HUGO, Okla. -- A 62-year-old woman is dead and her 57-year-old sister was seriously injured in a double shooting Thursday at a home in Hugo, where the women's 86-year-old stepfather was later arrested.

Police responded at about 11 o’clock Thursday morning to the home of the stepfather of the women, 86-year-old Coy Lee Pate, at Bearden Springs and Roebuck Lane in Hugo.

There, they found Jackie Maye Endemano, 62, dead inside the home from a gunshot wound to the head, and her sister, Debra McKenzie, 57, shot in the shoulder. McKenzie was flown to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.

Endemano and McKenzie were both visiting from California.

Investigators have been on scene all day Thursday in the normally quiet neighborhood.

Police taped off an area outside the home where it appears blood is spattered on the ground. Neighbors say Pate and his wife live in the home and mostly keep to themsleves.

"It’s kind of shocking for this area, for our town. We don't have a whole lot of incidents that happen on this side of town," Hugo Chief of Police Jon Bozeman said.

Hugo police turned the investigation over to Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, who arrested the women's stepfather, 86-year-old Coy Lee Pate, late Thursday afternoon.

Pate was booked into the Choctaw County Jail Thursday night.

Words cannot describe such a tragedy. Mr. & Mrs. Endemano made such a difference in my life. My thoughts and prayers go out to Steve and Nathan!!

I was a good friend of Jackie's. We have been friends for a long time. Jackie never said one unkind word to anyone. Her memorial service had about 1500 people there....alumni from Whittier Christian, present students, faculty, and parents, family, and church friends. It was a beautiful service. We all are grieving for the loss. I loved Jackie and her family. Steve and Jackie had a marriage that all of us admired. If anyone wants to contribute to her student scholarship fund at Whittier Christian High School....just put on your check Whittier Christian High School and in the memo put Jackie Endemano Scholarship Fund and send it to 501 N Beach Blvd, La Habra, CA, 90631. Jackie was all about helping students who could not afford either staying at WCHS or needed funds for their books, etc. I will so miss Jackie but am looking forward to seeing her in Heaven.

I spoke before I should have.I am deeply sorry about what I posted earlier, and am ashamed for it.I want to apologize to the friends and especially the family of Jackie Maye Endemano, it was stupid and heartless, and it doesnt matter that I was thinking of another story and misspoke on this one.I hope evetyone will forgive me, and I was not agreeing with Ashley I was being fecious(sp) and I stepped over the line, and I am truly sick about how it came out.My prayers go out to the family and I am deeply sorry for what I said.Please forgive me.

I think this is a horrible thing that has happened. We should all quit debating over what happened and let the family have some peace. Let the authorities do their job and they will take care of it. Just let this family and the community of Hugo get back to normal and go on with their lives.
Posted by: None on May 7, 2008 at 09:40 AM
Dear who? yes some of us have talked to him. My grandfather has stated what happened so we know as well and there is no speculation. In all honesty though everytime the story is told to someone new it is going to be construed and both sides are going to be telling stories to their benefit. I am honestly still in shock and never would have imagined my grandfather would do this but what has done can not be undone. I just pray that some day he will be forgiven for what has occured. I am not trying to defend his actions at all but he is family and a man I have respected my entire life. I would just really appreciate at this time if people would quit with the attacks of his character and just pray for my Granny Esta's family that they will somehow find peace in knowing Jackie is in heaven were no harm can be done. I wish everyone on here would just stop and pray for both families as this has not been easy on any of us!

for those of you saying you are family of coy, have any of you talked to him while in jail to see what his reasoning is for doing what he did? or are you just guessing? i for one am family with the woman and yes WE have talked to our cousins and aunt esta and we do know KNOW what happened. we are not guessing! no matter if you are family or not the bottom line is that a man has killed one person and injured another and torn apart a whole family. you do the crime you pay the time and if all goes the way things should go-then coy will/should spend the rest of his life in prison! plain and simple killing someone is not going to get you anywhere but jail. if you feel threatened than you call 911. you can't take the law into your own hands. i pray for my family. this is a sad situation and SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED!!!!!
Posted by: Babe Location: Nowhere on May 6, 2008 at 04:31 PM
Coy Did Not do the right thing about shooting people . He had other options , but you would not like it if they were trying to take his wife or loved one.Once again I am family to him.So it kinda seems that I should stand up for him
Posted by: Rob Location: La Mirada, Calif. on May 6, 2008 at 04:17 PM
Dear “Sister“: Just read Debbie’s account in another paper: the stepfather likely saw the girls as threats, yet HAD AGREED to their visit. Mrs. Tate had told her daughter she was getting weaker, & the girls had invited her for a VACATION to CA anytime. This clearly says any trip to the girls would be VOLUNTARY by the wife, so yes, Mr. Tate would be very mistaken if thinking they wanted to TAKE her. With the sisters not hearing him return & not expecting violence, Mr. Tate's repeated shooting definitely LOOKS premeditated. Yes, Dept. of Health Services does well in providing senior home health care(they do for my elderly mom)--but I'm surprised they didn’t remove weapons from the home when providing the home care nurse. I pray God gives the Endemanos His Peace that Passes Understanding & His greatest comfort to all mourning from this horrible tragedy.

