   SAN DIEGO — Residents of the Southcrest property where human remains were   
   found told CBS 8 on Thursday the FBI allowed them to return home after   
   forcing the tenants to leave earlier this week for a multi-day   
   investigation.   
      
   Human remains were found on the property after a search warrant was issued   
   Tuesday. It is unclear if investigators found the remains of one or   
   multiple people. CBS 8 reporters saw where investigators dug several holes   
   in the yard and spent days under the house either in the basement or a   
   crawl space.   
      
   The District Attorney's Office soon named 74-year-old Dwight Rhone as a   
   person of interest connected to the investigation on Wednesday. Rhone is   
   already in jail and is suspected of having committed first-degree murder   
   in 2023. It is unclear how the 2023 homicide case and the human remains   
   are connected outside of Rhone.   
      
   Because the home sits within San Diego city limits, SDPD Cold Case/Missing   
   Persons detectives — alongside the DA — have taken over the investigation   
   into the circumstances surrounding the remains. Detectives are now working   
   with the San Diego County Medical Examiner to identify the remains and   
   determine the cause of death.   
      
   Rhone is not currently charged for any crimes connected to the remains   
   found at the home.

   Murder, torched body on SR-905 in Oct. 2023   
   CBS 8 confirmed through court records and familial connections that Rhone   
   is a former resident of the Newton Ave. house and is a previously   
   convicted felon with a long criminal history, including human smuggling,   
   armed robbery and sodomy.   
      
   Rhone is currently in jail facing murder and attempted robbery charges   
   from a 2023 incident in the South Bay. Rhone is accused of shooting a 54-   
   year-old man before setting him on fire on Interstate 5 near State Route   
   905 in Oct. 2023.   
      
   According to documents obtained by CBS 8, the 2023 altercation between   
   Rhone and the victim started after the men's dogs got into an altercation   
   and the victim, Bernardo Moreno, stabbed Rhone's dog to break up a dog   
   fight. CHP officers found Moreno's burned body with a bullet hole at the   
   back base of his skull on the freeway when they responded to calls of a   
   brush fire on Oct. 18, 2023. Gasoline used as an accelerator was found   
   pooling around Moreno's dead body, documents show.   
      
   Rhone continued to drive Moreno's car around in the weeks following his   
   death and also tried to use his stolen credit cards, but was unsuccessful.   
      
   San Diego Police arrested Rhone on Nov. 6, 2023, during a traffic stop.   
   Rhone had swapped his own handicap plates onto Moreno's truck and was also   
   unlawfully in possession of a firearm. He bailed out days later, but made   
   calls to a friend and said he would "go to death row" for his dog.   
      
   CBS 8 spoke with Moreno's former landlord in Southcrest, who said that he   
   felt sad about Moreno's violent death, adding in Spanish that he could not   
   believe that someone should die on account of a dog.

   When investigators went to the friend's house on Jan. 26, 2024, they   
   learned Rhone had borrowed his gun around the time of the murder and   
   returned it days later with two spent casings in the chamber. Rhone also   
   sent his friend letters from jail and instructed his friend to hide   
   Moreno's truck, which was being stored at the friend's home. Rhone said he   
   "was involved in a certain incident on a felony scale."   
      
   He was taken into federal custody and later was transferred to county   
   jail.

   What we know about Rhone's history   
   Rhone has been previously incarcerated for robberies dating back as far as   
   1969. CBS 8 spoke with his nephew Davail Rhone who said his uncle was in   
   an out of prison over the last several decades.   
      
   While in prison, he sodomized a person and was ordered to register as a   
   sex offender for the act.   
      
   When CBS 8 asked about Rhone's personality, his nephew said his extensive   
   criminal history speaks for itself.   
      
   "You think he even knew what a personality was," he said. "You've seen his   
   rap sheet, right? You've seen his rap sheet, that's his personality."   
      
   Border Patrol assault   
      
   CBS 8 obtained court records from civil, criminal and federal cases   
   against Rohne that detail violence against federal law enforcement   
   agencies and even his own former roommate from the Southcrest home.   
      
   In April 2018, federal charges were filed against Rhone accusing him of   
   assaulting U.S. Border Patrol agents. According to documents obtained by   
   CBS 8, Rhone was a known human smuggler and had been arrested previously   
   by Campo Border Patrol agents for smuggling.   
      
   The assault charge in question stemmed from a March 2018 incident. Rhone   
   was driving along Interstate 8 and was said to have held his middle finger   
   up to the Border Patrol agents driving behind him before slamming on his   
   brakes and slowing to five miles an hour before accelerating to 80 MPH   
   after the agents subsequently slammed on their brakes to avoid hitting   
   him.   
      
   Agents caught up to him and pulled alongside him to see who was inside.   
   That's when Rhone swerved into the agent's lane and forced the agents to   
   swerve onto the shoulder. Agents said they believed Rhone was trying to   
   hide something from them and repeatedly attempted to conduct a traffic   
   stop.   
      
   But Rhone would not pull over until the agents pulled in front of his car   
   and forced him to stop.   
      
   With his dog in the car, Rhone started screaming expletives at the agents   
   and hitting them away as they tried to grab him out of the car. They   
   eventually arrested him for assault on a federal officer, but the charges   
   were reduced to a felony misdemeanor.   
      
   Former roommate's restraining order   
      
   Rhone also had some troubles at the Southcrest home at the epicenter of   
   the investigation. CBS 8 uncovered a restraining order issued against   
   Rhone by his sister-in-law and former roommate back in 2017.   
      
   According to the sister-in-law Ernie Monia, Rhone was bringing people who   
   appeared to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol to the home   
   despite Monia saying they weren't allowed to have company in the home   
   outside of family.   
      
   Monia said Rhone became so angry, he repeatedly hit the doorknob and broke   
   it off.
