The Edinburg Police Department described the murder as “grisly” at the time.

Edinburg police said Alejandro was brutally beaten and Olivia was choked to death. Their bodies were found at a mobile home and were so badly decomposed that it took them some time to identify them, police added

According to a criminal complaint, the two suspects went back to the home after the murder and cleaned the scene with water and Clorox. They provided a written and verbal confession to police following their arrest.
