The man accused of killing a married California couple in their 70s who went missing from their home at a nudist resort was reportedly discovered hiding under a house — along with human remains.
Daniel Menard, 79, and Stephanie Menard, 73, were last seen on Aug. 24, police have said. As Law&Crime previously reported, their car was found unlocked down the road from their home that same day. Stephanie Menard’s purse was found in the home, as well as both of the couple’s cellphones.
Also missing was their dog, Cuddles, a small white Shih Tzu.
