Trying to be fair here and many investigations we see take about a year before all evidence is in etc. but this one is getting long in the tooth now and there has never been a single indication of much of anything other than Bakersfield updating it seems only when asked and then it is just how many warrants, tips they have followed, etc.Where are the boys?

It has been 14 months since Orrin and Orson West were reported missing from California City and still there are no answers to where the boys could be.
The biological family organizes monthly ‘community prayers’ as a way of keeping the names of the boys in the limelight and preventing their case from going cold with hopes of finding them once again.

In a shocking development, Trezell West, the adoptive father of the missing California City boys, Orrin and Orson West, was charged with murder on Tuesday.

Thank goodness!! I mean I was ecstatic to hear he was arrested but over the moon to hear they both are. She clearly knew and/or was part of this. Now I'm wondering what changed if anything, I mean did they just decide it was time or is there some new and recent evidence discovered. I somehow doubt they confessed or anything like that. We can hope they will now tell where the boys are but I wouldn't count on that either with these two.
I don't know what I think of that. It could just be that he was staying on until he felt that case was resolved and he knew of the impending arrest before we did or that they were close and just putting the final touches on the investigation paperwork and any "assistance" or info from him needed was at an end...?

Wow! These two had it planned for a very long time! I wonder if that was the sole reason they moved to California City?2 California brothers died 3 months before adoptive parents reported them missing, DA says

Speaking at a news conference, DA Cynthia Zimmer said an investigation confirmed the deaths of Orrin West, 4, and his brother Orson, 3.
The DA said that they were able to prove that to a grand jury that the boys were murdered and they accomplished that through a combination of direct and circumstantial evidence and the grand jury was convinced that they were dead.
A grand jury... Three months before.... That's what many (self included) thought. This case got way out there some in the online world but people put the basic information together accurately and along with instinct and the couple's interview on camera and more, the public had it right...2 California brothers died 3 months before adoptive parents reported them missing, DA says

I have to read up a bit later and can't remember the exact dates but most thought they were never in Cali City. They weren't in that home long, I recall that... I have November in my head for some reason but it may have been a bit longer that that...
They moved to Cal City in September 2020 (exact date unknown). Reported missing December 2020.

That fits. I knew they were not there that summer. I get the November thing but would have to look back as talk about they thought they had the house but then something wasn't working out or more money down, financing, etc. I don't think (and I don't) most believe through the year plus of this case that those boys were ever in Cali City. And the move was likely part of an overall plan... If they were ever there it was but for a moment imo... I don't think they were has always been my leaning...They moved to Cal City in September 2020 (exact date unknown). Reported missing December 2020.
So, they were killed VERY close to the time the family moved.
Another reporter asked if, due to that three-month timeline, Orrin West and Orson West were ever in California City in the first place. The DA did not answer but said that was a “good question.”California Boys, Ages 3 and 4, Died 'Three Months Before' Adoptive Parents Reported Them Missing: DA
"The search for the boys began after the real tragedy had already occurred," Bakersfield Police Chief Greg Terry said on Wednesday.
