"They (four suspects) did severe trauma to all of the victims. As a matter of fact, one of them was so badly damaged that we've not been able to officially identify her."This was all over some missing items of clothing and an Xbox that he (Troy Victorino) felt belonged to him," Johnson said Sunday.
Three of the suspects have confessed to the murders, Local 6 News confirmed Sunday.
Johnson said all of the men were "active participants" in the murders.
"It just never surprises me, some of the ridiculous things that happen but this was a crime I hope we never see another one like this in my career," Johnson said. This is the worst that I've ever (seen) in my career."
The bodies of the four men and two women were found Friday in different rooms of a three-bedroom home in Deltona, about 25 miles north of Orlando.
The discovery was made after a Burger King co-worker of one of the dead women asked someone to visit the home because she had not arrived for work, officials said. Saturday, the sheriff's office identified the victims as Michelle Ann Nathan, 19; Anthony Vega, 34; Roberto "Tito" Gonzalez, 28, of New York; Francisco Ayo Roman, 30; and Jonathan Gleason, 18.
Authorities had not yet positively identified the sixth victim because her face was unrecognizable.
Sunday, Johnson said the suspects apparently forced entry into the home's front door and began the attack immediately.
"The victims really had no chance," Johnson said. "They had no chance to arm themselves it appears."
No other names have surfaced as possible suspects, Local 6 News reported.
The killing spree in the working-class, bedroom community of more than 70,000 people was the deadliest in Florida since 1990, when a man whose car was repossessed shot eight people to death at a Jacksonville loan office before turning the gun on himself.
