He added that one of the reasons that no charges were laid in the killings was that the investigators were not yet able to fully access the ruins of Keith Caneiro's house, which covered an area of 5,700 square feet.
Mr. Gramiccioni added that the quadruple homicide scene was "one of the most heinous cases" ever seen by investigators.
