SGV's bloodiest massacre*
There's a whole host of news coming from the scene of the San Gabriel Valley's bloodiest massacre Christmas Eve.
Here's what Google News has rounded up.
Here's a whole host of aerospace articles that appear to have been written by the gunman.
Pardo may have been a weather specialist at JPL or a contractor for the Pasadena-based lab.
As for the latest news, staff writer Amanda Baumfeld reports that coroner's investigators have returned to the Knollcrest home to begin sifting for a ninth body.
A press conference at the site is scheduled for noon, Baumfeld said.
Here's photos from the crime scene.
Here's link to our latest story.
*Divorce records seem to indicate that Pardo owed his ex-wife Sylvia $10,000. Apparently he was carrying $10,000 and a plane ticket in his possession at the time of his death.
*Out of concern for raw feelings I've changed the headline of this entry.

Frank,
I think you ought to be more sensitive to the friends and family...the headline, "Santa's Slay Ride Through Covina" is disturbing. I know reporters are all about sensationalism but please remove this title.
Thank you.
The complaint about the headline "Santa's Slay Ride Through Covina" is just one more example of the "shoot the messanger" mentality that exists whenever a bad crime happens.
The headline is not only an extremely good play on words but chillingly apt, for that is exactly what happened. It should have been retained, not ditched.
Instead of expressing distress about a "disturbing" headline the person complaining ought to be expressing outrage at the really "disturbing" issue - the killings.
Headlines don't kill people, guns kill people.
