Summary

On February 11, 2014, 63-year-old Cynthia Katherine Cdebaca woke up on her birthday and made a decision that would shock Southern California.By the end of the morning, her son-in-law, Geoward Flores Eustaquio—a military reservist, real estate agent, father, and youth rugby coach—would be dead, shot 15 times inside and outside the Fallbrook home they shared. Prosecutors would later argue that after a dispute over her clothing, Cynthia retrieved a revolver she had purchased just two weeks earlier, fired repeatedly, reloaded twice, and continued shooting as Eustaquio struggled to survive.But it wasn't just the killing that captivated the nation.It was what happened afterward.In this episode of Crimes & Consequences, we examine the case of "Killer Granny" Cynthia Cdebaca—a grandmother who believed she was saving her family, a victim whose life became overshadowed by controversy, and a crime so surreal that it continues to divide true-crime audiences more than a decade later.
