McStay Family Found, all Dead

[UncleDan]

Anyone remember this story from a few years back? This is some really weird turn of events. Unfortunately the missing family was recently discovered dead in shallow graves out in the Mojave Desert. When this all happened a few years ago it looked as if they abruptly left their Southern California house for some unknown reason and crossed into Mexico, never to be seen or heard from again. But it looks like they might have been up to more than people thought... Drugs maybe? Weird stuff....

Three years ago an entire Fallbrook family vanished leaving eggs on the counter and pets unattended.
They have not been seen or heard from since and the FBI has taken over the search for Joseph and Summer McStay and their two preschool-age boys, Gianni and Joey Jr.,
On Friday, officials in San Bernardino County announced dental records have helped identify two bodies found in shallow graves near Victorville as Summer and Joseph. They say they believe two additional bodies found in a separate grave are those of Joseph Mateo and Gianni.
This timeline documents the events leading up to and following the report of the family's disappearance.

I was following this when it was featured. WOW, kinda surprised I thought they left willingly, but seemed to be alot of questions. This finding just adds more questions

 

[GOTSVT?]

Interested to know what they find out.

 

[charba951]

so that's what happened

One of my students did her weekly assignment on this....talk about creepy! Even their bank accounts were untouched.

I read an article that said they could barely afford rent according to their old landlord. Then all of a sudden it's like they had all this money and then bought that house for $320k. Over $100k sitting in their accounts when they disappeared and none was ever touched in that time. Makes me think they were possibly involved with moving drugs?? Either that, or he pissed off a business partner off really bad, and the hitmen staged them crossing into Mexico by parking their car close to the border.

Csi

Surprised that my local story is not in national news. Husband admits killing wife using a martial arts move, but won't say where the wife/kids' bodies are (presumed dead as well). It's been a few weeks with major searches and nothing has turned up.

[Serpent]

Hmm Fallbrook eh? Thats near Camp Pen.

This story is weird, I hate unsolved mysteries.

Any updates?? I wonder if info could be found in their emails

 

[Sonic605hp]

I'd bet my life they were involved in drug running some way or another with the wrong people, stepped out of line and were silenced.

 

[JasonFC]

Looks like they McWent in the wrong direction.

 

[90goldtsiawd]

Scary story...

 

[Red94SVT]

It has that drug running feel to it, but if they were running from something drug related the last thing I would do was run IN to Mexico. :shrug:
Just weird, wonder if they will ever find out what happened

 

[thomas91169]

Yeah this is a pretty weird one. I didn't hear about the first part back when, but heard they found the bodies I did my research. Definitely a weird one. Someone was showing me they had footage of a family of four like that going through the border and walking right across.

Surprised that my local story is not in national news. Husband admits killing wife using a martial arts move, but won't say where the wife/kids' bodies are (presumed dead as well). It's been a few weeks with major searches and nothing has turned up.

Because Florida.

 

[D's01Snake]

I think it's time the svtp detectives get on the case. The police need to post in smack down. But just like its has been said before, the case has a drug feel to it.

 

[01bluesnake]

My vote goes for drug dealings, more so if they were always strapped for cash, then came upon a half mil between the house and accounts.

 

[HighCal]

Yea this is a weird one for sure

 

[ElscottHavoc]

Hahaha...yea...oh wait...**** that!!!!

Its pretty obvious that they got messed up with the wrong crowd...a crowd of people I wouldn't want to chance getting wrapped up in because of some curious snooping.

Although its rather unlikely that I or any other SVTP member would run across information investigators haven't already, I wouldn't want to be more involved in the case than an anonymous spectator.

I mean, if its drug related, its very likely cartel related and then were talking serious shit, not some lowly scammer or petty thieve that conned someone out of a blower. Were talking serious criminal businesses, with money rivaling (or greater than most corporations), intertwined with Mexican government, and more than capable of shutting anyone up they feel like. I mean, they have paid engineers designing custom submarines for drug transportation, so who knows what type of presence they have online.

Just think how often someone on SVTP either lives near, knows, or is the alleged scammer. Bet no one thought Cobra Wolverine was in so much deep shit...so who's to say one of these drug lords isn't rolling in a Ford GT and member of SVTP.

If it is Cartel related, they've got their hands and pockets buried so deep in the system, we may never know for sure what occurred and even the FBI might not care much either. Its nothing new for cartels to have agents killed, and if all leads point to drug trafficking, I'm not sure the FBI is going to want to risk the lives of its agents on such a manhunt. Maybe there were some innocent lives lost, maybe 3 of them were just along for the ride and didn't realize what was going on, but its hard telling.

I know you probably meant it as a joke, and that might seem paranoid, but....**** that!!!
