Police have confirmed that the bodies of a missing Harrisonburg grandmother and her granddaughter have been found in Shenandoah County and the Shenandoah National Park.
The man accused of abducting both victims about one month ago led officials to the bodies, according to the terms of his plea agreement, admitting guilt to two first degree murders.
Hareton Jamie Rodriguez Sariol was once a family friend of 48-year-old Elizabeth Rodriguez Rubio and her granddaughter, 12-year-old Angie Carolina Rodriguez Rubio, who were both last seen alive on Aug. 5th.
He could have faced two counts of capital murder in the case, which would have had the death penalty as a possible sentence — under his deal, Sariol will face up to life in prison and no less than 20 years for each count of first-degree murder.
