The photo of Alicia and Jose Ortega comes from the Mexican newspaper, “El Siglo de Torreon” which profiled the couple on their 50th wedding anniversary.
The couple and seven other members of their family are missing and presumed dead following a Christmas Eve massacre at their home on Knollcrest Drive in Covina.
Here’s some of El Siglo’s report (Translation by Google):
The family was killed by a man dressed as Santa Claus in Los Angeles have roots in Torreon, as owners of the house where the massacre occurred was a marriage from the city, in-laws of the murderer, Bruce Jeffrey Pardo.
Although I did not know the family personally, I was touched because I live a couple of miles away. I stopped to place flowers and pay my respect to these innocent people.