First - I am so sorry for all those involved who lost their loved one. I wonder of these ladies, while trying to good, approched this man and his wife in the wrong way - or maybe he took it in a wrong way. As we get older, we don't process as fast of as correctly as we did when we were young. I have that this tragedy took place. I hope that all is aware, now, that home health can come in to help cook and clean, meals can be delivered, there are places to go during the day - I hate to call them a daycare, but I am in a loss for the correct word. There is alot of help for our aging population. I believe that the DHS in both OK & TX is a good place to start, if you are wanting to help someone.

First, there are thousands of drug dealers pushing their poison toward children on a daily basis.Do we send the dealers to prison for their horrific crimes and acts of murder? Not very often. People can say what they want; however, if you were not in his position, how can you possibly know what he felt at that moment? Did the wife ask to be taken to California? It appears that the actions of the daughters borderlines on the edge of kidnapping. I have seen people deserving to be in prison, be allowed to walk the streets with more 'second chances'than anyone else would receive. Apparently, it was his perception that he needed to protect his wife. So stop and think before you act on your own perceptions. Would you allow someone to waltz in and take your spouse away? I seriously doubt it, whether your children or not. Think about it. Yes, he did take a life, but only in defense of his wife. And please, leave the man's military service out of it. Do not disgrace his service in war.

Everyone here needs to stop arguing with each other and pointing fingers. Coy was a wonderful person until May 1, 2008 when he violently murdered his step-daughter. We believe the girls came to Oklahoma in hopes of returning to California with their mother, but she didn't want to go. They weren't going to kidnap her. If she didn't want to go - then she wouldn't go. Coy was worked up into a frenzy over possibly losing his wife, and he murdered a beautiful, wonderful woman. He MUST pay for his actions. Just because he is a WWII vet and a POW and fought for his country and loved his wife - that doesn't give him the right to murder someone. All he had to do was pick up the phone and call the police if he wanted the girls out of his house. I pray for him and his family. Jackie - we miss you and we always will, but we're comforted in knowing you're at home with God. My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Estha, Steve, and Nate, as well as Debbie and her family. God bless you all.

Stop and listen to God's still voice --- what can we learn from this tragic situation? God is still in control - no matter what, how or why it happened. When things don't make sense, we just have to trust ... in Who God is ... and know that He calls everything to work out for good according to His purposes. We hurt, we cry, we remember Jackie as she allowed God's love to sparkle in her eye. She will be deeply missed!

Just to set the facts correct, there were no drugs involved. He was NOT physically threatened or touched by the women. He had invited them into his home to visit their mother, left the room and came back and shot the defensive sisters. I feel for his family cause he hurt them also, but he ended the life of one and damaged the other, in front of the woman he says he loved. They were not trying to force her to leave, they wanted to check on her cause of her failing health. Would you do the same for your mother? No matter what kind of person he was, he is now a murderer - HE DID THE CRIME, NOW PAY THE FINE.

Does anyone know what's going on with Esta, the mother? Is she being taken care of?
Posted by: Anonymous on May 4, 2008 at 12:07 PM
You know, the point that they were shot before even walking in the door, he was lying in wait for them. He didn't even know what their intentions were before he shot them. They were there to visit and observe, not automatically to take the mom away. It simply is murder - no excuses.

An excerpt from www.truthforlife.org May 2 daily devotional written by Alistair Begg... "Consider the epitaph of all those blessed saints who fell asleep before the coming of our Lord! The issue is not how they died-whether of old age or by violent means-but that whatever their diverse experiences, they are united in Him! "These all died in faith." Hebrews 11:13 In faith they lived- it was their comfort, their guide, their motive and support; and in the same spiritual grace they died, ending their life-song in the sweet melody that had followed them through life. They did not die trusting in the flesh or their own attainments; they never wavered from their first way of acceptance with God but held to the way of faith to the end. Faith is as precious to die by as to live by...Look again tonight to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of your faith, and thank Him for giving you like precious faith with souls now in glory." (from C.H.Spurgeon, adapted by Alistair Begg)

There is NO such thing as a justifiable murder. whether coy tate was a good man is besides the point. he still killed one woman and injured another. how some of you can continue to justify it by saying "he was a good man so he had a good reason" is beyond me. and its disgusting. for those of you that continue to accuse the daughters of "barging in and stealing" coy's wife, you need to STOP. you have NO idea if they were only there to simply "check up" on their mom. shes just as much theirs as she is his, and they have the right to see if shes ok. settle down until all the facts are set straight. now, i am an alumni of wchs and had mr endemano as a teacher for 3 of my classes, and he attends my church. i saw mrs endemano repeatedly in the office and spoke with her and she was nothing but sweet. keep praying for all parties involved, they need it now more than ever.

