Second body in burned car ID’d

The Clark County coroner's office has identified the second body found last month in a burned-out car in the desert as 25-year-old Martin Martinez Jr.

Like the 26-year-old woman Martinez was found with in the back seat of the car, he died of a gunshot wound to the head, the coroner's office found.

Las Vegas police believe Martinez was the boyfriend of the woman, identified as Kristin Roseanne Cicale. They were shot execution-style in the back of the head, police said.

An ATV rider found their charred bodies Nov. 11 in a burned-out Cadillac in the desert northwest of Blue Diamond Road and Hualapai Way. Earlier this month, police said they still didn't have a motive or any suspects in the slayings.

Ten days later, the charred body of a 26-year-old man, identified as Jeffrey Anderson Jr., was found in the desert south of the Henderson Executive Airport.

Las Vegas police have ruled out the possibility that the cases are related.
