Michael Royce Sparks, 62, was arrested on suspicion of murder by Redlands police on Aug. 29, 2024, in the deaths of Dan Menard, 79, and his wife, Stephanie Menard, 73. “We believe that they are deceased,” Carl Baker, a Police Department spokesman, said Friday morning. “We believe the couple is there on the site.”
Baker declined to say why police believe the bodies of Dan Menard, 79, and his wife, Stephanie Menard, 73, are in the home of Michael Royce Sparks. Dan Menard, 78 and his wife Stephanie Menard, 73, were last seen at their mobile home on the 26000 block of Keissel Road around 10 a.m. on Aug. 24. Police were searching a Redlands nudist resort, Olive Dell Ranch, on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 29, 2024, for a person of interest tied to the disappearance of a couple who went missing over the weekend. At one point, police used a battering ram on a home for which they had a search warrant.
The couple were last seen at their mobile home on the 26000 block of Keissel Road around 10 a.m. Saturday. The next day, a friend who often went to church with them reported them missing, Brian Cleland, a co-owner of Olive Dell Ranch has said.
