Their disappearance prompted a search, and on November 24, 1984, both men were found deceased on a marijuana farm near Weitchpec, CA. The circumstances surrounding their deaths were immediately suspicious, leading to an investigation by local authorities.

likely been involved in a violent altercation, as their bodies showed signs of trauma. The remote location of the marijuana farm and the nature of their injuries suggested foul play.