People reading this understand: Jackie would not want any of this going on this board. What she wants is for all of you to know one thing. God forsaw this event. Jackie lived her life understanding the Gospel and it is this: There is only one God (Yahweh, The I AM, The Elohim) and He is the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. This ONE God sent Yeshua (Jesus) to die on a cross for the remission of our sins according to the scriptures (Just as Moses raised up the brass serpent on a staff of wood and all who looked to it were saved from death so we look to Jesus who was raised up on a cross of wood, and all who look to him are saved!) This Jesus was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. Jackie is now with our Lord and Saviour and would want her death to spread that word to all that will listen. Here now and pray to the one true God and lay your life before His Throne, and ask Jesus to be your personal Saviour. God Bless the Endemano family today.

LETS NOT GET SO CAUGHT UP IN THE RIGHT AND WRONG OF THIS MATTER. WE ARE ALL OUTSIDERS WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT HAPPEN. PLEASE IF YOU DONT HAVE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT PLEASE DONT SUBMIT YOUR COMMENTS!!! AS YOU CAN SEE IN PAST COMMENTS JACKIE WAS QUITE THE LADY. GOD PLACED HER AND STEVE @ WCHS TO BE A SHINING BRIGHT LIGHT TO SHOW US HOW GREAT GOD IS. I'VE BEEN AN EMPLOYEE FOR ONLY A FEW YEARS AND YOU CAN TELL THE KIND OF IMPACT THEY MADE IN THE LIFE OF MANY SINCE I'VE BEEN THERE, NOT TO MENTION THE LIVES THEY TOUCH BEFORE MY ARRIVAL... SO LET ENCOURAGE INSTEAD OF TEARING DOWN JACKIE'S CHARACTER, BECAUSE THOSE WHO TRULY KNEW HER ARE FOUNDING IT DIFFICULT TO READ COMMENTS THAT AREN'T TRUE..FOR THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE THE LORD TAKE THE TIME TO READ ISAIAH 55:6-11...LET PREPARE OURSELVES FOR HIS RETURN...THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN THIS WORLD LETS US KNOW THAT THE LORDS RETURN IS NEAR..SO IF YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN YOUR LIFE TO HIM I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SO...JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

Think of a choice that you have made. You have/will reap the consequences although you may be forgiven. Harboring negative emotions towards anyone or a situation will make one weak in mind, body, and spirit. During this time of the lost of Jackie, the injury of her sister, and the grieving of the immediated and extended families, and the hundreds who are concerned, ask for His forgiveness and for His peace that goes beyond our human understanding. Let our attitudes and prayers reach our Heavenly Father and console the families, friends, and acquaintances at this time.

Everything about Mrs. Endemano was just so genuine and sweet. You couldn't look at her without giving back the biggest smile to match hers. She radiated God's love and her glowing spirit will, without a doubt, be with us forever. My sincerest condolences go out to Mr. Endemano and Nathan.

Jackie Endemano was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I am a better person for knowing her. I am especially praying for her mother, who Jackie and her sister must have loved very much to care enough to go back and check on her to make sure she was being cared for in the way she deserved. We are praying for you Steve and Nathan and WCHS Students and Staff. She will be missed!!

Why can't people just post kind sentiments, loving thoughts, prayers for all involved, etc? Why all the judgements? Why all the mean, unfeeling comments? How sad if Steve, Nathan the McKienzie family, the Pate family read these comments. To the people who have wrote kind words, you're awesome, God Bless You. To those who have nothing better to do than bad mouth and make up your own versions of what happened, I feel sorry for you and I will pray for the condition of your hearts. Even during these tragic situations, God is in control. We may never understand "why" this side of heaven and when we get to heaven I don't think it'll matter. Jackie is in heaven, smiling, happy and gazing on the face of Jesus! It's just so sad that she had to go this way. PLEASE STOP JUDGING AND ACCUSING AND POINTING FINGERS! If you must, keep it off the comments and be sensitive to the victims. Loving thoughts are most welcome and a comfort to all. God Bless the families involved. You are all in my prayers.

Jackie was and is my cousin, so is Debbie. I grew up with them all my younger life and love them very much. I am grateful that Debbie should improve and am extremely sad that I will never see the person I always looked up to as a child. Jackie is 5 years older than me and I am 5 months older than Debbie. Our fathers were very close brothers and that helped bring our families together. I told their brother who is in California that she is now with our fathers in heaven fishing to her hearts content. I hope for a fast recovery for Debbie so I can see her soon. Jackie, I will miss you and will see you in the afterlife. I love you Aunt Esta and pray for your healing.

