Joseph Gerdvil, a 41-year-old man from Southern California, has been accused of a horrific and unthinkable crime - he is believed to have killed and decapitated both of his parents and their beloved pet dog. The shocking incident took place at a mobile home community in San Juan Capistrano on a Tuesday morning, sending shockwaves throughout the neighborhood.
It all started with a domestic incident, as reported by the local news station KTLA 5. Police were called to the site at 7:30am after receiving a distressing call from a concerned citizen. Upon arriving at the scene, they were met with a gruesome sight - the bodies of Antoinette Gerdvil, 79, and her husband Ronald Gerdvil, 77, along with their dog, all decapitated. It was a truly horrific scene that left the officers shaken.
As they were processing the crime scene, the officers received reports of a bloody and disoriented man chasing after a maintenance worker on the premises. It was later discovered that this man was Joseph Gerdvil, the couple's own son. In a state of panic, he had stolen the maintenance worker's golf cart and fled the scene, covered in blood.
Fortunately, the police were able to locate Joseph near a bike trail exit and he was quickly apprehended. However, he did not surrender easily and the officers were forced to use force, ultimately shooting him. He was then taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
In a statement, the Orange County Sheriff's Department confirmed that Joseph Gerdvil will be charged with two counts of homicide once he is medically cleared. However, they also mentioned the possibility of additional charges as the investigation continues. It is clear that Joseph's actions have caused immense grief and pain for his family and the entire community.
Neighbors of the Gerdvil family were shocked and saddened by the tragic turn of events. David Desmond, a resident of the mobile home community, revealed that he had witnessed Joseph having a heated argument with his father the day before the incident. Another neighbor, Bob Demario, claimed that Joseph had a history of drug abuse and that his parents had been looking after him.
The devastating loss of Antoinette and Ronald Gerdvil, who were described as a sweet and loving couple, has left the neighborhood in mourning. As Victoria Alford, another neighbor, expressed, it is truly tragic for a son to commit such a heinous act against his own parents. The investigation into this horrific crime is ongoing, and the community is left wondering what could have driven Joseph to commit such an unthinkable act.
