Episode description

In this episode, we embark on a journey into one of the most chilling incidents in the chronicles of true crime history-the Covina Christmas Massacre. The holiday season is a time of joy, warmth, and celebration. However, on that fateful Christmas Eve in 2008, the picturesque city of Covina, CA, was shattered by a horrifying event that sent shockwaves through the nation. What started as a festive family gathering took a nightmarish turn when Bruce Pardo donned a Santa Suit and massacred an entire family in a matter of minutes. From his seemingly ordinary life to the series of events leading up to that haunting Xmas Eve, we’ll navigate the layers of Pardo’s life, attempting to understand the motives, the triggers, and the aftermath of a plan so meticulously orchestrated yet deeply disturbing. Hello and welcome to Crime & Spirits, a true crime & cocktail podcast. Join your hosts, Bree and Suze, while they delve into real-life mysteries that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