What was the problem? Coy was taking wonderful care of his wife! She wasnt in need of anything. What would it have hurt to let them live a life of harmony! They didnt ask for the daughters to come bargining in. A nice non-threatening visit wouldnt have killed anyone. Last time I checked christian people didnt make others feel threatened. Nor, did they try to split happy couples up. It almost sounds like someone had a life insurance policey on the lady. Hold on California! I dont agree with shooting someone but you also have to protect your family! Kidnapping charges placed on the daughters for taking the wife would have been better! Mrs. Tate could be married to my mother-in-laws husband. Now, he's a real jerk!

Everyone deserves forgiveness and a 2nd chance. yes, even for someone who did something so terrbile. All have sinned and fell short. Quit judging and pray for mercy and forgiveness on behalf of the persom who committed these horrible acts. Forgive, turn the other cheek, DUH!

This is a sad day for all of us that are reading these comments. Why? Because we have been fooled once again by Satan and his deceptive ways. You all are missing the point a women is dead that shouldn't be, a man is in jail, another women in the hospital with a vivid memory, an old women without a husband or daughter, and a man without his wife and son without his mom. Get real people stop the nonsense...it doesn't matter who is wrong or right a life has been taken. Someone tell me why? Why did this have to happen to a family like this? Turn now to Jesus Christ...He is the way to everlasting eternal life...this world is evil. Jesus Loves Coy, Jackie, Debbie, Esta, Steve, Nathan, and YOU! Jackie I look forward to seeing you someday in Heaven. God rest your soul.

The only thing that has made me cry harder than the thought of never seeing Mrs. Endemano again are some of these pathetic comments. Jackie Endemano came as close to perfection as humanly possibly, and I'm sorry, but any man who shoots such a person deserves justice. I don't care if hes a good man. If thats true, then a good man will take responsibility for his actions. Those of you who are defending Coy Tate's intentions, be glad I don't know you personally. Be glad because according to some fool below, its okay to shoot someone if you have a "good reason." That comment just disgusted me... And don't anyone for a SECOND think that him having a good reason was a possibility. Lets pretend for a second, shall we, that Mrs. Endemano was a terrible little sixty year old lady. I mean, she was as evil as a Christian woman can get. So what?! YOU DON'T SHOOT SOMEONE IN THE HEAD! Am I angry? Yes. Am I threatening any of you? No. So don't pee in your pants thinking I'm going to come find you.

I have two step-daughters that I am very fond of. We see them about twice a year. At 86 (in 30 years) I hope they don't think it is THEIR duty to take THEIR dad 1000 miles away. He should not have shot these caring women. I am sure they only wanted the best for their mother. Please pray for all involved.

I, too, was blessed to have Steve as my Bible teacher at WCHS. Steve and Jackie attended my church so I grew up with Jackie's beautiful smile and huge heart. How blessed all of us have been to have had her in our lives. I pray God's peace and healing on all who are grieving this loss. Praise God for her strong faith-as there is NO doubt she is right now sitting at our Father's feet!

Mrs. Endemano will be missed dearly by many. I alway looked forward seeing her. Her joy, her smile, her cheerfulness, her trust in the Lord, and many more good character you just don't see from this world anymore. She was one of the kind and it is very sad that the world lost her. I can't even start to imagine the pain Mr. Endemano and the family is going though. Please take time to pray for them.

Everyone loved Coy! Our community is very upset that this has happened. I cannot even imagine what I would have done in his situation. It probably would have been better to have picked up the phone and called the police. Maybe if he had done this then the daughters would have been in jail for taking someone against their will. This is a tragedy for both sides of the family someone has lost a mother-sister-friend. A mother has lost her daughter! And a loving couple have been seperated! My heart and prayers go out to the community and family.

ALUMNI FROM LA HABRA, The old man was SELFISH for loving his wife and wanting her with him. I guess you think he should kiss her goodbye(maybe for the last time) and send her a 1000 miles away. We do have nursing homes here in Oklahoma where he could visit once or twice a week. I pray for ALL touched by this tragedy. I am sure the lady from California was a wonderful person. This elderly man was not willing to give up the love of his life. Such a sad ending.
Posted by: Bob Location: Fullerton, CA on May 3, 2008 at 12:16 AM
If this 86-year-old man shot Jackie intentionally, then he is a murderer. What simply floors me are the comments of more than one person here trying to defend what he apparently did. Again, if he shot Jackie intentionally, that is what he is now - a murderer. If you live to the age of 86 - and even if you have lived a good life until then - you do NOT get a pass to murder someone because of even the most intense personal disagreement. Even if it involves decisions about the care of your elderly wife. We can all understand that intense emotions would be involved in such a situation, but for ANYONE to say or even imply that he must have had "a good reason" to shoot Jackie, or that he should not be in jail even if he killed her -- such statements boggle the mind. Does it not make sense that people who think like this are the ones most likely to kill someone themselves later on in a similar situation? If this is how you think, you are a danger to society yourself and need to get some help.

