AZ - Jerry, 62, & Susan McFalls, 62, homicide, Littlefield, 11 Jan 2018 *reward*

[Steelslady]

Poor Susan and Jerry- I don't even want to imagine what those two went through before they died. We can surmise that the other body is Jerry. May they rest in peace with the angels together. What a crappy ending to one's life, and what for? Who and why would anyone want to hurt this poor couple?

This case is so sad. Hoping for swift justice and peace for the family.

The remains were found about two weeks prior on October 15 near Utah's border with Arizona.

A map shows the approximate locations of the McFalls home in Littlefield in relation to the site near the Utah-Arizona border where two sets of human remains were discovered on October 15, 2018.

Missing persons case becomes death investigation

Susan McFalls’ remains were confirmed through medical records and a medical device found with the remains.

Both sets of remains have been forwarded to the FBI Crime Lab for scientific examination and authorities hope to determine the manner and approximate time of their deaths.

The sheriff’s office say their investigation is ongoing. But McFalls’ family members said in a video they posted on a Facebook page Thursday that they believe “something happened” to get the couple to leave their property Jan. 11.

The body of a missing Utah woman was found in the Arizona desert, but the mystery remains — What happened to the McFalls?

Wonder why it's taking so long to identify Jerry. I sure hope LE is on top of this. So very sad.

For some reason, it takes awhile to identify the males. My cousin was found in a field, deceased for about a year, and it took another year to identify him.

Sorry for the loss of your cousin, Steelslady. That's very interesting, and I wonder why it could take that much longer for a male ID?

Last week the daughter-n-law of the Mcfalls posted on the Mcfalls FB page that it would take longer to identify Jerry's body because he didn't have any major health issues and that it would take more than dental records by themselves to identify his body. Susan Mcfalls had back surgery and implants placed in the back which made it quicker to identify her.

I hope evidence was found on the bodies and at the scene of where the remains were recovered to accelerate the homicide investigation and arrests will be forthcoming.

Thanks! Makes sense. That's my fervent hope as well, that there is some definitive evidence that will help nail the one/s responsible. Even though LE has not yet called it a murder case, I've no doubt in my mind it is that.

May their killer or killers be brought to swift justice!!

Thinking of Jerry and Susan!

Still no updates? Anyone know if they ever released COD?

Last I knew, the family was still waiting on positive ID of the 2nd set of remains

This one should be moved to located persons.. #moderator

As you can see above your post , the second person is not yet been identified officially. If this information is confirmed the thread will move accordingly.

I believe the unidentified remains are at FBI crime lab and I don't know if it has been impacted by the government shutdown so it could take another month or so to identify the remains. Its possible the assailant might have removed the teeth from the remains to make identification more difficult.

 

[Tripod]

Checking in on Jerry and Susan. I hope and pray that there was some forensic evidence LE was able to collect , when the remains were found, that will point to the killer. The McFalls and their family seem to be just the nicest people, and this case is one that tugs at my heart and soul. All cases do, but this one especially so.

 

[Tripod]

I haven't forgotten you, Susan and Jerry! Hoping for updates soon and answers for your family.

Still no ID yet on the 2nd victim? Must be incredibly frustrating for the family.
