Abraham Sigal, aged 89, and his wife Regina Sigal, aged 86, were found dead in their Half Moon Bay home on January 5, 2019. The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office responded to a 911 call reporting a possible shooting at their residence on Terrace Avenue. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the bodies of the elderly couple, both with fresh gunshot wounds.
The incident was quickly identified as a murder-suicide, with Abraham Sigal being the 911 caller.
Investigators found a handgun at the scene and documents that suggested the tragic event was premeditated. These documents were purposefully left out for the authorities to find, indicating that the couple had planned the murder-suicide. The San Mateo County Coroner's Office confirmed the identities of the deceased as Abraham and Regina Sigal.
The investigation concluded that the shooting was an isolated incident, and there were no other suspects involved. The authorities did not pursue any further arrests or litigations related to the case, as the evidence clearly pointed to a mutual decision by the couple to end their lives. The community of Half Moon Bay was left in shock by the incident, but no ongoing legal cases or investigations were reported following the initial findings.
