Long Beach auto restorer dead by suicide.
I hate to see things like this:
UPDATED: Man's death at El Dorado Park possible murder-suicide - Press-Telegram He was an aircooled guy. Seems like this guy had it all. His wife from their web page:  The little girl was dropped off at a relative's house beforehand. His website. From what I can figure out, he was working out of his house mainly. Very sad. |

I hate to be nosy, but I looked at his house on street view. He lived on a lot that was huge and backed up to the 405. He had like 4 buildings and a motorhome pad. With the background noise of the freeway, he could have gotten away with anything. Except..................... Long Beach can be hard on home businesses, especially those that are automotive based. He may have been caught and shut down. He may have had no business because of the economy. Realistic unemployment here is 18%. However, he would have had a wider geographic pull and that would have included areas much better off. The rest of the story will come out eventually. His and hers bio's were awesome. These were very well educated and established folks. Edit: I spent a little more time and found that his main home business was Internet retailing of parts and artsy stuff. So, my above comments may be somewhat off base. He did have an active business licence at his home address. Last edited by milt; 08-17-2010 at 03:06 PM.. |

Wow! I can't undertand what could have been so bad in his life...A permanent solution to a temporary problem... I've meet them both a few times and they seemed real happy. I just saw them in June at the VW Classic in Irvine. So sad.......

This just in: my wife reports the mom and daughter were at the my grandkids' (yes, 2 at once) birthday party last month. So, she may have met them, I didn't go.
That puts Mark's comments into some perspective. Not some folks across the country. TheSamba has a discussion going, he was pretty well known in SoCal. It is a sad deal. |

Something is not right here. There must be more to this story than a murder suicide.
I can't help but feel the Police don't have all of the facts yet. It's very sad but I really believe there's a lot more to this story. Is it possible someone else was involved?
