The bodies of a man and boy recovered from Franklin Canal two days apart were identified on 5 November 1945 as father and son. Identification of Domacio Poblano, 38, and his son, Armando, 3 were made by the boy's mother, Mrs. Laurencia Bolivar Poblano, 21, Juarez.
Mrs. Poblano told sheriff's deputies that Poblano had been drinking heavily when he left home with the boy about 6 p.m. last Tuesday [30 October 1945]. That was the last she saw of either until she viewed the boy's body at Hagedon Harding Mortuary on 5 November 1945.
Poblano had been buried in the county cemetery on 3 November 1945. His identification was obtained from his clothing and from fingerprints checked by Border Patrol.
An autopsy performed on 5 November by Dr. W. W. Waite revealed that the boy’s death was caused by drowning. A touch of mystery was added to the case when the autopsy indicated that the youngster had been in the water no more than 48 hours.
Two days earlier, when his father was removed from the canal, it had been determined the body had been in the water about five days. The father's body was found at Mesa Avenue and Eighth Street. That of the son was recovered under the bridge on Collingsworth Road.
