An Arizona man charged with killing a married couple who went missing more than a week ago 'essentially confessed' to shooting them dead during a suspected drug deal gone wrong and then burying the bodies in his backyard, authorities revealed this afternoon.
Jose Valenzuela, 38, of Maricopa, was arrested early Thursday morning on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Michael and Tina Careccia.
The couple, who have five children between the two of them, were last seen alive leaving their Maricopa home on the morning of June 22. Mr Careccia's 17-year-old son reported them missing that night after he could not reach them.
Jose Valenzuela was taken into custody after police officers discovered the bodies of a man and a woman buried in Valenzuela’s backyard.
During a press conference Thursday afternoon, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu told reporters that when questioned by police, Valenzuela 'essentially confessed' to the murders, recounting for the officers how he shot the husband and wife with a .22-caliber handgun and then borrowed a backhoe to bury their bodies behind his house.
Deputies were able to recover the suspected murder weapon while executing a search warrant at Valenzuela’s house Wednesday...
The couple's abandoned 2008 Honda Accord was found Monday about a half-mile away from their home, covered in dirt.

Get the rope.
What does essentially confessed mean?
I must question this story because we all know that drugs are a ‘victimless crime’.
Libertarians have told us for years the only ones getting hurt, if anyone, are the users themselves. That’s why it’s okay to legalize illicit drugs!
You’re an idiot.
Alcohol , on the other hand, is safe and has led to no societal problems, crimes, or deaths.
I wonder if when a illegal murders two people does the media consider it a crime?
I know Trump does...
They looked like a nice couple. The criminal who murdered them might well have lied about their drug use.
Would it be bigoted to ask what the perp’s citizenship status is?
meth isn’t a drug, it’s a poison.
Dunno.
Jeff Spicoli was a good guy. All he wanted were some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and he was fine.
Ah yes. Typical retort when a Libertarian runs out of logic. Usually within the first 10 minutes or so.
The truth, I mainly posted this because I was appalled by the event, and wondered of course whether the perp was just one of the local gentry, or an import.
I like how this subdivision looks like it is on Mars.
Good question. I don’t know if there’s anything here:
“employee”.
Apparently, there was rumor that Valenzuela did some ‘work’ for the Careccias. I’m guessing it was ‘yard work’.
And faux-conservatives display their abysmal ignorance of libertarian philosophy in even less time. Hence the ease with which one can spot the idiot on the thread.
Namely, you.

Don’t you find it hard to breathe with you head up your ass all the time?
