Judith was last seen riding her bike on the morning of July 25, 1988.[1] That evening, József shot her in the head while she was sleeping, and then murdered Maria.[2] He then spent the next two days wandering around the house,[3] and said during a phone conversation with Barsi’s agent the next night that he intended to move out for good and just needed time to "say goodbye to my little girl."[3] Following the phone call, he poured gasoline on the dead bodies and set them on fire before[9] heading to the garage and shooting himself in the head with a .32 caliber pistol.[10][11] On August 9, 1988, Barsi and her mother were interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.[12]
