The Sheriff's Department says 18-year-old Collin McGlaughlin of West Covina and 19-year-old David Smith of Covina were arrested Thursday night at their homes.

The bodies of 18-year-old Christopher Cody Thompson of Apple Valley and 16-year-old Bodhisattva "Bodhi" Sherzer-Potter of Helendale were found January 5th.

Investigators initially thought robbery was the motive but now say nothing was taken from the victims.

McGlauglin and Smith will make their first court appearances on January 22nd. A sheriff's spokeswoman says it's not known if they have retained attorneys.
