Two American missionaries shot dead, the other chopped, in Jamaica according to autopsy

Authorities continue to investigate the killing of two American missionaries in Jamaica last month, with no suspect and few clues to work to date. 

Bodies of two American missionaries — 48-year-old Randy Hentzel and 53-year-old Harold Nichols — were found in the Caribbean island of Jamaica. According to local news outlet Jamaica Observer, Hentzel's body was found on April 30 at around 1 p.m, while Nichols' body was found a day after at around 5 p.m. with the help of a search team consisting of search dogs and the police. According to the autopsy report last week, the missionaries died in a violent manner; both bodies received gun shots, while Nichols' was also chopped up.

There were sources claiming that suspects had already been captured, but such were denied by local authorities. 

Last week, the Jamaica Constabulary Force released a statement saying that U.S. authorities have joined the investigation. "Law enforcement officials from the United States of America have now joined local investigators, to assist with the investigations into the circumstances that led to the death of two American citizens who were killed over the weekend in St. Mary," the statement read. 

Nichols and Hentzel were both part of TEAMS for Medical Mission, a mission agency that is based in Pennsylvania. They were last seen on the morning of April 30 renting motorcycles in Ocho Rios, according to reports from the local police in St. Mary. They left and followed a trail in the area of Albion Mountain to check out a site for house construction.

Nichols' wife, Teri, told WKBW, that the missionary loved helping people, stating that her husband helped build houses for the local residents, took people to the hospital and visited them often.
