Dozens of forensic experts and grave diggers began working.

Step by step they examined every inch of the basement where the victim was located, collecting thousands of pieces of evidence.

But the most important task was to find those who started this terrible story 10 years ago.

On the third day of continuous searching, a ground-penetrating radar operator detected a suspicious structural anomaly under a thick concrete pavement in an old maintenance shed located 50 m from the main building.

The investigators immediately brought in heavy construction machinery.

According to the exhumation report, forensic experts found two skeletal bodies 2 m under a continuous layer of concrete and compacted earth.

Genetic testing officially confirmed the worst suspicions.

The remains were those of Lilian Cooper, 63, and Caron McDonald, 43.

The predator did not leave them in the Secollya forest.

He transported the bodies to his secret bunker to forever hide the evidence of the murders under a layer of gray cement.

At the end of December 2016, the city of Visalia was enveloped in deep sadness.

A solemn and very quiet farewell ceremony was held in the local cemetery .

Lilian and Carol were buried with due honors, bringing together hundreds of supportive people who remembered the family.

A young woman was standing near the two recent graves.

Her face was pale and her figure looked incredibly fragile in her black wool coat.

She had already undergone three complex surgical procedures.

The doctors successfully removed the chip from his neck and carefully removed the shattered metal plate from his right collarbone, cleaning the bone of dirty screws.

His body was free of the foreign metal and his mind was slowly freeing itself from the imposed reality.

The investigation confirmed that genetically she was Amy Jones, the biological daughter of the killer.

But blood did not determine his destiny.

By refusing to accept the identity that the predator had forcibly imposed on her, the woman made the only right decision for herself.

In 2017, she officially filed documents with the court, demanding that she be legally assigned the name Anna McDonald forever.

It was an act of supreme justice.

He decided to keep it alive until the end of his days.

the memory of two strong women who gave her a real childhood and gave their own lives in a dark canyon, desperately trying to protect her from absolute evil.
