 OFFLINE | April 1991
- When David Hibbs exited the school bus on April 19, 1991, he was anxious to find his mom. It was a sunny Friday afternoon in Bristol Township, Pa. — more importantly, it was report card day — and the 12-year-old boy had just made the honor roll. Unfortunately, that happy moment in time proved to be short-lived. When the boy approached his house, a horror unlike any other he had ever experienced began to unfold before his eyes. “When I got to the house, I noticed smoke coming out of a window,” Hibbs told The Huffington Post. “I also saw my mom’s car in the driveway, and I ran around to the back entrance, where I usually entered the house.” Hibbs pulled open the back door, which opened into the kitchen area, and found himself pushed back by a plume of thick smoke.
- Firefighters found the body of 36-year-old Joy Hibbs in her son’s bedroom. According to retired Bristol Township Detective Lt. Richard Bilson, the scene inside the bedroom was horrific. “She was lying face-up on a mattress that was nothing but springs,” Bilson told HuffPost. “Her body was black — completely burnt beyond recognition. She looked like a mummy and the entire room was charred.”
- Bilson said fire investigators initially thought Joy Hibbs was the tragic victim of a house fire. The following day, a coroner confirmed part of that theory — her death was tragic, albeit no accident. “The coroner advised us she died before the fire started,” Bilson said. “He located five stab wounds, to her neck and chest, and there was a computer cord wrapped around her neck. At that point, it became a homicide investigation.”
