TL;DR Summary

Trezell and Jacqueline West, the adoptive parents of two young boys reported missing in 2020, have been found guilty of second-degree murder and other crimes, including child cruelty, but the bodies of Orrin, 4, and Orson, 3, have not been found. The Wests were also convicted of falsely reporting an emergency. The couple was abusive to the adopted children, and Orrin died in September 2020. They then came up with a plan to kill Orson and dispose of the bodies, according to prosecutors. The Wests' eldest child testified he saw Orrin dead and his parents told him if he said anything, he and the other children would be taken away. The Wests will be sentenced on July 13.
