(AP) -Virginia Mansfield sits in the small kitchen of her cramped trailer home and looks back on a year in which her life dissolved her husband, three sons and a son-in-law all went to jail, police dug up four skeletons in her backyard, and sightseers haunt her.

"It seems like my whole world went to pieces all at once," said Mrs. Mansfield, a 49-year-old mother of seven. "Easter a year ago we were all here for dinner. This Easter well, it was a hollow Easter. And it's not over yet." Mrs.

Mansfield, who still lives on the property where the skeletons were discovered, is the mother of two young men who are awaiting trial in Santa Cruz County in connection with the death of a Watsonville woman in November. Her oldest son, Billy Mansfield 25, is facing a charge of murder in the strangulation death of Rene Saling, a 29-year-old mother of three. Another son, Gary Mansfield, 23, is charged with being an accessory to murder. Mrs. Mansfield admits the troubles seem overwhelming, but only seldom does her iron-willed, matriarchal determination slip.

"It got so nobody wanted to go outside, not even to hang up laundry, because of the police, the reporters and the sightseers," Mrs. Mansfield said. "After a while it got to a point if the cranes kept going it was OK. When it stopped it meant they found something. When it stopped my stomach came up in my throat.

The digging, which police said they started after receiving a tip, stopped in mid-April, but the stream of curious did not. "A busload (of sightseers) came by just this week a busload," she said. "Easter morning there were cars driving by for a look." Her two sons here are not the only ones in jail. Her husband, William, 56, is serving 30 years in a Florida prison for sex crimes against young girls. Another son, Robbie, at 18 her youngest, and her son-in-law, Terry Kott, are in a nearby jail accused of burglary.

No charges have been brought in the deaths of the four women whose skeletons were dug from shallow, sandy graves behind the Mansfield home on a wooded, five-acre sight strewn with junk, but Mrs. Mansfield knows those charges are coming next. "Billy Mansfield is my prime No. 1 suspect," says Hernando County Sheriff's Lt. John Whitman, who is heading the investigation.

"I know they think Billy is to blame for those bodies," she said. "The warrant that let them start digging up my place on March 16 said he is a suspect. "I didn't know they (the skeletons) were there. They've told me over and over my son put them there. I've heard it so much I'm at a point where I'm wondering, 'Is it In Santa Cruz, Billy Mansfield and his brother are slated to go to trial May 4.

Investigators here have alleged Billy Mansfield met Saling in a Watsonville bar the night before her partially-clad body was found in a drainage ditch near the county dump. They have charged he strangled Saling and then fled with his brother Gary to Winnemucca, where he was eventually arrested. The ensuing publicity about the discovery of four bodies on the Mansfield ranch has led defense attorneys to ask that the Mansfield brothers' trial be moved out of Santa Cruz County. While backhoes dug in a 31-day search for bodies, Mrs. Mansfield sat inside her enlarged mobile home with daughter Cheryl.

19; granddaughter Shurrie, 15 months; son Terry, 21; Robbie, before he was jailed, and sometimes Tim, 23. So far only two skeletons have been identified, one as a 15-year-old girl strangled five years ago, the other a 21-year-old woman apparently shot to death. The other two are believed to be women in their 20s. Mrs. Mansfield points to a thin stand of trees out back, once a thicket; her husband's refrigeration repair shop, now a pile of wood and broken concrete; an above-ground swimming pool, now in pieces.

"This is what they did searching, looking, digging," she said bitterly. "And then they left."
