Motorists stopped in Joshua Forest along U.S. 93 near Congress, Ariz., to take photographs and the found the bodies of both Rebecca and William, each with a gunshot to the head. Rebecca's mother was told by investigators that Rebecca had been raped.

 

Rebecca and William were found in Yavapai County between Wickenburg and Kingman on the east side of U.S. 93 where crosses now stand. Shopping bags identified as being from California were on each of their heads. In addition, a piece of paper from California was also found at the scene. 

 

It is believed they were murdered somewhere in California and transported to Arizona due to lack of blood loss at the scene.

 

Approximately one week prior to Rebecca's murder, she had gone to her father's home and tearfully told him she was scared for her life because she had witnessed a murder. She refused to talk to police at that time.

 

Williams was buried in a Potter's field and was never claimed.
