striking her multiple times, all while his dad, her husband David, just watched.
And investigators described this scene as brutal.
I mean, there was blood everywhere, on the walls, on the furniture, on the floors.
And the amount of blood, it painted a picture of an extremely violent and very prolonged attack.
Now, when the police questioned her husband David about it, he claimed that he had been asleep through the entire thing.
However, that explanation, it immediately raised red flags because there is just no way in hell somebody could sleep through that level of violence.
I mean, not with the blood, not with the chaos of the scene, the noises.
I mean, hello, obviously not.
And especially not when her own son, Gabriel, told investigators that David was just watching as it happened.
So I mean, what the heck was really going on inside that house?
And then the investigators learned that this did not stop with just the murder.
Gabriel told the police that after his mom Sylvia died, he and his dad rolled her body up inside a carpet, moved it outside, and then burned it in a fire pit.
He said that they were out there all night long, just continuously feeding wood into the fire to keep it burning.
Later, Sylvia's charred remains were found on the property.
So both Gabriel and David were arrested, and they were charged with first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse.
Gabriel, who is accused of carrying out the actual killing, is being held without bond, while David's bond was set at $250,000.
So this case has since been sent to a grand jury, which means that prosecutors believe that they do have enough evidence for this officially to move forward.
But what makes this case just especially disturbing isn't just the violence.
I mean, obviously that is horrific and like super gnarly, but it's the betrayal at the center of it all.
Her own son doing this to her while her husband watched his father watch.
