The police detective was asked where the body dug up Friday night the one now identified as Shafizadeh's had come from, where it had been found. "We don't know where it came from. We are working on that," he said.

He was asked how it got into the grave. "We are working on that," he said. Poor record-keeping at the cemetery had been a major problem over the.weekend. Sanchez was asked what happened to the body found in Ciales. "We don't know.
