An archeologist found the bodies in a shallow grave in a remote area of the Mojave Desert a few miles east of the tiny community of Ludlow. They were unclothed, had no IDs and had died from a combination of gunshot wounds and blunt force trauma.
Coroner s investigators estimated they had been in the grave for six to eight months. Efforts over the years to find out their identities were unsuccessful.
Investigators, meanwhile, identified a person of interest, Howard Neal, a Ludlow resident who left after the killings and went to Mississippi, where he was accused of killing his brother and raping and killing his 13-year-old niece and another girl in 1981.

A driver was killed and eight others were injured after a crash involving multiple vehicles at an intersection in Hesperia.
Emergency personnel responded shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday to the area of Seventh and Third avenues where they found three cars had collided, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said.
Investigators said they believe a Mazda 3 traveling westbound on Third Avenue ran a stop sign and struck a Chevrolet Cobalt.
“The impact from the initial collision caused the black Cobalt to overturn, ejecting the driver,” sheriff’s officials said.
