Police in Missouri are turning to the public — as well as the cloud — for assistance as they continue to investigate the killings of two South American research scientists who were found dead Saturday inside their scorched Kansas City apartment. (Read More Here).
In a press release issued late Tuesday, the Kansas City authorities handling the investigation into the killings of predoctoral researchers Camila Behrensen and Pablo Guzmán Palma asked that midtown residents who live along Oak Street and have home video surveillance systems, to call them.
The bodies of Behrensen, 24, of Buenos Aires and Guzmán Palma, 25, of Santiago, Chile, were recovered by firefighters from inside a burned midtown apartment on Saturday.
Behrensen and Guzmán Palma were both predoctoral researchers and members of the 2020 predoctoral research class at Stowers Institute for Medical Research.
Tuesday’s press release includes a detailed map of “the specific area our detectives are interested in,” which encompasses Oak Street from East 41st Street to East 43rd Street, between McGee Street to Gillham Road.
Two South American students and researchers have been identified as homicide victims at the site of a Kansas City fire early.
Camila Behrensen, 24, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Pablo Guzman Palma, 25, from Santiago, Chile, died in an apartment near 41st and Oak streets in Kansas City.
Both Behrensen and Guzman-Palma were pre-doctoral graduate students at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City.
After Kansas City firefighters were called to the apartment complex around 5 a.m. on Saturday, Kansas City police were called to the apartment to investigate a double homicide.
Raul Gonzales was awakened Saturday morning by alarm sounds and then firefighters told him there was a fire in his building right across the hall from him.
“It’s pretty crazy stuff, I’ve definitely never been so close to something like this occurring, and you know it’s just a sad situation all around,” he said.
Gonzales said he knew his neighbors as Spanish speakers who liked to entertain friends at their apartment.
“I just saw them hanging out, nothing really much beside that. They’d sit on their deck and talk on the phone. I would get their mail in my mailbox on occasion, but besides that, they were just normal,” he said.
