A man suspected of murdering nine of his family members apparently was involved in polygamy and incest, fathering two of the victims with his own daughters, police said Saturday.Wesson, 57, has fathered children with at least four women, two of whom are his own daughters, said Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer.
"We are exploring the possibility that there were other women
he was involved with, either sexually or in some sort of polygamist
relationship," Dyer said.
Dyer said police believe they know the cause of death, but would
not release that information. "I can tell you that there were no mutilations," Dyer said. "The bodies were intact."
Six coroners, triple the typical weekend staff, were working
Saturday to identify the victims and determine how they were
killed, Deputy Fresno County Coroner Sarah Davis said.