These are my 2nd cousins and great aunt. My mother is very close to them. They in no way shape or form went to OK to cause any harm. My aunt Esta loved her daughters. She has been married to Coy for 8 or so years. NO matter what YOU DON'T SHOOT AND KILL ANYONE! PERIOD! This is a terrible situation that has happened. They are great women and are very loved by our/their family. We pray for Debbie to heal soon and pray for jackie to be able to rest in peace. The ONLY people to know the truth about what was happening that day is those that were there and God. Don't judge people you don't know. Quit Assuming things and know that no matter what someone (our cousin) was killed, someone injured, a mother just saw her daughters shot by a man she loved and a man just wrote his next chapter in his life which will probably be prison. Thank you so much for the nice things written about our cousin. My mother is very happy that Jackie has made a special memory in your lives.
Posted by: Steve Location: La Habra, CA on May 3, 2008 at 12:08 AM
This is such a trajic situation. Jackie and Steve have had such a model marriage over the decades based soundly on their Christian faith. Steve (Coach Endemano) was my football coach and Physics teacher at WCHS in the early 80's. And I always thought there was something so special about Jackie and their marriage as she seemed SO supportive of her husband and the players on our team. I'll always have those great memories of her from those years. No doubt that she's truly home now as we all grieve this incredible loss.

I'm not sure why everyone is going back in forth about what happen...The fact is Jackie has been taken from us and all that loved her wasn't able to say thank you for all that she added to our lives...To Steve and Nathan no one truly knows the pain you to are going through...The both of you know will be in our prayer as we ask GOD to give you the strength to overcome this tragedy...Never ever had I met a couple who was so much in love after so many years of marriage...What an inspiration for all those couples who desire to have a marriage/friendship that the both of you model before our eyes...To The WCHS Family lets pull together and support The Endemano Family in the way true believers should support in a time of great need...GOD is still in control and the Devil is still loose on earth...We all know that Jackie is one of GOD beautiful angels HE used to touch the lives of many...We will miss you and will never forget you!!! Thank You Jackie!!! Love Always COACH

Jean, no one was meaning to insult your character, but honestly if you think anyone really wants the drug dealers / criminals to go free you have some evaluation to do. No one should be talking bad on Coy, or anyone. I'm sure he was a great guy. When the facts come down to it when anyone looses someone they love or when someone they love does something 'upsetting' it puts a damper on things, to say the least. It doesn't effect any one until it is you and yours, but it happens every day, multiple times, but it's only posted when it's something ironic, or out of the ordinary. We don't hear about the drug dealers going away because that happens every day too. My love and prayers are with both families and the multitude of friends. I agree with the notion of a follow up and look forward to it. Anyone like how we only get 1000 words letters? a quick text a quick snippet of our opinion. God grant comfort on the greiving. Compassion on those with closed minds.
Posted by: Julianne Location: Norwalk, CA on May 2, 2008 at 06:58 PM
Jean: Why do you think people from California would react differently? Are we somehow emotionally ignorant because of where we live? The fact is that EVERY person will react differently to this type of situation, no matter where they are from. Some will cry, some hold it all in, and some look for someone to blame…The fact of the matter is that it is a terrible situation for ALL involved. He may have been a good man, but that does not mean that he had a good reason to kill someone. He committed a crime, so our laws stipulate that he should be put in jail. Many people look to identify the cause of their pain, and so they place blame as part of their grieving process. Some have blamed a man you know and love, so you imply we are ignorant, and yet you blame a woman that we love and admire, and disparage her character when you didn’t even know her...who is really the ignorant one? Why can’t we all focus on praying for all parties involved instead of casting blame?

If my grandfather or uncle or any family member killed someone because this someone was going to take his wife to a nursing home in another state, that is a tragic, tragic situation. But if I defended his actions and did not think he deserved to be punished, what a greater tragedy in my own heart.

Both my kids attended WCHS where Mr. and Mrs. Endemano work. We knew Jackie as a caring loving Christian woman. She always had a smile and kind word for everyone. Our hearts go out to Steve and Nathaniel. Mr. and Mrs. Endemano have impacted thousands of lives over the years through their work and ministry at Whittier Christian High School. We are all shocked and griving the loss of this great woman. Steve and Nate please know that you are in our prayers.

