Judith Eva Barsi Death Story- Child Star Murdered Along with Mom Maria by Father Jozsef Barsi
Maria Barsi took Judith Eva Barsi to a child psychologist in May 1988. The child psychologist identified severe physical and emotional abuse and reported her findings to child protective services.
The investigation was terminated after her mother informed the case worker that she planned to file for divorce from József and that she and Judith would relocate to a Panorama City apartment she had recently rented from him as a daytime haven.
Her mother’s friends urged her to carry out the plan, but she was hesitant due to her fear of losing her family home.
The bodies of Barsi, her mother Maria, and her father József were discovered dead in an apparent murder-suicide on July 28, 1988, according to the Los Angeles Times.
According to the article, Police Lt. Warren Knowles stated that József poured a flammable liquid, most likely gasoline, on the bodies of Maria and Judith. Judith and Maria were buried in adjacent plots at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
