Tucson, Arizona – On May 31st police pulled over Michael Carlson, 53, and informed him that he was driving a stolen vehicle. Michael decided he wasn’t sticking around to find out what was gonna happen next and fled the scene. When his car broke down, Michael then exited and escaped on foot – managing to allude capture. Police then searched the vehicle that Carlson had been driving and found evidence that suggested something extremely violent had happened in that car and determined that the vehicle was in fact a rolling crime scene.
Michael Carlson had been living with Kenneth Alliman and Rebecca Lofton, a couple who let Carlson move in with them at their secluded location because he was running from Texas officials over probation violations. A couple weeks later, the couple were reported missing on June 2 after family had not heard from them in a week – 6 days before the Carlson’s traffic stop. You can see where this is headed, I am sure.
Carlson was finally captured a couple weeks later and when questioned, he admitted to murdering his roommates. Turns out that Michael had killed both his roommates while they sat in his car. He used a sawed-off shotgun to do the work. Then over the course of a few days, he began making attempts to conceal the crime. He tried cleaning his vehicle with bleach and removing some blood soaked carpet. He hid the gun in an RV on the property. But Carlson had a harder time disposing of the couple’s bodies. Over the course of a few days, Michael Carlson began burning the bodies after dousing them with accelerant, and then burying the charred pieces in the front yard fire pit.
Police did discover human remains in the front yard of the property, and are now in the process of confirming that they belong to Alliman and Lofton. The couple’s son shed a bit more light on the confessions, stating “he did do what he did, but drugs affected him. So he didn’t know what happened.” Also, to add a cherry on top, Michael Carlson also confessed to killing his own sister in 2003. Maria Thoma, 51, who was found dead in Cienega Creek. She had died of a gunshot wound.
