Overview
- Eric Cordes, 63, and his wife, Vicki, 66, were found with multiple gunshot wounds inside the open garage of their Simi Valley home on Sunday.
- The San Bernardino County Medical Examiner identified the body found in the burned car as 37-year-old Keith Cordes of Kentucky and ruled his death a self-inflicted gunshot.
- Police say license-plate readers tracked a black Honda Civic from the crime scene to Chino near Ayala Park, where the vehicle was set on fire.
- Detectives recovered a handgun at the Chino scene that they believe is the same weapon used in the killings, with forensic testing still pending.
- Investigators have not determined a motive, and Adventist Health Simi Valley said Dr. Cordes, a longtime radiologist, was a highly respected and beloved colleague.
