CBI Identifies Three More Bodies in Davis Mortuary Case, Bringing Total to Nine

Overview

• The latest identifications were made using Rapid DNA and involve people who died between 2010 and 2012, with names not released.
• Fifteen remaining bodies are undergoing forensic genetic genealogy, with Colorado-based ANDE assisting the process at no cost.
• Authorities transferred 24 bodies and multiple containers of bones, cremains, and probable human tissue to the El Paso County Coroner for analysis.
• Investigators say the containers could represent an unknown number of additional individuals, and the overall probe remains active.
• Former Pueblo County coroner Brian Cotter resigned after regulators reported a strong odor, a concealed door, and decomposed bodies at Davis Mortuary.
