An ax or cleaver had been used for the grotesque operations. All, apparently, were nude at death, and there were teeth marks on the bodies. An autopsy showed that one of the two teenagers' bodies had been buried for eight or nine months, the other as long as a year. One of the Providence girls had apparently tried to flee.
