Each of them had been shot in the head. Several days later, police found Ian Spiro’s body in a parked car on the Borrego Desert east of San Diego. Even though the murders were a state responsibility, the FBI did damage control by intruding into the investigations, stating that Spiro had killed his family and then committed suicide.