Hey, Bill in OK, you are like, so right-on dude. You and Ashley have unravelled the California Conspiracy. Our Governor, Arnold Schwartzawhosy,(his father was a Nazi, (but you knew that)), has us send unarmed middle-aged women to Oklahoma to rob their aging parents for drug money so we can smoke marahoochy and surf all day. Kowabunga, what detective work! Obviously, when you and Neal Young go on to Glory, wisdom and insight will vanish from America. dm - Cale4nya.

Mrs. Endomano was a God-loving, sweet, wonderful woman. No one ever thinks that stuff like this can happen to someone they know until it happens. She was always a ray of sunshine when I would walk into her office. For those of you who were friends or family of Mrs. Endomano, I cannot tell you how sorry I am for this sudden loss. She was a woman of God and a lady who, though I didn;t know her very well, will miss dearly. We love you Mrs. Endomano... -Derek

I'm sorry but everyone needs to stop with the comments. I know Coy and Esta Tate. They are very happy and very in love. Coy may have shot esta's daughter, but I'm sure for good reason. Coy is a very loving and caring person. No one knows what truely happened in that house except those who were there. I know for fact that Esta wanted to stay with Coy. I also know that She did not want to go with her daughters and didn't want anything to do with either of them. I hope everyone just keeps all partys involved in their prayers. Please don't think bad things of Coy. He is and always will be a great and wonderful Man. My heart and prayers go to Coy and Esta.Love you both..

For Sanitys: NO I AM NOT ON DRUGS NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN! And, the last time I checked there was no town called Sanityland! This is not California and people react different here. If you have ever been here you would understand that. Coy,must have felt threatened or he would never have done such a thing.

I agree with Dennis. Bill and Ashley are dumb, cold and heartless. I hope people from California don't think everyone from here is like that. I pray that God heals everyone from this terrible tragedy and gives everyone the strength to get through this horrible time. It sounds like everyone lost in this situation. Very sad!
Posted by: Kristen Location: Whittier on May 2, 2008 at 03:50 PM
Mrs. Endemano was the sweetest lady I've ever met in my life. She always had a smile on her face when I saw her in the office. I knew her since I was a freshman and when I heard the news my heart just broke. But I know that she is with God in heaven watching over her family and friends. She will be missed. Love you Mrs. Endemano.
Posted by: Dennis Location: Whittier, CA on May 2, 2008 at 03:46 PM
I echo the comments posted by Jackie's co-worker in La Habra. Bill and Ashley in Oklahoma, you have a heart of stone, it needs to change.
Posted by: J. Location: Whittier Christian HS on May 2, 2008 at 03:12 PM
Those of you who don't know Jackie (the women killed) need to stop talking about her. If you knew her and the loving person she was, you would have tears in your eyes right now because you would feel so bad about the things that have been written about her here. If you knew her, you would understand why THOUSANDS of students, teachers and friends are broken hearted over and will be very sad for a long time. If you knew her you would realize that she was nothing but kind, gentle and compassionate. You would know that she had a loving and caring heart for those around her. She was a rare jewel and you will never find a women who deserves more respect that this women did. So unless you have something respectful to say, don't even bother because nobody who knew here is going to give your comment a second thought.
Posted by: DavidR Location: hugo on May 2, 2008 at 03:00 PM
why is no one concerned that this story can't get basic information such as the suspects last name right? I mean if they can't get that right, what else are they screwing up? It's a simple phone call to the police department for cripes sake.
Posted by: wchs alumni Location: la habra on May 2, 2008 at 03:00 PM
All of you who are speculating that they went there to get the mother out don't know the facts. Maybe they went just to visit and make sure the mom was ok. What we do know for a fact is this man murdered a beautiful woman of God and should rot in jail.
Posted by: co-worker Location: la habra, ca on May 2, 2008 at 02:24 PM
To Bill and anyone else with a neg post. People are grieving and your comments are way out of line! If you don't have a clue about what went on then just don't post instead of making your own assumptions about "California people". There was no stealing involved or a "plan to rob". I work along side Jackie and she was an amazing Christian woman. She will be greatly missed. She and her sister went to visit their mom and yes, they were concerned about the care she was (or wasn't) receiving. I don't know what happened on Thurs morning but I'm guessing that Jackie and Debbie must have wanted to either bring her home or put her in a nursing home. It must have been painfully obvious to them that their mother wasn't being cared for properly. Coy was spreading rumors about them and often tried to turn the mom against her daughters, so get off your high horse and THINK before you post. People are grieving a wonderful lady. She's in heaven now, singing with the angels. I will miss her greatly.
Posted by: billie Location: california on May 2, 2008 at 02:08 PM
There are three absoulutes here: 1. Jackie was a 'angel' and her purpose in life was to show love and care to anyone who crossed her path, which I know for a fact were many, young and old alike! 2. Those involved are all family and only those in the home know what "really happened" 3. there is pain on both sides of this family....Prayer by us "all" would be the best gift we could give them right now, Please don't destroy anyone's character with accusations or spectulation..God wrap your loving arms around our "Dear Jackie"...billie brown
Posted by: None on May 2, 2008 at 02:03 PM
For everyone on here this is my grandfather you are talking about. He is and always be a great man. We are all in shock right now of what has happened. I love my grandparents dearly and I know something must have happened for this to take place. Please stop placing blame. No one knows what really happened except for those parties that were present at the time. My grandfather would have never done something like this for no reason. Please don;t think I am trying to take sides. I feel horrible for my granny Esta's family and my deepest sympathy and prayers are with everyone right now, my family included. Please just pray for the entire family and stop placing blame PLEASE

