Grimaldos's family accused two wardens from Osa who had bullied Grimaldos previously, and they confessed to the crime after being brutally [[torture]]d. In 1918, the accused were sentenced to 18 years in prison for the murder, but they were paroled in 1925. The next year, Grimaldos was discovered to have been living in [[Mira, Spain|Mira]] for the past 16 years, when he surprisingly traveled to Tresjuncos to request his birth certificate.

He disappeared after escaping from the county jail in 1916, where he had been charged with killing his wife with an axe. His dismembered remains, minus his head, were discovered buried in a shallow grave deep in an Idaho cave system in 1979 and 1991. He remained unidentified until the end of 2019. The identification, confirmed by the Clark County Sheriff's Office, was initially made by non-profit volunteer organization DNA Doe Project using [[DNA profiling|genetic fingerprinting]]. Clothes found with the remains matched the description of those Loveless was wearing when he made his escape.</small> |}
