Body snatchers in Mos Carova?

While Tatooine has a reputation as a haven for criminals of all sorts, thieves and murderers prominently among them, such that many claim that any visitor should expect to be killed, robbed, and fed to the local fauna - sometimes not in that order. Most regular visitors state that if one does know how to act around criminal scum - and how to defend oneself - one would not be bothered much by criminals, since most would be rather predictable.

However sometimes there are cases which disprove that, like the still not solved "burning claw murder spree". One of those has happened recently in Mos Carova, when Areta, her sister Rinna'tan and Ikasu Wolf suddenly died. Before the more jaded readers wave this off as the usual fate on a planet populated by pirates, smugglers and giant reptiles who like to dine on sentients, the sudden death in this case was not related to any violence - the three just died. No trace of poison was found either, at least as far as the investigation by the locals - justly afraid it might be catching - went.

The investigation did not go very far though since the bodies were stolen by a man claiming to be Ikasu's brother. From what is known he took the medical professional handling the bodies by surprise and knocked him out, then vanished with all three bodies.
