Summary

Timestamp to skip the intro chat - (8:26)

On Christmas Eve in 2008, Bruce Jeffrey Pardo dressed up in a Santa suit. He also gift-wrapped some weapons. He went to the home of his ex in-laws in Covina, California and opened fire. He killed nine people before taking his own life.

In the final episode of the True Crime Society Podcast for 2024, we discuss the Covina Christmas Massacre.

There has also been a big update in the case of ‘dead’ man Ryan Borgwardt. Ryan has returned to the United States of his own accord and is now facing obstruction charges, as well as possibly having to pay tens of thousands of dollars of restitution.

We will be taking a week off over the holiday season. If you’re missing your True Crime Society fix, be sure to join us on Patreon where we have 60+ exclusive episodes available.
