Shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday, May 11, 2008, Detective Sgt. Greg Hagwood offered the first official word about the homicides that were suspected to have occurred at 143 Aldon Dr. in Chester that same day.
“We have a male and female deceased in the residence,” he said. “At this point we cannot reasonably identify the victims and this is to be considered an ongoing Plumas County Sheriff’s Office and California Department of Justice investigation.”
He also said that not all members of the family had been notified.
A later press release from the sheriff's office identified the victims as a young male and a young female.
According to Hagwood, the two individuals inside the residence were “apparent victims of homicide.”
The crime scene at 143 Aldon Drive in Chester, where two "apparent homicides" were discovered Sunday around noon.
