The bodies of Picon and Arana, both 21, were found Feb. 4 inside a red Toyota Corolla in a lake near Southwest 268th Street and Southwest 107th Avenue. The discovery was made after one of their cellphone signals led police to the lake.
Picon and Arana met for a drink after work the weekend before and never returned home.
It appeared that the car crashed through a guardrail before ending up in the water. The crash site wasn't far from Arana's home.
