On further questioning, Monica claimed that Haney wasn't her first victim and told authorities about a place where they would find the remains of a person named Steve aka Stephen Delicino, who is the first known victim of the farmer.
Both of them disappeared while working at the farm in 2012. I do that for my animals and this was the first time I did it for a human being and I knew it was wrong but if it were one of my pigs suffering out there, I would have done the same thing." Two handymen, Stephen Delicino and Robert Haney, went missing from Susan Monicas 20-acre farm, which is located in rural Wimer, Oregon. She told investigators, "He was being eaten, what I believed to be, alive, I put him out of his misery. She claimed about stumbling upon her pigs in a "feeding frenzy," devouring Haney's intestines with his guts "all over the place."

When he lost contact with his family, Jesse, Haney’s son, visited Monica’s farm on January 1, 2014, to inquire about his father's whereabouts and retrieve his belongings.
