BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that two orphaned children will remain with their grandmother in Argentina.

Alden and Aliana Heiss’ parents, Karl Heiss and Marisa Bauducco-Heiss, were killed in a car crash near Seattle last year. Aliana, who was 10, suffered severe brain damage; Alden, who was 6, suffered whiplash but has recovered.

The parents had handwritten wills granting custody to maternal grandmother Violeta Conti, but paternal grandparents Fred and Anna Belle Heiss, of Malibu, Calif., sought custody. They contended Aliana needed medical care available only in the U.S.
