Calif. Boys Charged in 'Sopranos'-Style Murder

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Two sons who allegedly killed their mother,
chopping off her head and hands
as they saw on "The Sopranos," faced murder charges on Tuesday as a
portrait emerged of the victim as a troubled and abusive woman.
Half-brothers Jason Bautista, 20, and Matthew Montejo, 15, were
charged with the first-degree murder of their mother, Jane Marie
Bautista, whose headless and nearly nude body was discovered in a
rock- strewn ravine in a remote part of Orange County, south of Los
Angeles on Jan 15.
Prosecutors will charge Montejo as an adult, making him eligible for
life in prison without parole if convicted.
Police searching the family's apartment in Riverside, California,
about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, found the severed head and hands
wrapped in plastic and stuffed into a duffel bag hidden in a hall
closet.
Investigators believe the 41-year-old woman was strangled in her bed
and said Jason Bautista had confessed to the murder, telling
detectives that he and his half-brother dismembered the body after
seeing it done by characters on "The Sopranos."
Jason Bautista remembered that the mobsters on the hit crime drama put
their victim's head in a bowling bag, police said, but did not have
one so used the duffel bag instead.
Prosecutors refused to speculate on a motive for the murders, and
Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona said he could not imagine what
justification the two defendants could offer for such a horrific
crime.
But a defense attorney for Jason Bautista told reporters there were
"issues of abuse" in the case and new details emerged about the
turbulent home life of the two boys, who lived with their mother in a
series of southern California neighborhoods after moving from
Illinois.
Jason Bautista's father, Armando Bautista, committed suicide 19 years
ago and Montejo's father did not live with the family.
Rosemary Webb, who lived next door to the family in the quiet San
Diego suburb of San Marcos during the early 1990s, recalled that Jane
Marie Bautista and her two sons occupied the only rented home in a
"typical middle-class American neighborhood" and did not fit in.
Webb told Reuters in an interview that Jane Marie Bautista appeared to
be mentally ill and filled with rage, believing that "Mexicans" were
living on her roof and often screaming obscenities at her sons -- who
at the time were about 10 and 5 years old.
'SHE WAS QUITE CRAZY'
"I remember she would leave for the evening dressed in a very short
black leather mini skirt and fishnet stockings," Webb said. "She would
leave her two young sons home while she went out. She was also quite
abusive to the older one and she showed a great amount of favoritism
to the younger one."
She said Jane Marie Bautista's provocative attire, late-night hours
and lack of a regular job led neighbors to conclude that she was a
prostitute and refer to her as "Trixie" behind her back.
"She was quite crazy," Webb added. "She would call (police) on a
regular basis to come get the Mexicans living on her roof. It became a
neighborhood joke."
Webb said several times she found Jason Bautista sitting on the curb
in front of his home, his feet in the gutter and head between his
knees, crying.
Webb said Jane Marie Bautista did not take good care of the home,
letting the backyard grass die until it was just hard dirt, and was
ultimately evicted. She then spent "enormous amounts of money"
planting new sod in a bid to get back her security deposit.
Several years later Bautista and her sons were living in another
southern California suburb, Menifee, where neighbors described a
similar situation.
Dan Cormier, a former minor league hockey player who lived on the same
street as the family for two years, told Reuters he saw the boys
playing street hockey once and tried to coach them but was put off by
their mother.
"When she came around she just scowled or yelled at them," he said.
"Their body language and looks told me everything. When I was talking
to them I wanted to be introduced to the mother but she would just
yell at them to get in the house."
Cormier said Jane Marie Bautista "bickered" with her neighbors about
noise and would go out each night at about 11:30, leaving the boys
home alone. He said she did not appear to hold a regular job.
"She acted a little crazy," he said. "It seemed to me she needed to be
under psychiatric care."
Police said Jane Marie Bautista had not worked in years and may have
gotten financial assistance from her grandmother.
Her father, Don Osborne, told the Los Angeles Times in an interview
that she was estranged from most of her family for reasons he would
not discuss.
