HCSO Homicide Investigators are working with other local authorities and have not yet confirmed the identity of the remains.
A cause of death for Michelle also remains unclear, and cops have yet to say whether they plan to charge Roenz with his mother's murder.
The teen and his mother went missing on Thursday around noon near their home on the 14700 block of Birch Arbor Court in Humble.
Nebraska State Police were able to find the teen by identifying the black four-door Mazda Texas police reported they were last seen in.
Michelle was quite active on her Facebook page, plugging different rescue animals and encouraging others to adopt available pets.
She lived with her husband, Tyler and his older sister.
Cops have yet to say whether there were any domestic issues within the family, and what might have led to Roenz's disappearance, as well as his mother's death.
