Suspected Bloodstains On Rocks Inside Burned Car With Bodies

Investigators found several rocks with suspected bloodstains on them inside a burned car that also contained two dead bodies.

A New Mexico State Police search warrant released Tuesday also says authorities are trying to identify the badly burned bodies.

The car and the bodies were found Sunday morning in the Santa Fe National Forest at Forest Roads 103 and 72 near Mesa Poleo in Rio Arriba County about 50 miles west of Espanola.

The investigation also is trying to determine how the two people died and what started the fire.
