What if a Christmas celebration turned into a nightmare of unimaginable horror? Get ready to uncover the chilling tale of the Covina Christmas Massacre, where a family gathering was shattered by the sinister actions of Bruce Pardo, disguised as Santa Claus. Armed with a grim arsenal, Pardo unleashed terror on his own family in Covina, California, transforming a joyful Christmas Eve in 2008 into a night of unspeakable tragedy. Join me, Brandy, as we dissect the harrowing events of that fateful night and seek to understand the twisted motives that drove Pardo to such a heinous crime.
In this gripping episode of Texas Wine and True Crime, we revisit the tragic story of the Ortega family, whose lives were forever changed by Pardo's calculated assault. Through a vivid recounting of the events, we explore the impact of this catastrophe on the surviving family members and the broader community. Our discussion not only captures the terror experienced by the victims but also delves into the relentless pursuit of justice following the massacre. Tune in for a compelling narrative that combines suspense, reflection, and an unyielding quest to make sense of an act that defies comprehension.

So tonight I am actuallysipping on a little
old-fashioned.
All right, friends, it's timeto sip some wine, some whiskey
or water whatever you'redrinking and let's talk some
crime.
So this week we are hopping overto Covina, california, to
discuss the Covina ChristmasMassacre.
Now, this involved the Ortegafamily, who was celebrating the
holiday season on Christmas Eve2008 in Covina, california.
(03:16):
Now there were approximatelyabout 25 people in the home
around 11 pm celebrating whensuddenly there was a knock at
the door.
So an eight-year-old girl hearsthe knock, she opens the door
and there in the doorway shesees Santa Claus.
But this isn't Santa.
(03:37):
This is 45-year-old Bruce Pardo, the girl's uncle.
Now, in one hand, bruce iscarrying a present, but this
isn't a present of goodwill.
This is a handmade flamethrowerthat he plans on using in this
attack.
Now, in the other hand, he iscarrying a pistol.
He is also carrying additionalfirearms on him, along with
(03:59):
$17,000 in cash that is strappedto him underneath his Santa
suit.
So this tells us a few things.
This tells us that he'splanning to run, that he's
planning to flee after this,whatever is about to happen.
So he is, and he's armed withmultiple firearms.
(04:20):
And there are 25 people in thishome.
So as soon as that little girlanswers the door, he immediately
opens fire and shoots her.
So this was his niece.
So his niece opens the door, hefires at her, he hits her, he
walks into the house and opensopen fires on all the other
party goers.
(04:41):
There were several of thevictims that are found with very
close contact wounds.
So he not only was shootingpeople from far away, he was
actually walking up to them andshooting them directly, touch to
touch.
So they police believe that hewas there for a reason.
(05:03):
You show up as Santa onChristmas Eve and you walk into
a house and start assassinatingpeople, All right.
Well, after the scene isabsolutely chaotic, people are
running for their lives tryingto escape the home.
After he is done shooting, hebegins to unwrap the present he
brought, which was a makeshiftflamethrower with liquid that
(05:26):
would detonate and light thehouse on fire.
But there was already flamesgoing on in the home.
So you have the stove going.
I'm sure maybe there was a firein a fireplace.
So because of a fire that wasalready present in the home, the
thing blows up.
So before he's even able tostart the fire himself, the
(05:46):
makeshift piece catches fire.
There was a huge explosion inthe home and the house quickly
went up in flames.
I mean huge explosion.
Very quickly Several peoplewere able to escape the fire,
but unfortunately there weremultiple lives lost.
Perdue was severely injuredduring the explosion, so he had
(06:08):
the piece in his hand, remember,and he was going to be using it
and light his own fire andprobably get it away from
himself somehow.
I mean, he had a plan with this, but he suffered third degree
burns on both of his arms andboth of his legs and we know now
that the heat and burns were sointense that it actually melted
his Santa suit to his skin.
(06:28):
We're going to talk just alittle bit later about what they
found when they were lookingfor Bruce Pardo, and part of
that is that Santa suit.
So they believe he was probablypeeling it off of his skin
trying to get off him.
So they know that he probablywas severely injured on this
(06:49):
attack that he was attemptingand then maybe he would go and
seek help, maybe he was going togo to a hospital.
So they're going to be thinkingabout all these things when
they start going through thehouse.
Pardo was able to leave thescene.
So you have he knocks on thedoor, eight-year old lets him in
.
He immediately shoots her,opens fire, open fire on the
(07:12):
party.
Then the explosion happens.
He's able to get out.
Some people were jumping outwindows from the top floor.
There were people.
It was chaos.
So he was able to leave thescene.
He hopped in his car, starteddriving what we know now to his
brother's house about 40 milesnorth of Covina.
(07:34):
Now, one person, the one personthat was able to really escape
and get to a neighbor's housevery quickly was they called
police.
So police had been on their wayand they knew this was Bruce
Pardo.
So even though the house hadexploded and it took 80
firefighters and an hour and ahalf to put this fire out, so
(07:57):
they couldn't get in for atleast an hour and a half.
So they had to talk toneighbors, they had to start
asking questions and to find outwho did this, and so Bruce
Pardo's name comes up very early, before they really even enter
the house.
So now they've got Bruce Pardoon their radar.
So they start talking to theneighbors and they find out that
(08:19):
one neighbor actually saw Pardowalking on the sidewalk near
the Ortega home and said hi tohim.
So he is talking to this little,this young man.
I would say not little.
He was a young man, maybe inhis, you know, 19, 20, 21.
