Well, that’s clear as mud. :) Sorry, I know “initials only” are required, but I lost track of the characters a long time ago.
Let me try to post a link so you can read the comments and see the other DM name, I want to abide by websleuth rules.

KGET 17 news on FB, there is a live video. In the comments of the video are the other names.

Thanks for your help IRTM. :)

ETA: No DM initials anywhere that I could see. But it’s OK. This case is too convoluted for me to follow anyway. o_O

KH of KGET stated on her post on FB a body was found along with possible human remains. Does that mean two?

Apparently, KGET came back and corrected their error - only one body found. Another poster mentioned it on the Bakersfield 3 thread.

Update. According to article Joseph Lara overdosed at a different location and was transported to Dennis Marroquin’s residence along with another individual and the body was burned and buried.
Docs: Man says he burned, buried body found in backyard

Holy moly!!! Who burns a body these days? It takes a long time of an extremely high heat fire to destroy a body. (Like they did in the Grinstead case.) If burned correctly, there’d be little to nothing to bury. I cannot imagine. This dude sounds like an idiot. Can you EVEN imagine finding a human toe in your backyard?! I. Would. Freak!!! JMO

Considering the fact that an intact body would actually help prove that the individual died of an overdose, why would one need to burn a body before hiding it?

Coupled with the fact that Williams is on the run, I feel more confident in the theory that this was more than an OD and some rookies who panicked.

This part is interesting to me: "The new documents also allege Morrison acted as an accessory by helping her boyfriend flee from Bakersfield. She also allegedly told a witness she cleaned up the crime scene, according to the documents."

Could mean many things.

Williams' FB is no longer visible. Would LE do this, or is it more likely that he (or someone on his behalf) deactivated it?
