On December 24, 2008, 45-year-old Bruce Jeffrey Pardo dressed as Santa Claus carrying weapons and a Christmas package, walked up to the home of Joseph and Alicia Ortega where they were having a Christmas Eve party for 25-30 family members. Bruce was determined to massacre all party guests due to his anger from his recent divorce from Joseph and Alicia's daughter, Sylvia Ortega Pardo. After shooting some of the party guests, Bruce used a homemade flamethrower he carried in the package to ignite the home, charring the bodies of his victims. The aftermath of this massacre has not been forgotten by the Ortegas and their family, as it left 13 children orphaned and others without one parent.

We leave out a plate of cookies and milk for a man that's breaking into our home at night, teaching our children that it's okay for a stranger to leave us gifts under a tree. So it's only natural for our children to shout with joy when a jolly man in a red suit carrying gifts knocks on our door. It's the perfect way to ruin a childhood when those gifts are filled with bullets, intended for you. It's time to open those presents that this strange man who broke into your home left, because this is our last episode of Christmas and crime.

In more typical years than what we all experienced in 2020, the holiday seasons mean families are gathering, gifts are exchanged, and for some, it’s the most joyous time of the year. On Christmas Eve of 2008, Joseph “Papa Joe” Ortega and his wife Alicia, were hosting a festive holiday party for their children and grandchildren at their home in Covina, California. When they opened the front door that night, while the party was well underway, to a man wearing a Santa Claus costume and holding a large gift-wrapped package, they had no idea the devastation that would ensue when that man opened fire on the unsuspecting family.

On the night of December 24th, 2008, a large family Christmas party was winding down. It had been another successful holiday party for the Ortega family, but shortly after 11:30 pm a man approached the residence. Once the door was opened, he forced himself in and started opening fire.During the chaos, a call was placed to 911 that identified the shooter as the ex husband of one of the family members. Shortly after that, the house went up in flames and Pardo fled. By the end of the attack, 9 people would be dead at the hands of someone they knew. Bruce Jeffery Pardo had recently divorced his wife Sylvia and the house he attacked belonged to his ex in-laws.By the time law enforcement tracked Pardo down, he was dead. He had killed himself shortly after the attack, but evidence showed suicide wasn't his original plan.Despite the divorce, anyone who knew the couple was taken aback by Pardo's actions. Nothing about Pardo's past suggested that he would commit such an atrocious crime, but it quickly became clear that he had been planning the attack for some time.This week, we will go through the crime, the victims, and the man responsible. Personally, I find this case so disturbing because many of the warning signs you could look for were not there.
