After responded to reports of a small fire June 19, they entered the property shared by Chesser, 34, and Story, 39, to find a “confronting scene,” the release noted, “as Julian’s body had been dismembered.”
“Julian’s head had been removed during the dismemberment,” police shared, “and, despite extensive searches, has not yet been located.”
