The Covina massacre occurred on Christmas Eve in Covina, a city in the suburbs of LA. Bruce Pardo, dressed as Santa Clause then killed nine people, including his ex-wife. Then we cover  the disappearance of Kristin Smart. She is presumed to have been abducted, raped and killed at the end of her freshman year of college in 1996. The case went cold, but with new info released just this week... it might be time to shut this cold case for good.
