Tucson, AZ - Jacob Isaac Bynog, 32, is a single guy who enjoys looking like Jesus or Charlie Manson, digging, and matricide. But you won’t be able to hit that soon, girls, because Jacob Bynog is going away for a very long time. He was arrested on Monday for killing his mother, 65-year-old Patricia Ann Bynog. How do police know he did it? He buried her in the backyard, is how. Oh, and he told the cops his mother was “evil” and “needed to die”. Sounds like an admission to me.
Patricia Bynog’s daughter hadn’t been able to reach her mom for several days, so she reported Mrs. Bynog missing on Saturday. Police went by the house, but find Patricia there, so they left.
On Monday, investigators showed up at the house to search for Patricia Bynog. Officers went around to the back yard and found a patch of dirt which had been recently disturbed, so they started digging. At around 3:00 Monday afternoon, they found Mrs. Bynog buried in the shallow grave.
Jacob Bynog lived with his mother and had been arrested as recently as September 19 on a domestic violence charge involving her. His previous arrest history is straight out of The Drug-Addled Violent Crazy Dude’s Handbook and includes numerous assault arrests, including assault on law enforcement. I particularly like the “prisoner assault with bodily fluids” charge.
Jacob Bynog’s record also includes aggravated driving under the influence, shoplifting, disorderly conduct, criminal damage, indecent exposure, threatening, and the obligatory possession of drug paraphernalia / weed arrest. Frankly, dude probably needed the weed to even out his Seriously Cranky Disorder.
During an interview, Bynog said that he strangled his mother with his bare hands sometime last week. Nothing like looking Mom in the face while you choke the life out of her, huh? He then kept her in a bedroom for several days before deciding that he really was gonna have to bury her.
What is up with the keeping corpses lying around lately? Is it laziness on the part of the killer? Do they suddenly get tired after murdering someone and decide to take a long weekend before disposing of the body? It’s weird.
Jacob Bynog has been charged with first-degree murder. He is being held in the Pima County Jail on a million dollar bond.
So Jaded is on this one in our forums.

Oct 9, 2008 at 3:00 pm -I’ve known this family for nearly 20 years.
There is a long story behind all of this. Jake has not always been that way. He was once a wonderful father, son, friend and boyfriend (not mine, my friends). Then he died in a car wreck. The EMTs brought him back. He spent a long time in a coma. He has never been the same since.
I won’t go into the entire story, but know one thing…Pat would want everyone to pray for Jake and the rest of the family.
I hope his sisters and daughters don’t come across this page. This nightmare is tough enough to deal with, without hearing outsiders opinions on a story they really don’t know anything about, except for what was written by a journalist.

Oct 9, 2008 at 4:55 pm -Mel — thanks for the info. So how long has he been out of the coma? Did he have positive contact with family members other than his mom? Just wondering if anyone saw some things more than his usual abnormal behavior.
This must be a nightmare for his family. You could possibly help by steering them away form DD if you think that’s best. Afterall, you found us, it’s just a matter of time. And I doubt that anyone on this site means any ill will toward his sisters and daughters.

Oct 9, 2008 at 4:55 pm -Traumatic brain injuries can damage myriad areas of the brain, including impulse control - but Jacob’s mother had him arrested as recently as September 19 for assaulting her. Brain injuries do not automatically make people go out and kill. We have people who are members of this site who have had severe, debilitating brain injuries and they are not homicidal. What kind of treatment was Jake getting? Was he seeing a neurologist? A neuropsychologist? Was he getting occupational therapy or help with coping skills? If not, why not?
It’s clear from Jake’s arrest record that he has a long history of violence and drug use. Are you suggesting that he should not be held responsible for killing his mother because of his brain injury, or because of his drug use? Next up, someone’s gonna blame the victim for having him living in her home, or blame God for saving Jake’s life so he could go and take his mother’s.
To me, the blame lies squarely on the murderer, here. Not on a car accident, not on his victim, not on God for sparing his life, not on us for being all mean, but on him.
And he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus, not really.

Oct 9, 2008 at 4:56 pm -Most of us wanted her to put him in a hospital, but they had no money after the medical expenses. She even lost her home and property. She loved her son very much and would not institutionalize him.
I know she has forgiven him, for he knows not what he has done.
It’s easy for you all to hate him and judge him, not knowing anything about him. If you knew him before he lost his life, you couldn’t hate him. They will both be OK now. He will get the help he has always needed and she is finally at peace.

Oct 9, 2008 at 5:11 pm -We’re not shocked that Jake did this.
Jake lost everything while he was in a coma - his girlfriend left him and she had the kids. He also lost a good 2 years of his memory, so he didn’t even remember his youngest being born - nor did he know he and his girlfriend were having trouble. All he knew is that he woke up and nothing was like he thought it was.
I’m not blaming his actions on his accident. The accident was around 7 years ago and the coma lasted nearly 6 months, IIRC. They had asked Pat many times to pull the plug, but she refused and we prayed and prayed and prayed for him to wake up. When he finally woke up, he couldn’t talk or walk and he could barely move his hands. The doctors said he may not recover any further. Pat wouldn’t accept that and she stayed by his side and continued to pray. The more she prayed, the better he got, but, he was never the same in the head. And yes, drugs were a big factor in all of this.
I used to get mad at Jake for being the way he was after God had given him a second chance at life, but he just didn’t care at all anymore, about anything after he woke up from the accident.
Anyway, Jake and Pat had a very volatile relationship. They fought horribly at times. It was only a matter of time before one of them went too far. Still, Pat was a wonderful person and has done so much good for so many people. She will be missed.
As for Jake, he needs an institution. He needs medical attention. And he needs to stay in the institution forever.

