81-year-old and 44-year-old found dead at Reedley home identified
REEDLEY, Calif. (KFSN) -- Two people found dead at a home in Reedley over the weekend have been identified as 81-year-old Billy Bonds and 44-year-old Guadalupe Bonds.
Reedley Police Chief Joe Garza said the third person has yet to be identified.
Police discovered the three bodies at a home on Church and Curtis Avenues on Saturday.
Law enforcement responded to the property after a family member told police they found evidence a burglary had occurred.
During the investigation, officers found signs of foul play.
As the investigation continues, Guadalupe's mother, Olga Chavez, is sharing the heartbreak of losing her daughter, who she fondly called Kiki.
"She's Guadalupe Bond, but she's my Kiki. My Kiki, who does favors for everybody," said Olga. "All the favors she would do to make people happy. She will not come home until she makes somebody else happy."
Olga describes her daughter, also known as Lupe, as a caring, loving, and joyful person.
Lupe lived at the home where she died for over 20 years.
"She (will) always be in my heart because she's so close to me. Right now, what I'm going through it hurts, hurts a lot," Olga explained.
Loved ones say Lupe volunteered at a church and had just joined the local Lions Club chapter.
She had no children, but family members told Action News her cat and rabbit were her babies.
Now, the family is struggling to make sense of Lupe's death.
"All we ask for his answers? Why, how can a person do this to a person that gives to the community?" asked Martin Vasquez, Lupe's uncle.
On Monday, caution tape could still be seen in the front of the house.
Family members showed Action News a large hole in the backyard where both Lupe and Billy were found.
In a press conference on Monday afternoon, police said a gun was involved in the crime, and a safe that had guns in it was found open with nothing inside.
At this point, there are no suspects.
A fourth person living at the home, Matthew Bonds, has been missing since the crime was reported.
Family members say he was Lupe's husband of 25 years.
" Matthew, if you are watching this, we ask you to come forward because you might have some insight as to what occurred at that residence," said Reedley Police Chief Joe Garza during the press conference.
Lupe's family gave police possible ideas of where Bonds could be, but he was not found.
Authorities are still investigating the incident as a case of murder and burglary.
More information is expected to be released later this week.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help Lupe's family.
