12 - The Covina Christmas Eve Massacre

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We hope you all have a wonderful celebration and are ready to bring in 2022! This week’s case is about a Christmas Eve Massacre that occurred in Covina, California. A family Christmas party ends with a visit from Santa Claus, however the man in the red suit only brought terror. By the end, there were 9 victims and a home in flames. The intent behind the massacre is heartbreaking and this story is a heavy one, so please take care of yourselves and enjoy the time with your friends and families this holiday season!
