where Smith said that the abduction took place.
Divers had searched the lake several times during the past few days, and police cordoned off the area around the lake yesterday.
Susan V. Smith, who had made tearful pleas on national television for the boys' return, will be charged in their murder, Union County Sheriff Howard Wells said.
Smith told police a gunman forced her from her car Oct. 25 before driving off with her sons, Michael, 3, and 14-month-old Alex. The car was found in John D. Long Lake, near
The identities of the bodies in the burgundy Mazda would have to be confirmed through an autopsy, Wells said. He said Smith was in custody at an undisclosed location.
Smith told authorities that an armed man had jumped into her car while she sat at a stoplight in a sparsely populated area at the edge of town. She said the man ordered her to drive several miles, then forced her out and took off with her two sons still strapped in their safety seats.
He would not take questions and did not discuss a possible motive or how investigators were led to the lake where the car was found. However, there had been several reports before the news conference that Smith had confessed.
On Wednesday, investigators searched Smith's home and took away several bags. Authorities had refused to comment on what they were looking for. There also had been

"Our lives have been torn apart by this tragic event," she said, with her estranged husband, David, by her side. "I can't express how much they are wanted back home."
Sarah Smith had been on her way to visit her friend, Mitch Sinclair, the night the children disappeared.

The Associated Press
FOLKSTON, Ga. — A bazaoo shell brought to high school by a student was dropped as it was being passed around a classroom. The shell exploded, injuring at least 12 students, emergency workers said.
Three students were in critical condition and two were in serious condition with shrapnel wounds, said Gerri Lowe, a representative for University Medical Center in Jacksonville, Fla., just south of Folkston.
The explosion tore apart the room at the Charlton County High School and shook houses a quarter-mile away.
Gregory Douglas had brought the shell to school and moments before it
exploded had told classmates it was harmless, said Jed Norton, an emergency worker from Irwin County.
The students were in class in a band room when Shannon Chesser dropped the 60mm shell, Norton said.
Dave Watkins, another emergency worker from Irwin County, said the room was torn apart.
Myra Glisson, who lives a quartermile from the school, said she felt the explosion.
Parents rushed to the school, but police initially would not allow anyone to go near the building.
"My house shook. I thought it was because of the construction going on nearby," she said. "It looks like a war zone. There are helicopters and everything down here."
Protester may get electric chair The Associated Press
PENSACOLA, Fla. — Ajury recommended yesterday that a former minister get the electric chair for the shotgun slayings of an abortion doctor and his bodyguard.
Paul Hill, a 40-year-old who has claimed that killing abortion doctors is divinely sanctioned and has portrayed himself as a martyr to the cause, showed no emotion as the jury's recommendation was read.
Barred by the judge from arguing that the slayings were justifiable homicide to save fetuses, Hill, acting as his own lawyer, offered no defense at his trial.
