Man Killed His Own Family: How He Did It
The first thing he did after killing his wife was that he killed his two stepsons, Cameron Bowers, 10, and Preston Bowers, 5. Reports from the Police say that he strangled Cameron before choking Preston with a zip tie and drowning him in the bathtub and then he put both boys’ bodies in suitcases.
After such atrocity, he admitted that he drowned his two daughters Mercalli Jones, 2, and Aiyana Jones, 1 in a bathtub and put their bodies in a duffel bag. He then drove around in his van with the bodies in the back until he got into a single-car accident on September 15, 2009, approximately two months after the killing spree began.
Upon responding to the accident, the unknowing officer detected the smell of decomposition and searched the vehicle, finding his wife’s body. After the said investigations, Jones then took authorities to a wooded area where he had dumped the four children’s bodies.
