The Grandmother Suffered a Stroke and Moved in With Her Daughter, Then There Was Murder
The Cdebaca and Eustaquio tragedy
It was just after 8 am in Fallbrook, California when neighbors of the Eustaquio residence called 911.
Dispatcher: Sheriff’s communications dispatcher number ten. May I help you?
Neighbor 1: Hi, I was in my bathroom doing my hair. And I could hear what sounded like gunshots. I opened my window. And I hear it sounds like someone saying, help me! Help me! Aw, I just heard the shot again.
Dispatcher: 911 emergency.
Neighbor 2: Yes. There were some gunshots fired, about five of them behind my house. And I can hear someone yelling, help me! Oh, another gunshot. Another shot, I hear it. Another one. Three more!
Laura Cdebaca and Geoward Eustaquio got married in 2001.
Geoward was forty years old at the time. He was a real estate agent in Fallbrook, California. Laura was also a real estate agent.
The couple had two children together.
Laura’s mother, Cynthia Cdebaca, moved in with the Eustaquios a few years into their marriage.
Cynthia had suffered a stroke, and hence she couldn’t take care of herself on her own for a while…
