Delecino disappeared some time in 2012 under mysterious circumstances. The following year, Robert Haney, a 56-year-old handyman, also disappeared in September 2013. Investigation Īuthorities arrived at Monica's residence on January 10, 2014, after it was discovered she had been using Haney's food stamps card, and confronted her with fraud charges. Upon searching her residence, they discovered evidence of human remains, which prompted a full search of the property. Portions of remains from a total of two individuals were discovered the first belonged to 56-year-old Robert Haney, Monica's handyman, who had gone missing in September 2013. The second individual initially was unidentified, but was later determined to be Delecino, a former employee of Monica's who had gone missing in 2012. The state of Monica's property was squalid, with significant piles of garbage, animal bones, and no running water or sewage system. Investigators spent three weeks searching Monica's 20-acre (8.1 ha) farm near Rogue River, digging over 50 holes in the land searching for additional evidence and other potential victims. No additional remains were uncovered in their search. The pigs Monica kept on the farm were subsequently euthanized, and a former resident claimed he had witnessed Monica feed deceased house pets and livestock to the pigs on different occasions. Upon interviewing Monica, detectives found she gave varying explanations as to how both men died, claiming both that Delicino had shot himself repeatedly in the head in 2012, and that she had also shot him in self-defense, after which her pigs began to eat portions of his body. Monica claimed to have buried the remnants of his corpse after finding the pigs consuming him. In regard to Haney, Monica claimed he had disappeared from the farm in the summer of 2013. She stated she later came upon him as his pigs were disemboweling him, and that she shot him to death to ease his suffering. Monica subsequently expressed uncertainty over whether Haney was dead when she shot him. Some of Haney's remains were found in plastic bags in Monica's barn. ĭuring her video-taped interrogation, which was later used in the trial, Monica stated: "I do not value human life very much. If not for us, all the other animals, even dodo birds, would be here." Trial and conviction My feeling is the only thing wrong with the planet is there's people on it. Monica pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, abuse of a corpse, and identity theft. Monica, despite having representation, chose to cross-examine Eric Henderson, the case's lead investigator. During the trial, an Oregon State Police anthropologist testified that Haney's legs had been dismembered with an ax, and that his thigh bones showed signs of "being gnawed on by an animal." The anthropologist stated it was unclear whether Haney had been dead prior to dismemberment of his legs. Another witness who had been in jail with Monica testified that she had received a birthday card from her signed "from the sweetest murderer in Jackson County." It was also stated by the anthropologist that Delicino had suffered three to four gunshot wounds to the head. ![]() On April 21, 2015, Monica was convicted on all counts after six days of testimony and only one hour of jury deliberations.
