Covina Christmas Eve Massacre
On December 24, 2008, Bruce Jeffrey Pardo showed up at his ex-in-laws’ home dressed up as Santa Claus and unleashed a reign of terror upon an entire innocent family. What drove him to plan such violence? What happened that night? And how are the survivors doing today? We attempt to piece it all together in this episode (which does not involve Puerto Ricans, but does involve our brothers and sisters from a loving Mexican family). Warning: descriptions of violence.
El 24 de diciembre de 2008, Bruce Jeffrey Pardo se presentó en casa de sus ex suegros disfrazado de Papá Noel y desató un reinado de terror sobre toda una familia inocente. ¿Qué le llevó a planear tal violencia? ¿Qué ocurrió aquella noche? ¿Y cómo se encuentran hoy los supervivientes? Intentamos reconstruirlo todo en este episodio (en el que no participan puertorriqueños, pero sí nuestros hermanos y hermanas de una cariñosa familia mexicana).
Advertencia: descripciones de violencia.
