D4 Monday, September 1, 1997 Metro State Austin American-Statesman Sail AntOniO POUCG Funerals and Memorials still baffled by bones found in back yard ,3 m. 'We know we have a multiple homicide, but we still have the burden of proving who did it and Albert Ortiz, deputy chief Associated Press SAN ANTONIO Detectives have only begun trying to solve the mystery that has deepened with the identification of one of four people whose remains were found in a San Antonio back yard, police say. Among the bone pieces found in the home's back yard during a period of several weeks are some that belonged to Monika Rizzo, 44, who has been missing since May. But Deputy Chief Albert Ortiz said Friday that the announcement only closed one chapter of the mystery surrounding the dozens of 1- to 2-inch bone fragments unearthed behind the house where Rizzo lived. Police haven't identified the other three people whose DNA strands were found in the remains.

"We know we have a multiple homicide, but we still have the burden of proving who did it and how," Ortiz said. DNA tests could not reveal the age, sex or physical characteristics of the three unknown individuals. The evidence is virtually useless without a known person's DNA for comparison. Investigators obtained DNA from Monika Rizzo's son and subtracted that of her husband to identify her bones. "The detectives have a huge task ahead of them," police spokeswoman Sandy Perez said.

Identifying the victims is the detectives' first priority. San Antonio police have released a sketch of a woman drawn by an artist at the Texas Department of Public Safety in the hope that someone would be able to recognize her. The woman, whose likeness was drawn from mathematical calculations and an artist's interpretation of her skull, is described as Anglo, probably in her 20s or early 30s. She is thought to have had severe dental problems that Pauline Broussard Delco Pauline Broussard Delco was born July 9, 1906, in Abbeville, Louisiana, to Appolnaire and Elmirle Broussard.

Since learning Thursday that Rizzo is a homicide victim rather than a missing person, police repeated lengthy interviews with her husband of 26 years, Leonard Rizzo; one of her sons; and her parents, Bill and Monika McKinney.

Ortiz said the interviews turned up little new information and that Rizzo is just one of many suspects in the case. "He is absolutely devastated," his attorney, Bruce Smith of Beaumont, said of Rizzo's reaction to news that his wife is dead. Smith said Leonard Rizzo was preparing an Internet Web site he hoped would help find his missing wife. "He was real excited about doing what he could to put out a nationwide search for his wife." Monika McKinney said that although this week's news was devastating, at least she and her husband know what happened to their daughter. "I knew the Fourth of July that she was not alive.

Then I got a little glimmer of hope," she said.
