This set of hands belongs to a former Danville CA Stake member - who is also standing with Las Vegas in the background - There are other Mormons in Pittsburg where another victims was beheaded.  I'm going to wait this out to see if Alameda DA offices will review what I've found and what I know about this case.

IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA 

FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT 
DIVISION TWO  
THE PEOPLE, 
 Plaintiff and Respondent, 
v. 
ERNEST FRANCES SCHERER, 
 Defendant and Appellant. 
  
 A132585 

 (Alameda County 
 Super. Ct. No. C161707) 


 The parents of 29-year-old Ernest Frances Scherer III (defendant) were found murdered in their home, bludgeoned and stabbed, their throats slit. After a 55-day jury trial in which more than 90 witnesses testified, defendant was convicted of two special circumstance murders with personal use of a sharp instrument: murder for financial gain and multiple murders. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 190.2, subd. (a)(1) & (a)(3).) He was sentenced to two life terms without possibility of parole. 

------------------------------


On March 18, the detectives did a walk-through of the house with Catherine and a family friend to determine whether anything was missing. Scherer had kept four ceremonial swords in the hall closet, and one of them was gone. Other missing items were a silver napkin ring holder, two statues from the basement office,  and Scherer’s and Abendroth’s cell phones. Beyond those few items, nothing appeared to be missing. A safe in the home was later drilled open and found to be empty
