Deputies were able to trace a vehicle sighted at the scene to a home in Nipomo. Earlier this week, deputies arrested Cody Miller, 20, of Fresno, Jason Greenwell, 20, of Nipomo, Ty Hill, 28, of Santa Maria, Jacob York, 18, of Nipomo and Rhonda Wisto, 47, of Nipomo on murder charges and booked them into San Luis Obispo County Jail.
Sources said that Miller was attempting to dig the grave when his former cohorts turned on him and began beating his face with the shove. Miller was taken to a local hospital were he underwent face surgery and had his jaw wired shut.
