Second Body Identified In 'Brutal' Killings Case
FORT MORGAN, Colo. (CBS4) - Someone killed two people and dumped their bodies in two different areas in Morgan County in a case authorities are calling "brutal."
The body of Destiny McMinn, 18, was found Sunday in a shed in the 9000 block of Road Q in the Fort Morgan area. She had originally been reported as missing on April 2.
Authorities say she may have been in a relationship with Santos Macias, 40. His body was found last month in a vacant garage in Fort Morgan. He had been reported missing in late March.
The exact cause of death of the two people hasn't been released, but police say they were both murdered at one location.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is involved in the investigation.
The sheriff's office and coroner's office have also utilized a forensic odontologist and a forensic anthropologist as part of the investigation, as well as a K-9 and handler who specialize in locating human remains.
