Autopsies and Police Report
Out of Oblivion
Autopsy Report
The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office medical examiner Dr. Albert P. Norris
The bodies have been remanded to the All Saint’s Cremation Services and rendered to ash.
The removal of eyelids and the carving of ritualistic “scales” and “gills” are elements of sacrificial rites of a stone age culture on Ponape, a South Pacific island. The rites are associated with an unnamed fish-man or merman god.
The person(s) handling the murder weapons had little experience with such implements. They bent or broke multiple weapons during the crime. One of the victims, Daniel Abril, had three quarters of a knife blade bent in between two ribs and broken off in his body. The removal of eyelids and patterns “drawn” on the victims shows an unusual amount of care when compared to the murder itself.
The earliest wounds (indicated by clotting factors) occurred on the victims’ thighs, lower body, hands, and forearms. Later, vast trauma was inflicted on the chest, neck, and face with knives, many of which were bent in the frenzy. Spatters on scene indicate that the victims collapsed to the floor before this final trauma was inflicted. At least one of the attackers bled at the scene, but their blood type is O, so common that it reveals nothing in itself. In addition the victims were positioned in a way so they would watch as the other victims getting mutilated. Its highly probable that the victims were still alive when the mutilation occurred.
Two of the victims, Homer Ryan and Cierra Abril, had multiple defensive wounds, as well as wounds to their sides and backs, indicating they attempted to block the attacker, turn, and run away. It also likely means they ran into the attacker and had an exchange before the attack took place.
Police Report
Senior Detective Julia Reardon
Those who committed the crime paid little attention to being subtle or controlled about it. The crime scene speaks of rage and random, uncontrolled violence. Whoever did this appears to have a very personal grudge against the family. It is likely the family knew them.
In the room where the infant was likely killed, show that four people stood with their backs against the north wall. All four of those individuals were between 1.1 and 1.4 meters tall.

The Abril murders are by far the most violent and horrific he has ever seen.The bodies were extensively photographed, samples were taken, stomach contents were removed, impressions of bite marks and pressure marks were taken, X-rays were taken, and finally, MRI scans of two of the bodies with deep trauma were taken.
The bodies have been remanded to the All Saint’s Cremation Services and rendered to ash.

- There were multiple killers.
- At least one killer was under 35 kg and stood less than 1.5 meters tall.
- The weapons were all present in the house and were taken from the kitchen.
- The murderers gained access through the back patio door, which is thought to have been often left open.
- After the fingerprints were processed, three sets of unknown prints were recovered. These prints failed to score any hits on national databases.
- Victims were disabled and then killed in front of other victims, but identifying who, when and where is impossible due to the sheer amount of violence and blood.
In the room where the infant was likely killed, show that four people stood with their backs against the north wall. All four of those individuals were between 1.1 and 1.4 meters tall.
