Looks like Jose was high on it when he killed the couple. He claims Mike and Tina were too.

Valenzuela told investigators he and the couple have been acquainted for the past two years and used methamphetamine together. Sheriff Babeu cautioned that toxicology tests were needed to confirm the allegations.
Authorities said Valenzuela brought meth to the couple's home the day before they went missing, Father's Day. Then they went to Valenzuela's home later that day and Valenzuela brandished a weapon during a fight.
Valenzuela made statements to an investigator that led to a search for the victims on his property. Babeu said Valenzuela borrowed a backhoe from an unsuspecting acquaintance to hide the bodies on his property in Maricopa.
"Instead what he did was he built, not a makeshift grave, but an actual 6-foot grave," Babeu said. "He put these victims in that grave and buried them."
Two bodies were recovered from Valenzuela's property and identified as the couple, authorities said. The grave was not noticeable initially because the suspect had piled other debris and materials on top of it, Babeu added.
