Missing Arizona Couple Found Buried In Neighbor's Yard



Michael and Tina Careccia

[From article]
A missing Phoenix-area couple were killed and buried in the yard of a man who told investigators he was high on methamphetamine when he shot the husband and wife, authorities said Thursday.
The disclosure came after the bodies of Michael Careccia, 44, an airline pilot, and his wife, Tina, 42, an accountant, were discovered on the Maricopa property of suspect Jose Valenzuela.

The couple was reported missing June 22 by Michael Careccia’s son after Tina Careccia didn’t show up at the construction company where she worked.
Authorities went door to door, launched air and ground searches and used dogs to try to track their scent.
Sheriff’s officials served a search warrant Wednesday at Valenzuela’s residence, and deputies were seen digging on the property before the bodies were found.
Valenzuela told investigators that he and the couple have been acquainted for the past two years and used methamphetamine together.
