Were They Victims Of Abuse - Or Cold-blooded Killers? The True Story Of A Mother, Two Sons And A Horrifying Murder.
Twenty-year-old college student Jason Bautista for years endured his emotionally disturbed mother's verbal and psychological abuse. His younger brother Matthew Montejo also was a victim to Jane Bautista's dark mood swings but Jason received the brunt of the abuse.
One night in January 2003, Jason strangled his mother. To keep authorities from identifying her body, he chopped off her head and hands, an idea he claimed he got from watching an episode of the hit TV series The Sopranos. Matthew would later testify that he sat in another room in the house with the TV volume turned up while Jason murdered their mother. The morning following the murder, Matthew went to school, and Jason returned to his classes.
When authorities zeroed in on them, Jason lied and said that Jane had run off with a boyfriend she'd met on the Internet. But when police confronted the boys with overwhelming evidence, Jason confessed all.
