ORANGE, Calif. (AP) — An electrical contractor who was having financial problems shot to death his live-in girlfriend and 3 1/2-year-old son before killing himself, police said Wednesday.
Officers called to an apartment Tuesday afternoon found the bodies of Craig Rubin, 44, and Mary Striley, 42, on beds in separate bedrooms while the body of their son, Jake, was in a high chair in the kitchen, Sgt. Dan Adams said.
Each had been shot once in the head.
Police were called by the apartment manager, who had not seen the family in several days. The manager said the couple had not moved their cars or answered their phone for days, police said.
Adams said Rubin left a suicide note in which he took responsibility for killing his family.
The motive for the killings was under investigation, but Rubin had financial problems and both his girlfriend and son had health problems, Adams said. He had no details about those problems.
A work van labeled Rubin Electric was parked outside the apartment.
Rubin and Striley had lived together for four or five years, Adams said.
Orange is in central Orange County about 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
Thanks for this blog. I knew Mary for many years (since the mid-1980s) and there is absolutely nothing that she could have done to provoke this attack.
ReplyDeleteShe had MS, and was diagnosed around the time that she met Craig (around 2004). She met him online. I remember when she first told me about him. I remember him to be needy and always wanting her to tell him what decisions to make. I'll never forget the time that she and I went to Disneyland together... he was calling her constantly. She was educated and intelligent.. she deserved way better than this.
She had also just gotten disability (another reason I dont think the reasons were financial... at least not for HER) and her brother had stated in another interview that she was begging to come and live with him. I think that she was trying to leave Craig and take Jake with her. She had the support of permanent disability. He could barely find work.
