Son's Slaying Clouds Future for Mother (SB Sun 06302006) She wants to leave Rialto Home for Good!!

They got the girl friend for the slaying of her Ex-boyfriend, I guess His Mother Lived in the house with him, or it was her house and he was staying there after the break off with the girl. she stormed up and thought that she could not have him then no one could, and blasted him in the tummy with a shot gun. The blood bath was, as you could Imagine Terrible, and his mother cannot live there any more. There is to many memories of her son, of the home and just to many good times to have to cloud the bad memory that he will be gone for ever because of a split decision that was made by the suspect to just come out and blast him. I know and you know hat there is always a better way to Resolve the ending of a relationship.

There is just to much of a cleaning for the Police Department and the city to have to clean the Crime Scene of all Murder's. Besides there might be some critical murders where they need to gain access to the scene with the Judge, and Juror's . I am not saying this case that it will happen with this case, but wow. You can wonder. This case seems pretty open and cut, she wanted to be added to his checking account, and he didn't want to be added to the account.

I am happy that they caught this girl and she is behind the crowbar hotel, she needs to be!! to just kill a man like that in front of his elderly mother is not right!! I might have an elderly mother like that and to have your woman come over and Kill you just talkie that..sucks you know..

I feel for the Mother, and My prayers go out to her, and the rest of the Victims Family!!

Son's slaying clouds future for mother She wants to leave Rialto home for good Robert Rogers, Staff Writer

RIALTO - Beverly Ribaudo is not only mourning the moment - she is dreading the future. The 60-year-old Rialto resident and mother can't stay another day in her quaint, well-decorated home, where her son was killed less than a week ago. The doors, floors and walls are smeared with the black stains investigators left when they lifted fingerprints. A throw rug covers the bloodstains on the carpet where 38-year-old Michael Ribaudo lay Saturday after being shot once in the torso and once in the back of the head. Rialto police on Tuesday arrested Ribaudo's former girlfriend, Jennifer Stull, 23, of Fontana, in connection with Ribaudo's death. His bedroom and computer room both remain cluttered with his pictures, Elvis figurines and his electronics. The stale smell of cigarettes lingers. For his mother, who has been staying with her boyfriend, reminders of the tragedy are always present. "I always loved living there, but I can't come back," she said. "I'll be able to pack up my belongings, but going through my son's possessions is going to be tough. I don't know how I'll be able to do it." Michael Ribaudo was found dead just inside the front door of his mother's house on Driftwood Avenue about 11:30 p.m. Saturday by his current girlfriend. He had been shot with a .22-caliber handgun, police said. Police tracked Stull to a mobile home in Fontana on Tuesday. Stull told police Michael Ribaudo had harassed her and attempted to detain her, allegations Ribaudo's family challenge because they say Stull was the one pursuing Ribaudo. But the arrest is of little comfort to Beverly Ribaudo. She said her son wasn't perfect, but he was her only son and intermittent roommate over the past six years. Friends and family describe Michael Ribaudo as a "big kid" with a biting sense of humor. He had snarky nicknames for nieces and nephews and could be "a pain in the you-know-what," his mother said. He also had a drug problem most of his adult life and was arrested numerous times, his mother said. Methamphetamine abuse had badly corroded his teeth. But there were inklings of a turnaround. He had been clean for about six months and had taken on a leadership role in his Narcotics Anonymous meetings, his mother said. His newfound maturity and sobriety convinced family friend Jennifer Reynolds to trust him on baby-sitting assignments with her kids, which he performed admirably, Reynolds said. He also had begun to re-establish contact with his eldest son, who lives with his mother in Idaho. He wanted to become a better father to his three estranged sons, Beverly Ribaudo said. His memorial service begins at 9 a.m. today at Mountain View Community Church, 8833 Palmetto Ave., Fontana, after which he will be buried at Desert View Memorial Park in Victorville. Beverly Ribaudo will soon gather up the mementos she placed on a porch-side memorial for her son at her home. She'll be gone, too. "I can never come back to live here after what happened," she said.
