American Red Cross medical director kills girlfriend, infant son and dog in murder-suicide

AOL

An American Red Cross medical director and Air Force vet murdered his girlfriend, infant son and family dog before committing suicide, cops said.

Dr. John Lunetta’s neighbors called police Monday morning to request a welfare check on Lunetta, 40, his wife, Karen Michelle Jackson, 35, and their baby after saying the Las Vegas residence had been eerily quiet over the weekend.  

When police arrived to check in on the family, they found the bodies of the couple, baby and family dog in their home, just two days before their baby boy’s first birthday.

The Metropolitan Police Department said that Lunetta was responsible for the four deaths. Las Vegas Police Lieutenant Dan McGrath said Lunetta “is clearly the suspect,” according to the Las Vegas Journal-Review.

“We don’t know why he did this,” said McGrath.

He said that Lunetta was a registered gun owner and had contacted police before about a recent custody issue, but added that there were no reports of physical violence involved.

Neighbors of the family told KSNV they were stunned by the discovery.

“This is deranged. He must have snapped,” neighbor Denise Bernardo told the local outlet.

Bernardo said she would have laughed if anyone even suggested the Red Cross doctor was capable of murdering his family prior to this horrific event.

Neighbors told the Review Journal that they “never saw the couple fight or argue, but rumors emerged after the bodies were discovered.” People who lived next door said they heard complaints from Jackson’s 10-year-old daughter — who was not present or harmed in the crime — that Lunetta was controlling.

Others said they spotted a moving truck outside of Lunetta’s home and wondered if Jackson was leaving.

According to the New York Post, Jackson posted on Facebook on July 5 that she had just passed a certification exam to become a nurse practitioner. And in her SUV, still parked in the driveway, police found a stack of books next to the baby’s carseat.

  1. The story doesn’t make sense.
    How did he commit the murders? Did he use a gun?
    If he used a gun then why didn’t the neighbors hear the gunshots in all that eerie quiet they are referring to?
    If John and Karen were married then why is Karen listed as Karen Michelle Jackson and not Karen Michelle Jackson Lunetta?

    “Las Vegas Police Lieutenant Dan McGrath said Lunetta “is clearly the suspect,” ”

    ““We don’t know why he did this,” said McGrath.”

    So, there is no motive for Dr. Lunetta to do what they claim he did but he did it anyways, just for sh-ts and giggles?
    Anybody else see the clear contradictions in these two statements or is it just me?

    “Neighbors told the Review Journal that they “never saw the couple fight or argue, but rumors emerged after the bodies were discovered.” People who lived next door said they heard complaints from Jackson’s 10-year-old daughter — who was not present or harmed in the crime — that Lunetta was controlling.”

    Oh ,this one is good. Here we have a quote from apparent unknown neighbors who quite possibly don’t know their own names because the reporter sure as hell doesn’t know them, talking about some “rumors”.
    And how controlling was he? By “controlling”, do they mean that when he told his ten year old to do something, he expected it to be done? What level of control are we talking about? Because I’m pretty sure it’s a parents’ job to control their property.

    “Others said they spotted a moving truck outside of Lunetta’s home and wondered if Jackson was leaving.”

    If this were true, then why didn’t Jackson leave with her stuff that would be in the moving truck? I mean, the whole point of leaving is to leave and not stay, so why would she stay and not leave?
    “Others” said this, so it must be true.

    “According to the New York Post, Jackson posted on Facebook on July 5 that she had just passed a certification exam to become a nurse practitioner. And in her SUV, still parked in the driveway, police found a stack of books next to the baby’s carseat.”

    So, I guess I’m supposed to believe that this is the holy grail of evidence that Jackson was leaving. I know every time I passed a test, I would pack up all my sh-t and move someplace else. Everybody does that. There’s always a constant mass migration of exam takers going on.

    This is a classic case of slipshod writing at worst and a at best, a case of this is what happened because we say so and you should believe it even though no concrete evidence has been offered.

  2. Look at the bright side.
    He could have killed the neighbor’s cat too.

    Yeah. .. I’m twisted. ..
    Plus I’m going cr8z from the heat.

    If any of you dared to laugh…smile. ..giggle or chuckle from that comment.

    You’re just as twisted and fkd up mentally as me.
    [Insert applause track here]
    Thank yu..
    Thank ya very much.

  3. The jerk just can’t blow his own brains out and end it.
    The worst part, he’s got to kill the kid?
    Just shows the psycho SOB never loved the kid.
    Wouldn’t you agree?

  4. I partially agree Bob.

    Bet lets get to the facts.
    1. I was not there.
    2. I can not bear witness that this even happened.
    3. This is 3rd hand or even sixth hand information.
    4. There is a job opening at the Red Cross…and
    5….drum roll plz….
    Flee is a bumbling drunken fool that can’t verify any facts and makes comments on articles on this website. .exclusively.

    1. Notice I didn’t’t mention him shooting the wife.
      Still no excuse. Even if she was threatening him with all kinds of
      nasty litigation and made his life a living hell ,for a long time.
      The most memorable murder suicides for me are the ones where
      The woman gets stabbed 50 times in the face. Then the sister comes on the news and says, ” she was so nice, always happy, never said a angry word to anybody. Happy and carefree, wouldn’t hurt a fly.” ..
      ……….Right……Someone had a different opinion….

  5. “This is deranged. He must have snapped,” neighbor Denise Bernardo told the local outlet.”

    Big Pharma? Being a ‘medical’ director, he had access.

    IF what we’re being told even actually happened (or happened as ‘reported’).

  6. That was very clever.
    Thanks for the banana.

    But me and the rest of my gorilla friends are really pissy today.

    If this keeps up were going to eat our own poo and masturbate in front of children while they’re watching us at the zoo.

    I guess you could call that…

    “Gorilla Terrorism”

    Look..mommy…
    What’s Ivan the gorilla doing with his Anthony Jew Wiener ?

    He’s terrorising us son.

    Let’s go see the elephants now.
    Before he starts eating his own poo and throwing it at us.

  7. Take it ez on me ladies.
    I’m feeling very fragile 2day.
    And yes …
    I have an Irish liver.
    Gotta go…
    The dogs are barking.

    I think its another rogue leprechaun trying to steal my pot of gold.

    1. flee, I sorta figured you had some Irish part in ya.

      Hope things get better for you, and maybe your rat traps will catch those
      leprechauns as well. 🙂