And he's saying that he wasjust walking by and he knew who
(08:39):
he was and he thought he wasdressing up as Santa because he
knew the family had lived in theneighborhood.
But that was really the onlyperson that had like an
interaction with him, as he'sgoing into the house, so he is
seen, he is identified and nowthey're looking for him.
Well, he is eventually founddeceased at his brother's home.
(09:02):
Now, although his brother didnot know he was actually going
to be heading there.
Now, although his brother didnot know he was actually going
to be heading there, he decidedto end his life and not be held
responsible.
And well, really, was it beingheld responsible for what he had
just done or was it because ofhis injuries, which police
believe probably had a lot to dowith him, to make that decision
(09:24):
?
Because what they end upfinding is that he had a couple
of rental cars.
One was loaded with clothes,with maps, he had a plane ticket
to leave.
I mean, there were things found, there's things found in his
house.
Because of the they found a pipebomb in one of the rental cars
and because of that and becauseof what had just happened at the
(09:47):
home, they wanted to know doesthis guy have anything in his
house?
And we've got to get neighborsout.
So they immediately find outwhere Bruce Pardo was living and
they immediately evacuateneighbors.
So they knew this guy wasdangerous and he had a mission,
but they really didn't know whatthat was and why Bruce Pardo
(10:09):
would have done something likethis.
Also found were those remnantsof that Santa suit I mentioned.
There was hundreds of rounds ofammunition, multiple handguns,
I mean.
This guy was locked and loadedin order to pull this off.
So this was clearly a plannedattack on a family on Christmas
(10:31):
Eve.
But why so?
Once police get in, they'restarting talking to neighbors.
They're starting to pinpoint.
You know who.
This was what the relation tothe family is.
Is he married to someone, whichhe was?
He was actually married toSylvia Ortega Pardo and she is
the daughter of the homeownersof that house in Covina.
(10:53):
So basically, bruce and Sylvia.
The marriage had fallen apart.
They had just finalized theirdivorce one week before this
crime on Sylvia Pardo.
But after getting married in2006, she realized that she had
really chosen the wrong guy.
She chose the wrong man.
(11:14):
She wanted to divorce him.
She told friends and familythat he was distant, he was cold
, he kind of acted a littlestrange.
It made her uncomfortable.
Acted a little strange.
It made her uncomfortable.
There is also speculation thatpart of her filing for divorce
was that she found out about achild Bruce had but never
disclosed to her.
Now I don't even think orbelieve that he was actually a
(11:39):
part of this child's life.
I mean we know how this isright, like maybe he did have
something to do with the childearly on.
Mean we know how this is right,like maybe he did have
something to do with the childearly on and then he meets
another woman and then hedoesn't you know, he doesn't
want to pay child supportbecause I don't know, I don't
really know much about where themother of the child was living
and all of that.
But she ends up finding thisout.
(12:00):
He didn't disclose any of it toher, whether he was involved or
not involved in the child'slife.
He wasn't disclosing any ofthis to her.
So people believe that maybethat was part of why she had
decided to end the marriage.
Now Bruce was ordered by a courtto pay Sylvia, his ex,
approximately $1,700 a month inalimony and $10,000 in back pay.
(12:24):
Now because she had childrenfrom previous relationships and
the couple shared no kidstogether.
He basically tells the courtwhy should I have to pay for her
lifestyle at her parents' house?
She's living at her parents'house.
He tells the court.
She had bought a very nice car,she gambles, she takes trips,
(12:48):
she lives the high life.
And he says I can't afford this.
He was unemployed at the time ofthis.
He had lost his job as anelectrical engineer.
He was broke, but he had$17,000 in cash strapped to him.
So you owe her 10 in back pay,$1,700 a month, I don't know.
(13:09):
I mean, we're talking aboutsomeone who went in and shot an
eight-year-old and then shot thewhole place up and then lit it
on fire.
So the intention and motive inhis mindset is psychopathic.
So it seems a little hard tosay that it's easy just to pay
(13:30):
her.
Just pay her the 10 grand.
You have 17 on.
You Pay her the 10.
Okay, $1,700 a month, like nowyou've got to go find a job.
But instead he thought it wasbetter just to shoot up her
entire family.
And then, unfortunately, he wasburned and took his own self
out.
So, like I said, he had beenfired from his job as an
(13:51):
electrical engineer, he wasbroke.
He just was very upset that hehad to pay her what he had to
pay her and he didn't think thatshe deserved it.
Nine people were killed in thisattack.
Sylvia Ortega Pardo 43.
This was Bruce Pardo's ex wife,alicia Ortega, 70,.
(14:12):
Sylvia Pardo's mother, josephOrtega, 80,.
Sylvia Pardo's father, charlesOrtega, 49,.
Sylvia Pardo's brother, cherieOrtega, 45,.
Charles Ortega's wife, cherieOrtega, 45,.
Charles Ortega's wife JamesOrtega, 51,.
Sylvia Pardo's brother, teresaOrtega, 52,.
(14:35):
James Ortega's wife, aliciaOrtega Ortiz, 46,.
Sylvia Pardo's sister, michaelOrtiz, 17.
The damaged bodies the victims,were unrecognizable because of
the flames.
They had to be identified bymedical records and dental
records, and then they realizedthat most had suffered gunshot
wounds before the fire wasactually set.
(14:58):
But this is because a courtordered him to do something he
wasn't willing to do and insteadkilling family members on
Christmas Eve.
Until next time, friends, staysafe, have fun and we'll see you
more in 2025.
