CHICAGO (CBS) -- After they allegedly murdered two young men, two of the four suspects involved in the savage and bizarre attack decided to have sex on top of the corpses, according to a published report.

The Joliet Patch, citing police documents, reports Joshua Miner told investigators that his girlfriend, Alisa Massaro, once told him that she fantasized about having sex with a dead person.

So, according to the police reports, that's how Miner got the bizarre idea to engage in sex on top of the two men they had just allegedly killed.

The Patch reports Massaro at first resisted the request. However, they then placed something--perhaps a sheet or a blanket--on top of the bodies and had sex.

Adam Landerman, 19, Massaro, 18, Bethany McKee, 18, and Miner, 24, have been accused of luring Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover, both 22, to Massaro's home, then robbing and killing both victims. The suspects also allegedly tried to dismember Rankins' and Glover's bodies and then continued to party together.

CBS 2's Marissa Bailey reported at the time that the suspects and victims appeared to be friends.

Joliet Police Chief Michael Trafton said the four suspects were not tested for drugs or alcohol when they were arrested.

Landerman is the son of a Joliet police sergeant.

County records showed Massaro has a restraining order against Miner, who has an extensive criminal record – including a pending child pornography charge.

Trafton said he's never seen such a disturbing crime scene in his 27 years on the job.

After attempting to dismember the bodies the suspects "continued the party atmosphere," Trafton said at the time of the arrests in January.

"This is one of the most brutal, heinous and upsetting things I've ever seen in my 27 years of law enforcement," Trafton said at the time. "Not only the crime scene, but the disregard for common decency toward human beings."

Police were notified about two dead bodies at the house, and officers noticed movement inside the house so they went in, Trafton said.

He said Landerman, Massaro and Miner were playing video games and were "very much surprised" when the police arrived. McKee had left before police arrived but was picked up by authorities in Kankakee, police said.
