Frank Garrett of the state police feels that Royos’ criminal past was not a factor in the disappearance, as he has had no known criminal associations for almost two years.Over the next week, six more people had turned up missing, including Dutch and German nationals.  As this article was being written, word reached the media that an entire family, the Begays, disappeared from their ranch home near Bylas.  “We don’t have any leads at the current time,” says Maj. Garrett of the attacks.  “No traces of any of the bodies have turned up.  We do, however, strongly advise motorists against traveling alone on Route 70, and against pulling over to the side of the road for any reason.”“There is a killer on the loose here, this much is clear,” says Sheriff Mangas Colorados of the San Carlos Reservation.  “We here on the reservation fully intend to cooperate with the state police on this case.  The killer, whoever he is, is a menace both to the Native Americans on theis reservation and to the people of Arizona as a whole.”- Phoenix New Times, 7/28/02</blockquote>
