CNN International reports that authorities have told Patrick McStay, Joseph McStay’s father, that two of the bodies recovered belong to Joseph McStay and his wife, Summer. Sheriff’s officials confirmed at least one of the exhumed bodies were bound with an electric cord. The other two bodies are still being identified and it is not clear if they are those of the couple’s children, Joseph and Gianni. Police are treating the deaths as homicides (obviously).
San Bernardino County Deputy Coroner’s Investigator Bob Hunter obtained dental records of the McStay family, and soon found that records were a match to the recovered remains, which had been buried in two graves that were one to two feet deep.
