Episode 78 - A Christmas Tragedy: The Covina Massacre
Christmas Eve is supposed to be a night full of warmth, family, laughter, and memories… but on December 24th, 2008, one Covina home became the site of one of California’s most heartbreaking holiday tragedies.
In this episode, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee walk you through the story of the Ortega family... a close-knit, generous, beloved family celebrating Christmas like millions of people do every yea and the man who turned their celebration into devastation.
We break down:
• Who Bruce Pardo really was
• How months of planning led to the attack
• The chaos inside the home as the shooting and fire unfolded
• The survivors who fought through flames and gunfire
• The manhunt across Southern California
• Bruce Pardo’s final moments
• A detailed look at the victims, their lives, and their legacy
• How the Covina community came together to heal
• What this tragedy teaches us about family, love, and the fragility of life
This is a heavy episode, but it’s an important one.
And it’s a reminder to appreciate the people you love, especially during the holidays.
