This is the shallow ravine where RJ and Mack were found on May 27, 2004. After 3 days of searching (with no help at all from Sheriff's Dept. or Mack's mother[she wasn't much concerned about her missing child]) RJ's uncle spotted them in this ravine.
Sadly, our son was beaten to death and shot, and placed face-down in this ditch.
The Sheriff's Dept. didn't bother to tell us that our son was beaten, we found this out 2 months later.
The investigation was botched, so was the autopsy. There was not mention whatsoever of lividity in the autopsy report. The autopsy reports of the two victims, RJ and Mack had 2 different death dates on them. When we called the Medical Examiner's office to inquire about the death dates, the Medical examiner himself, slightly chuckled and told us that it was a typographical error.
The autopsy report of RJ stated that every bone in his skull was broken, both upper and lower jaw bones were broken, but the teeth were in good repair. (It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that if someone is beaten enough to break all bones in skull and upper and lower jaw bones that the teeth would have some damage to them. After obtaining copies of the case files (some 3 1/2 years later) I came across the post mortem dental exam, took it to my dentist and he verified that RJ had eight teeth knocked completely out!!!! Why wasn't this mentioned in the autopsy report?????
The boy that "confessed" to this crime, was helping us search on the 2nd day and wanted to use our cell phone before he left the search party to go home. We let him use to phone. 2 months after the murder, we looked on the bill to find the call that he had made.....it was the home phone # of the Leiutenant of this Sheriff's Dept. When we questioned the DA and the Sheriff's office about it, they would only get mad and not want to answer us, and try to make up every kind of lie that they thought we were stupid enough to believe.
There is far more to this case than meets the eye. The investigation was botched and neglected, the autopsy was botched. Many things in this case were "botched".
