Autopsy Findings Released in Mount Ord Teen Killings Confirm Deaths by Gunfire

The disclosure follows a legal battle over access to medical examiner records.

Overview

  • The medical examiner reported that Pandora Kjolsrud, 18, and Evan Clark, 17, died from gunshot wounds to the head, with Kjolsrud also shot in the upper body.
  • Portions of Kjolsrud’s autopsy were released while other pages remain sealed or under review, and The Arizona Republic says it has not received Clark’s report.
  • ABC15 reported that Clark’s autopsy was released Tuesday and ruled his death a homicide from head wounds.
  • Thomas Brown, 31, is indicted on two counts of first-degree murder, remains jailed on a $2 million cash-only bond, and has pleaded not guilty.
  • Detectives cite Brown’s DNA inside Clark’s SUV and on gloves with Kjolsrud’s blood, witnesses who described his odd behavior, and his outreach to investigators, and they say he acted alone in a random attack.
