"It's an evil crime, the alleged crime is "just evil."
"Stacie Mendoza was working as a waitress at a restaurant in Hanford, California, when she first met Kenneth Coyle, police say.
Hanford Police Capt. Karl Anderson said in a press conference that Mendoza and the 70-year-old Vietnam War veteran developed a relationship between six to eight months ago. He said Coyle often visited the restaurant that Mendoza worked at, according to The Hanford Sentinel.
Coyle's sister told police that the veteran, who had no children, often visited restaurants in an attempt to make new friends, The Hanford Sentinel reported. But Anderson said Mendoza had no intention of simply developing a relationship.
We believe she was trying to use a friendship with an elderly gentleman that was looking for people to talk to and just visit," he said "and we think she manipulated that relationship to gain his trust an defraud him of money."
Stacie Mendoza and Jose Mendoza, her husband, visited Coyle's house on April 5, police say, and that's when things grew violent. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the couple tied the man to a bed, tortured him for information so they could access his bank account and then killed him through "blunt force trauma and suffocation."
Police say that by April 8, the couple had driven to rural Nadera Country with Coyle's body and their three children in a U-Haul, according to ABC7. The couple is accused of burning his remains in front of their children. . . ."
"It's an evil crime," he said. "They victimized an elderly man that served
our country, that was living in our community hurting no one."