Jackie Endemano works at Whittier Christian High School where I graduated from in 1983. Her husband Steve was my health teacher and they both serve at the school in administration and athletics. Jackie was a salt of the earth woman. She and her husband had a model relationship that is imprinted in my memory today. This is so tragic. Jackie and her sister were reaching out to their ailing mother when their step father committed this crime. I'm so saddened by this event and pray for the Endemano and extended famlies.
Posted by: Lindsey Location: La Habra on May 2, 2008 at 01:17 PM
I knew Jackie and she is a gentle, loving woman. My own father was very ill and as the children, we had to take care of him. We had to put him in a home, which he didn't want, but there weren't any alternatives due to his condition. The daughters have ultimate responsiblity for taking care of their mom and since they live in California they probably felt the only option was to move her there so they could care for her. It's not the first time that kind of decision has been made. They probably didn't want her to have to move but there probably weren't a lot of options. Lets not judge but instead pray for all involved. After all, some day we may be making the same decisions,no matter what state you live in.

This is a tragedy for everyone involved. I knew Mrs. Endemano to be a strong woman of God, who always had a smile on her face and would take the time to chat with parents who stopped by the school office. My daughter is in her husband's Bible class and she told me that he would always speak so lovingly about his wife. She will be greatly missed. When tragedies like this happen, I don't know what else to do other than to turn to faith and prayer.
Posted by: Kristen Location: WCHS Alumni on May 2, 2008 at 12:35 PM
I highly doubt anyone actually knows exactly what happened except those that were present. Even if the ladies did want to bring their mother to California, that gives no one the right to shoot them. The truth is this - there is a wonderful woman dead, another injured, and a man in jail - and the mother is without all of her family as a result of her husbands decision. Anyone who knew Jackie Endemano is both shocked and saddened by the tragedy that has occurred. She was one of the sweetest women I have ever had the privilege of knowing. My prayers and thoughts are with her personal family as well as her extended family at WCHS.
Posted by: Julianne Location: Norwalk, CA on May 2, 2008 at 11:56 AM
My husband and myself are both WCHS alumni. Mr. Endemano was both my coach and teacher for three years at WCHS, and Mrs. Endemano was always there to support not only her family but every student that attended the school. She always had a smile and a kind word for every person that she met. My heart goes out to Nathan and Mr. Endemano, as well as Coral, whose mom was also injured. If you knew anything at all about this loving family you would know that their involvement in stealing, drugs, or anything else of that nature is just nonsense. My prayers are with the ENTIRE family, including the man who shot Mrs. Endemano and Mrs. McKenzie. This is simply a tragedy for all involved.

i understand if he did not want his wife to go, however there are legal ways to stop this, regardless of how nice he is there is obvoiusly a underlying issue. at 86 one must face the facts how much longer could he actually take care of her. i'm sure it was hard for the daughters to have to go, we see our mothers with vibrance and compassion in which we can never repay. to see her in poor health is difficult on even the most mature heart. all i would want to do is take care of her. now how do you think she feels, daughter dead, another injured & husband arrested. there are many families grieving over this. no one has the right to take a persons life. im sure the girls were not going to shoot him. these families are going to need lots of paryer , even the stepfather, he took the life of a very special person who can never be replaced.
Posted by: Ruth Location: Whittier on May 2, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Mrs. Endemano was a very loving and caring person. She will be greatly missed. Mr. Endemano and his family are in our prayers during this time. I am a former student of his and know that his faith will be a strength to him during this time of need.

This could not have happened to a sweeter, more caring individual. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Endemano family in their time of need.

Posted by: Nicole Location: Irvine on May 2, 2008 at 11:04 AM
for everyone who has posted on here so far.....we all lost something in this situation. A wonderful lady that can never be replaced who is loved and will be missed by many (Im an alumni of WCHS) and a man that made a mistake and is now probably going to have to pay the consequences for his actions. Majority of us do not know the situation personally and for those of you making up stuff about drugs, stealing, and B.S. of that sort need to stop. Let the family grieve and give them the respect that they deserve. Both sides of the families. They will all be in our prayers.

