The Covina Christmas Eve Massacre
Morbid
Let's get completely out of any kind of holiday spirit by diving into a senseless and tragic murder of a family on Christmas Eve in 2008. Bruce Jeffrey Pardon was a true piece of human garbage and when he found himself divorced and unemployed, he took it out on those closest to him, in the most horrific way imaginable.
EDIT: I mistakenly referred to Pardo's ex wife as Delilah, when in fact her name is Delia.
