Monster Slaughters Entire Family Mom, Dad, 2 Young Sons And Buries Them In The Desert
Nearly four years after vanishing without a trace, the remains of the McStay family were found in the Mojave Desert.
By Joe Dziemianowicz
Joseph McStay and his wife, Summer, and their 4- and 3-year sons, Gianni and Joseph Jr., were a fun-loving, happy family whod recently settled into a comfortable life in Fallbrook, California. Situated in northern San Diego County, the community is known as The Friendly Village. Sadly, disaster would soon strike the tranquil town.
February 4, 2010 began typically enough for the busy family. Joseph, 40, whose business specialized in decorative indoor fountains, spoke with his father, Patrick, and told him he was in a hurry to get to a lunch meeting. Meanwhile, Summer, 43, who was busy doing home spruce-ups, spoke with her sister whod recently had a baby.
It was an ordinary day until 5:47PM. After that, no one heard from them again. All credit card activity stopped. The family vanished.
It was like they went, 'Poof, Josephs mother, Susan Blake, told Killer Motive, hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Troy Roberts and airing Saturdays at 6/5c on Oxygen. You dont know what to think.
Concerned, Josephs younger brother, Michael, went to the house and crawled in through a window on February 13. He found no sign of Michael and his family, but their dogs had been left unattended and there was food rotting in the kitchen. Summers prescription sunglasses were also in the house, just one sign making the possibility the McStays took a trip unlikely.
