If he did, the public doesn't know it. Unfortunately, the case has been cold for years, as I haven't been able to find anything to suggest any recent developments.

I found this - apparently he beat and threatened to chop his girlfriend into pieces (according to her). This led to a standoff and SWAT members shot him in the stomach.

Also, the police had evidence to believe he may have killed those people and his wife to impress a motorcycle gang he was trying to join.

I really have a strong feeling this guy is guilty as sin.

All throughout the story (they had recently aired it) I kept saying "GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY!!"

I thought this was really strange. I mean, it's quite apparent that the victim's husband most likely is the perpetrator of this tragedy, but you could only imagine the circumstances in which lead up to Monica's murder, just exactly how she was murdered and most importantly, how she ended up in itty bitty little pieces of bone fragment.

Exactly. I cannot believe that the police haven't been able to link him to the crimes through DNA or something to that effect.

Default M.Rizzo case

Yeah I think he might be guilty. What was the seizures he was having? And the fact that M. Rizzo went away from her job one day was spooy as hell. A great segment, all in all.

But did they ever found out who was the man who called the Police w/info re: Monica Rizzo's bones? He really did seem to know where the bones were.

How about their son? Was he questionned also?

(I'll check out the above link).

Well, he was arrested later with drugs. The seizures could have been caused by drug use. Or who knows...it could have been an act. It's strange to me that they happened right as the police were knocking at the door, unexpectedly. Maybe they should have ask a Doctor to run tests and figure out if he was really having seizures or if he was faking it.

I don't understand why Rizzo wasn't charged. It isn't like someone broke into his backyard and buried the remains of three people all over the yard in the middle of the night. True, he might not be the killer but he is clearly involved.

How could his neighbors allow him to remain in the community? Can you even imagine living on the same block as someone like that knowing they hadn't been charged?

How many corpse need to be found in your backyard before you're considered guilty. It would be like John Wayne Gacy claiming that he didn't know how those bodies got into his crawl space.

Who else would put her bones in his backyard? What are the odds?

That's what intrigues me about this case is that the murderer or murderers had to have intimate knowledge of the Rizzos and the Rizzo's backyard, which makes me think that it was either Mr. Rizzo who did it, as this thread suggests, or someone who knew the Rizzos.

I find it really hard to believe that Mr. Rizzo didnt know anything about the bones in his backyard especially given there were bones also found in his BBQ grill.

here's an interesting update on this story:

http://www.amarillo.com/stories/0205...0666.001.shtml

apparently, it turns out the bones were only from one body.

If this is the same story I'm thinking about, that is revealed on the commentary of the Bizarre Murders set as well.
