Thursday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Homicide officials are releasing the details of the double murder, and have also detained the two minors,.
According to Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau detectives, the two cases from Norwalk and Long Beach are indeed linked together.
The relationship of the male and female have not been revealed, but LCCN has learned that the couple could are married to each other.
On Tuesday, the family of a couple residing in the 16100 block of South Atlantic Boulevard, in the City of Compton, reported the couple missing under “suspicious circumstances.”
The family gave detectives the names of two subjects to contact regarding the disappearance. This morning, officials from the Coroner's Office arrived and recovered a body from the grave.
Anthony Rodriguez and his father Joseph, Saturday morning in their normally quiet north Norwalk neighborhood discovered the woman’s body.
Anthony, in his mid 20’s was taking his usual morning jog that lead him along a dirt pathway past a historical Norwalk estate that has stood the test of time for more than a century.
He smelled a foul odor coming from behind several vines and sage bushes on the large vacant lot that rambles for acres next to Metropolitan State Hospital in this bedroom community of over 110,000 residents located half way between Downtown Los Angeles and Anaheim.
Rodriguez recognized the smell as that of being either a “dead dog” or “cat” and that a number of coyotes normally can be found in the area.
When he looked over the wired fence, he noticed a decaying object was that of a woman’s body that appeared to have been there for “a few days.” He immediately called his father on his cell phone, and within minutes also dialed 911 and Norwalk Sheriff’s quickly converged on the property.
The elder Rodriguez, told Los Cerritos Community News exclusively that the dead victim he saw was a woman, either Latino or White, who was buried from above the waist, with a towel partially thrown around her. He said the body had “swollen up”
When members of the Norwalk Sheriff’s Station arrive at around 10 a.m., the area was quickly tuned into a crime scene investigation location.
Neighbors from throughout the area lined the streets to watch investigators and members of the Coroner’s, forensic specialists, combed the vacant lot to search for clues and to determine how the woman died, how long she had been entombed in the field, and who was responsible, and the cause of the death.
By Monday morning, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau detectives were continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the woman, who has not been positively identified.
“This doesn’t happen around this part of Norwalk,” the elder Rodriguez said.
Several other residents along Beaty Avenue thought differently.
“This vacant lot has been totally creepy, and people are coming and going all hours of the day and night around this lot,” a longtime female resident who only wanted to be known as “Sue” told LCCN. She also said that many truck drivers park their big rigs along this stretch of Norwalk Boulevard “well into the night.”
By Sunday afternoon, steady streams of on lookers were peering over the fence and yellow crime scene tape, wondering about the identity of the victim.
Vickie Diaz, a resident of Santa Fe Springs said the situation and scene reminded her of a “horror movie.”
“We know Halloween is around the corner, this has really shocked and scared many of us,” she said.
