Case # GJKM7721
December 12, 1977
The San Aguilar Funeral Home was in a state of complete disarray. 3 days earlier the funeral home had to be evacuated due to a possible gas leak in the building. The whole area was put under a blockade and no person was allowed within the premises for that period.
After the blockade was lifted, the inspectors discovered a gruesome sight. All the corpses in the morgue were splattered across the area. Preliminary theories were that the perpetrator had used explosives on the bodies for some unknown purpose. It seems as if all the explosions were localized, further investigation and autopsies revealed that the blasts all originated from the stomach area of the corpses. No explosive residue was found.
The preliminary investigation took several days, as it was difficult to ascertain which body parts belonged to which corpse. The families of the victims were informed and the funeral home is now under a suit for gross negligence.
The case does seem criminal in nature, but the profile of the perpetrator eludes the investigators. Once the autopsies were completed it was found that certain bodies had bite marks going all the way into the bones. Looking through the records, the investigators realized that all the bodies with bite marks had yet to be embalmed.
It would seem that the police are dealing with a highly deranged individual. The method of the crime has yet to be discerned but the investigators are confident that they will be able to track down the cause of these heinous acts.
Currently, no suspects have been considered. The case remains open.
