Reports of ninth body
There are published reports via the Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times that a ninth body was found at the Knollcrest home where Bruce Pardo, 45, dressed as Santa and systematically massacred guests at the home of his former inlaws on Christmas Eve.
Neither story cites a named source, although nine people who attended the party remain unaccounted for, police said.
We haven't been able to confirm those reports through police or the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner.
Also Pardo worked at Northrup Grumman, not JPL, and had been fired several weeks ago.
The Times story has some interesting details about Pardo and the divorce from his wife Sylvia. Including information about a secret child that divided the couple.
