The youngest was allegedly strangled by Lloyd Welch’s father and uncle after an escape attempt; the oldest may have been killed by another Welch cousin. Investigators believe Lloyd joined the other men in raping the girls over several days, and disposed of at least one of their bodies in a fire on Welch ancestral property in West Virginia.