Oct 9, 2008 at 5:20 pm -I find it hard to believe that nobody in the hospital system got Jake Medicaid or SSI. Either of those things would have paid for residential care - IF Jake was disabled enough, either psychiatrically or physically, to qualify. And believe me, the vast majority of brain injured patients get both, simply because brain injuries require months or years of rehab and the loss of function is nearly always enough to make employment difficult if not impossible. And you’re telling me that Jake had none of those benefits? That makes no sense to me.
I’m sorry. I know this is tragic. But as a former traumatic brain injury nurse, blaming either the injury itself (which you said you weren’t) or a lack of resources, when resources for brain injury patients are available, does a disservice to all those who work hard to put their lives back together after a catastrophic injury.
Yes, he had a brain injury. He also had a drug problem. He also chose to kill his mother. And she can forgive him from heaven, but unless he is found mentally incompetent to stand trial, he will be spending his life in prison - as well he should. Looks like he jacked up his second chance.

Oct 9, 2008 at 5:31 pm -Sounds to me like the girlfriend was smart, she got out before Jake did to her and the kids what he did to Pat. There may have been issues caused by the wreck, but an asshole murderer is still an asshole murderer.
33
Mel_Living
Oct 9, 2008 at 5:31 pm -He had medical resources available. SSI - Sends a check. Mom had power of attorney - she got the check. I won’t get into what the money was spent on. Medicaid - I believe he had AHCCCS but I don’t remember her ever taking him to a doctor appointment.
They moved - a lot. Were homeless for a while. She kept him with her. There were others who tried to take Jake in, but she wasn’t having any of it. I’d love to go into the entire history here, because I have only told you a very small part of it, but I’m sure it will come out during trial. I am not blaming her, even though she is the one who introduced him to drugs, and I am not blaming him. There’s plenty of blame to go around, yet I won’t blame anyone.
Man, the stories I could tell that would blow you all away.

Oct 9, 2008 at 5:39 pm -As for everyone freaking out about me flipping the bird, get over it! Man has twisted Christianity to the point that I wonder sometimes if God even recognizes it anymore. How is a picture of Jesus flipping the bird any worse than me being Talking Jesus, or you sitting in a pew on Sunday listening to a minister talk about gays going to hell or any other number of judgmental sermons? Seriously, if Jesus were here today I think he would do more than just flip the bird at a lot of us.

Oct 9, 2008 at 5:43 pm -I agree. After my husband’s accident, he got workman’s comp and SSI. He died 3 times during surgery and has a metal plate in his head now. He still has minor memory problems but he’s here and walking. The doctor’s told us he never should have lived through this.

Oct 9, 2008 at 6:34 pm -Us neither. Information will be flowing from friends and family to help get Jake put where he needs to be.
Anyway, I just wanted you all to have a little bit of background in this case. Not as an excuse, but to help understand a small part of why this may have happened. It is in-excusable what he’s done, but not unforgivable. That’s what his mom would say.

Oct 9, 2008 at 8:25 pm -My condolences to the other family members and friends of the family. How sad for everyone concerned. Mel, thank you for coming in and sharing with us what you are able to. My heart goes out to you and the others.
I say it’s a crime that our mental health system has gotten to such a point that folks who truly need to be institutionalized either cannot afford it, or it takes something drastic to have it court-ordered, etc. Sad that the one who was helping him best she could, is the one who ended up dead. Wish for her sake that he could have gotten the help he needed long before this happened.

Oct 9, 2008 at 11:39 pm -This is why we need long-term, live-in mental institutions. It sounds to me as if Mel would have been happier there than moving around with someone he fought with and his mother would have been safer. Off-loading the mentally ill onto their unprepared families is cruelty by a medical CARE system that has become medical BUSINESS system. I could go on and on, but I am very sorry for what happened in this situation. It must have seemed a miracle that he survived and then this happened.

Oct 10, 2008 at 12:08 am -I agree with you, Wry. Keep us all safe! People used to do the long-term thing more–but insurance companies want them out as soon as possible. Of course, back in the day, long-term did get abused–poor Frances Farmer, the beautiful bi commie actress who got raped by orderlies and finally was lobotomized, is a famous example. But this guy shouldn’t have been anywhere near anyone w/out a straight jacket on!

Oct 10, 2008 at 12:15 am -Mel, I’m really sorry about this. Sounds like some kind of serious brain damage.
Now that is tragic–that she suffered financially. But she was very much in error for not getting him institutionalized. I’m sorry he murdered her. I wish she hadn’t put everyone and especially herself at risk. I’m not trying to be heartless. You said he truly wasn’t himself anymore.
And she filed domestic assault charges against him previously. Why didn’t anyone else close the situation encourage her to institutionalize him?
The fact is, now he will certainly be institutionalized.

Oct 10, 2008 at 12:16 am -There isn’t a perfect solution, especially when the hospitals become over crowded. But we’ve seen the mentally die on the sidewalks or harm members of their familes, so we might as well give it a try. I know of a man killed by his son — if he had had the right to put him in a institution, he’d be alive. I know another man who is bounced from one tempoary living situation to another, each change upsetting him. He needs a pleasant, protected place to live and get treatment.

Oct 10, 2008 at 12:26 pm -the system for the mentally ill in this country is criminal in itself. We always hear the line after an incident like this that they can’t put away unless they are a danger to themselves or others and even then they don’t get put away sometimes. That is why incidents like this occur.
As for mental help in prison, forget it. Prison isn’t set up to deal with mental illiness, all it does it make it worse and make them more dangerous when they come out. A sad story all around.
