The investigation revealed Carissa was beaten and shot in the head with a shotgun. Emily was beaten with an object likely a hammer. Both of the girls were dragged into the bedroom, stacked on top of one another, and set on fire with a solvent. Emily was still alive. She died later at the hospital. Investigators say Emily was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Carissa’s former live-in boyfriend was arrested. After being held for more than a year, he was released and the District Attorney dropped the charges because there was no DNA match. That was 2004.
No one has been arrested for the murders since.
