A string of dead bodies found in Reedley. Police are investigating

Police in the city of Reedley, California, are trying to piece together the suspected killings of four people found at two homes.

On Tuesday, police announced a fourth body had been discovered at a separate home in Reedley as officers served search warrants related to the investigation. It's believed to be related to a burglary, and authorities said on Saturday a gun safe was found emptied at the homes where the initial bodies were found.

Authorities have focused their investigation in Selma, Parlier and Reedley. In Selma and Parlier, vehicles that may be connected with the investigation were seized. In Reedley, three people were arrested at the home where the fourth body was found. Among those arrested was an adult man, woman and minor.

That's about as clear as mud - what was happening in that house and why was the family murdered?

What a mess and 3 different locations for warrants, Geeezzzz!!!!!! My heart is broken for this family. They had dinner with family Thurs eve and by Friday her brother went over and there was no answer, something happened that night. Not to mention but in above posts I read 2 were found in a hole in the yard, who the heck dug that up? No mention of a hole when family had dinner. Absolutely heart breaking, may they rest in peace, may the family get justice and answers. Great job LE for digging and continuing to find out what the heck is going on here.

So it was the next door neighbors who may have killed the family? I wonder who the third person is that hasn't been identified yet? Horrifying and I wonder what the motive could be

4th body discovered at home next to Reedley homicide scene, no connection yet, police say

Another body has been discovered next to the house in Reedley where three bodies were found over the weekend, according to Police Chief Joe Garza.

Police Arrest 17-Year-old Boy, 2 Adults in Reedley Homicide Case.​

It is the 17 yr old that has the 4 murder charges. The other 2 people are charged as accessories.

Per this article the 34 y.o. adult woman arrested was the 17 y.o. boy's mother and the other person charged (21 y.o. male) was the mother's boyfriend.

Police have been searching for Matthew Bonds, who is Guadalupe’s husband.

They have not yet confirmed if the body found Tuesday morning could be his.
Police Arrest 17-Year-old Boy, 2 Adults in Reedley Homicide Case

I wonder if the motive was robbery. A gun safe was emptied at the home of the initial call (family members 3 dead). IF the most recently discovered body is that of Matthew Bond - Perhaps Matthew was taken over to neighbor kid's house to be intimidated into giving up combo for the now emptied gun safe and then murdered at the neighboring house? Maybe the occupants of the Bond home were secured somehow and threats to Matthew were something along the lines of you will give me the combo or I will kill them all? Once combo was revealed the other three family members next door were murdered to protect identity of the killer?

I find it hard to believe that many murders occurred next door and one potentially at their own home and the 34 yr old charged mother and her boyfriend were unaware and not involved until later. FOUR people is a lot of people for one lone 17 year old murderer to secure and kill without someone getting away or getting the upper hand. JMO MOO Big fat cow.

The third victim found in the house has not yet been identified, police say.

The fourth body has not yet been identified, but police say the person appears to be a White male in his 40s.
17-Year-Old Boy, 2 Adults Charged In Connection with 4 Murders After Alleged Home Invasion: Police

I am presuming the fourth victim is MB. But even if I am right about that that still leaves victim three from the Bond home unidentified? I wonder what is taking so long. Some reports have said that third victim also lived at the residence. Makes me thing that individual's injuries are making official ID hard. But the extended family has spoken about Guadalupe and Billy, I would think they would also have made mention of a fourth occupant in that home.

Can't wait for more details.

Is it possible the 17 year old who is charge with murders had an accomplice, who is the remaining unidentified dead person at crime scene #1?

 

[tlcya]

two vehicles located at one SW location, and a third located at another SW location. three vehicles they feel are involved somehow.

Matthew Bond's body was found in the garage of neighboring property. Substantial violent deaths. Not releasing the manner at this time.

17 year old pending arraignment right now. mom and boyfriend have bonded out on their accomplice charges.

police chief does NOT think this 17 year old acted alone. They are still investigating and looking for additional information.

Q&A (I can't hear the questions but can hear the answers)
some missing property belonging to Billy Bond was located. clarified the suspects lived at the house directly next door to victims. explaining relationships - Daryl Bonds is Billy's son, Matthew is Daryl's son, Lupe is wife to Matthew DIL to Daryl.

FROM the LIVE PRESSER AT 1PM (pst) TODAY ON YOURVALLEYCENTRAL.COM

ETA listening again because I was interrupted.

Safe was found to have been pried open. two bodies initially found (Billy and Lupe). As they continued canvassing backyard they found freshly disturbed dirt. That is how they discovered the third body of a male. That person was Daryl Bonds, father of Matthew.

we feared Matthew may have been kidnapped and he has health issues. Leads/info were developed which led to knowledge that weapons, money and other personal belongings of Billy Bonds were missing. Search warrants at neighbor house, residents in the city of parlier and selma, looking for evidence or property linking to this crime.

forensic evidence was found, as was some property belongings to Billy Bonds.

three generations of Bonds - murdered.

Awful just awful.

This has to be more than ‘just’ a burglary.. surely?

Killing all 4 in that house suggests to me a long standing family feud

I am still struggling to understand how one 17 year old boy managed to murder four people at two locations all by his big boy self. Feels like there HAVE to be accomplices to the actual murders and not just after the fact JMO

Also can't figure out WHY Matthew's body was found at the teens house in the garage. Did Matthew interrupt the break-in and murders and chase the teen back to his own home?

Maybe there had been pervious neighbor conflict? Or perhaps gossip around that the Bonds family had all this great stuff in a safe?

I agree - SOMETHING precipitated this. Lots to be explained yet here.

Yes somethings just not sitting right about this one for me at the moment.

Also surely a neighbour robbing a neighbour would be done when nobody was home you’d think?
