Nevada Couple Found Dead; Neighbor Charged

Daniel Menard, 79, and his wife Stephanie, 73, were found dead beneath their neighbor's home at a nudist ranch in Southern California, with autopsy results confirming they died from blunt force trauma to the head, ruling their deaths as homicides. The couple was reported missing after they failed to attend church on August 25, and authorities discovered their remains in a concrete bunker five days later. Their neighbor, 62-year-old Michael Royce Sparks, has been arrested and charged with their murders but has pleaded not guilty. Neighbors indicated that Sparks had a history of disputes with the Menards, allegedly over a tree on their property line. The investigation revealed that Sparks had previously admitted to killing two people, leading to further scrutiny of his potential motives. The case remains under investigation as authorities gather more evidence regarding the tragic incident.
