''ABC15 takes you back to one of the most horrific murder scenes in Maricopa County. Almost 10 years later, whoever killed 70-year-old Philip Marquis and 30-year-old Leila Ziegler, has never been found.
"They're still out there, until we know for sure. They're still out there and who knows what other families they're affecting with this kind of behavior," says Kristen Jordan, sister of Leila Ziegler.''
"There was a lot of transient activity, a lot of drug activity, and it was kind of a higher crime rate than it is now out here," says Sgt. Steve Reaume, Silent Witness coordinator.
Sgt. Steve Reaume, with Silent Witness, walked with us through the crime scene. It is in a remote part of East Mesa, near Crismon Road and Main Street.
"There's the main house and then there was a small mobile trailer in the back, and that's where the victims were found," says Sgt. Reaume.''
Marquis was living in the trailer. Investigators say Leila, a mother of three, was visiting him at the time. The family believes they were friends from when she used to live in the area. We're told Leila was trying to get her life together. She was apparently clean and sober for five months.
"It was Halloween night and she wanted to go to a party. I said, 'Please, don't go. Please, don't go,' and she insisted on going, 'Mom, I'll be fine," says Barby Jeffers, mother of Leila Ziegler.
She never came back home to where she was living with her parents.''
''Leila was stabbed more than 50 times.
"She was stabbed on the front and back, all up and down her body... like, you could tell that there was a fight, that she had put up a fight because that's who she was, she was a fighter," says Jeffers.''
''MCSO is going back through the evidence, including retesting DNA found at the scene, with new improved technology.''
