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.