He was protecting Her. She didn't want to go to California. Coy Should not be in Jail. He is a Great man and wonderful Husband. Everyone is Praying for him.

Stealing the mother was not the case at all. Bill, you should get your references correct before you talk about a story you know nothing about. You hope the poor man doesn't go to jail? Your sick for saying that, he committed a horrible crime. Jackie was the nicest lady, she will be missed.
Posted by: Christy Location: Washington on May 2, 2008 at 10:11 AM
This is Very Sad. Coy is a great husband and a great man. He was a POW. His wife is his life. His wife wanted nothing to do with her daughters.because of Coy his wife is still alive. She was/Is his life. Her daughters made it clear they were going to take her from Coy no matter what he or his wife wanted. They wanted to take her to California. I do find this all very sad, but I hope nothing happens to Coy. He reacted to someone taking away his life(wife esta).My prayers are with Coy and his family. Lets all pray that the law can see what a wonderful man Coy is and realize that he should not go to jail. This is not his normal reaction.
Posted by: here Location: gone on May 2, 2008 at 10:00 AM
This sounds like a case of "dont take my love away from me" He is 86 yrs old and he didn't want them to take his wife. Poor old man went insane for a second or two.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Hugo on May 2, 2008 at 09:46 AM
This is a terrible tragedy for both sides of this family. We are all shocked and saddened by what has happened. Drugs were not involved and no one was trying to steal from Coy and his wife. It is a terrible terrible thing that has happened. Its hard for anyone who new Coy to imagine this ever happening, but it has and justice must be served. Jackie was a wonderful and loving person and will be missed by everyone who knew her. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband and son, as well as Debbie and her family.
Posted by: Not Senile Location: Sanityland on May 2, 2008 at 09:24 AM
So if the this man killed your kid, we should let him go because he's "respectful" and old...and then go after drug dealers? Are you high? He shot and killed his own family. I know toddlers with a better sense of logic...
Posted by: brianna Location: California on May 2, 2008 at 08:57 AM
She was an accountant at my school and when the principle received the phone call he heard that the mother of Jackie had been shot also. Apparently that is not true? It's so terribly sad. She was such a sweet, sweet, lady and I can't imagine how her husband is feeling right now. They had been together since high school and were so in love. Keep Steve Endemano in your prayers.

This man was assulted by his two step daughters inside his own home and it is still under investigation. It had nothing to do with drugs what so ever. It did have to do with the younger generation trying to rule the lives of senior's and not letting them live there own lifes. Why does the younger generation think they have the right to tell their parents how to live out their days. Why do the adult children want to become their parents parents. Coy is my uncle my Mothers brother, and this is very upsetting to the whole family and all prayers are appreciated by those who would like to pray for all the lives that have been affected by this tragedy.
Posted by: Jean Location: Hugo on May 1, 2008 at 09:40 PM
The man arrested has always beeen very respectful. What's sad is that in our society we would arrest an 86 year old man but let a drug dealer go free.
Posted by: George Location: Lacey,Wa on May 1, 2008 at 09:32 PM
It Definately wasn't over drugs. Coy is my wife's great uncle, and her grandma's only surviving brother. There are alot of grieving people in our family right now, so I wish that everyone down there would just say a prayer for all parties involved until the case is resolved.
Posted by: Lauren Location: Whittier, California on May 1, 2008 at 09:30 PM
Mrs. Endemano worked at my school, Whittier Christian High School. When the news reached our school, everyone was devastated. Even the people who didn't know her personally stopped in prayer for the Endemano family. Mr. Endemano was supposed to be hosting a track meet today, and he is missed. Everyone knew the couple to be madly in love and the sweet lady who always had a smile on and had a serving heart. We all know that today was the day the Lord has called her home, and we will never forget her and always miss her until the day has come for us all to meet her at home. -Lauren Coats Sophomore at WCHS

Very perseptive of you Ashley.The story said it was the STEP -FATHER ,so yea it probably related or involved with the family.Sounds like the sisters were stealing from him ,or worse trying to hatch a plan to rob him, and he found out. This happens a lot to people from California,sorta sounds like your uncle in laws cause.I hope that poor man doesnt go to jail.
Posted by: Keith Location: Paris on May 1, 2008 at 07:31 PM
The gentleman's wife is in poor health. The daughters were insisting on taking her back to California, she wanted to stay in her home. My heart goes out to them all.
Posted by: Ashley Location: Hugo on May 1, 2008 at 06:52 PM
This case sounds like it could be someone related or involved with the family. People on drugs will do anything. Just like in my uncle in laws cause that was two years ago that was over money for drugs the guy that killed him thought that he had a lot of money and only had not even a dollar
