Speaker 1: from a window. Jennifer Gould has the details.

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Nancy, As you said, the horror began with a single

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: spine chilling glands through a living room window. A witness

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: peering into a home in the twenty one hundred block

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: of South Catherwood Avenue was met with a sight of

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,560

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: gray patterned rug like a piece of garbage. Behind those lines,

00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: authority say Brian Padigo fifty four had unleashed a quote

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: demonic assault on his elderly parents just hours after being

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: released from jail. When Indianapolis Metropolitan Police breached the home,

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: the graphic reality was even worse than witnesses described. Inside

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: that rug lay the battered corpse of eighty one year

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 2: old John Lloyd Padigo. The elderly man had been strangled

23
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: and beaten to a pulp, but in a bizarre and

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: sadistic twist, the killer had poured molten candlewax over his

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: father's face. Nearby, police found a second rug stuffed with

26
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: bloody clothing and inexplicably an artificial tree, while blood and

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: wax were smeared across the floor as evidence of a

28
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: desperate struggle for life. The carnage, though, was not limited

29
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: to the dead. In a recliner just feet away, his

30
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: seventy nine year old wife, Olana Padigo, sat dazed and confused,

35
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,280

37
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,840
