Brothers Who Tried to Kill Their Parents Give Full Confession in Interrogation Room

[@NeilCrouse99]

I feel SO fortunate, I was adopted and raised by two people who loved me, gave me all the attention I needed and never abused me. I'm 58 and my Dad lived until he was 89,.. Mom is 92 and healthy still. When I see things like this, I think to myself... "I won my lottery Years ago"...

[@n3v3r2l8]

I can totally relate to you. I too was adopted at 22mos, my parents are the best people in the world. My father just died this last November, he too was 89. My mother just turned 89 last month and me and my siblings do everything we can do to be there for her. I love how you said you already won the lottery years ago. That's the perfect way to describe it.

[@chimom7112]

What a wonderful thing to say about your parents. They hit the jackpot with you also.

[@JulieIreland]

Saaame!!! I was adopted as an infant and can honestly say I am highly blessed. I have 2 sets of parents who love me. My bio parents loved me enough to give me a chance of life and my adopted parents loved me enough to accept that challenge. 🙏🏻

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

You are so lucky, I’m jealous. I grew up with a drug addicted alcoholic mother, no father. At 13 my mom had brain cancer and surgery. What I ended up with was a crazy person I didn’t recognize. Basically, I parented myself all my life. Of course I ended up an addict myself until I got clean. When I had my own children I decided I would do the exact opposite of everything my mom did. My 3 boys are adults now and they’re all wonderful young men. Knowing what I know now I cannot understand why my mother didn’t love and cherish me like I love and cherish my kids. They are my everything. Why couldn’t I be my mom’s everything? Sad, huh.

But I never returned home to live, I visited every so often.

A mobile home is what it MIGHT get, and a mobile home is a declining automotive asset. Today the minimum wage is 7.25, in some places, 8.25 in others, with it supposedly being 15$ by 2025 or sumthin. Same buying power as in 1987. Today, you MIGHT be able to buy a mobile home. The point I'm trying to make, no matter how much people believe that outside forces have prevented them from doing whatever, no problems are going to be solved by bichn at anyone. I only made the statement of I had to work just like the original poster of the comment. nobody helped me, nobody offered either. It didn't help me to be bichn about they should have.

True, but after 18, the primary person responsible for taking care of you is you, and anything your parents provide is a extra and a gift, not something you are owed for life. If you have good parents, great, and if your parents are awful, over 18 you now now get to go make your own way in the world and set your own rules. Not always, but often staying home just traps adult “kids” in a kind of perpetual adolescence, where they unnaturally think they should still have the “low demand, low responsibility, parents pay my bills” life of a 13-year-old indefinitely, and get angry if denied this. Those who feel owed continual care as adults can sit home wallowing in decades old grudges against the aging parents and blaming parents for their own failures and frustration, which can lead to violence.

[@The_Joy_Finder]

Curious to know what you think about this: this is really really scary to me. I think that the older sibling explaining that his parents were NOT really rich, only explained that they HAD TO WORK HARD and LONG HOURS, which is why they did NOT have time for their KIDS; yet they had time for a TV show which the kids grew to HATE. I blame the MOTHER for not being a mother, and I blame the FATHER for not RECOGNIZING what was going on in HIS home. I don't believe either story: i don't believe the mama, nor the two sons, especially not the eldest son because HE HAD BEEN OUT OF THE HOME FOR YEARS AND THE ONLY THING HE SAID BAD ABOUT HIS MOTHER WAS THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR THEM - plus he was found in the bathroom upstairs KNOCKED unconscIous by a GUN, the mother was ALREADY BEATEN but didn't sound like it (no CRIES, no PANTING, NOTHING), the FATHER and the younger son in the garage (I assume the father TRIED to escape). I think that the MOTHER gave the gun to the YOUNGER SON, told him to go kill his father BEFORE he could get away, he LOST the gun by knocking out the eldest brother (Where was the GUN found by the police ???), then grabbed a KNIFE (maybe he was CHARGED by the father, then the father ran to the garage to get away ???), PLUS, WHY DID THEY WAIT ALLLLLL NIGHT ???????? At any rate, according to the police, the father was in the GARAGE stabbed several times, and one of the sons was also there in the garage with the father, and the second son was ON THE FLOOR UP STAIRS KNOCKED OUT BY A GUN (not the weapon used to kill ANYONE - was the gun even LOADED???) ? And why was the mama so COOL, CALM, & COLLECTED on that call and giving a READY MADE MOTIVE and POSSIBLE MURDER WEAPON to the police (like, if they were trying to kill BOTH parents, then why not just SHOOT HER FIRST, and why was the eldest unconcious by a hit with the very gun SHE said would be used to kill her husband ???)??? I think that the YOUNGEST SON was told to kill his own FATHER, the eldest brother found out and TRIED TO STOP HIM but got HIT OVER THE HEAD WITH THE GUN (was he hit in a spot that knocks a man unconscious ???). The gun was somehow lost or USELESS with NO BULLETS (by this time the father is awake and trying to escape!). Then the 17 year old was charged by the father, or the 17 year old grabbed a knife from the kitchen and ran after the father, and then proceeded to stabbing his father. I would like to know WHERE DID THE STABBING take place in the home (the garage, or did it START some place else?). The other thing I would like to know is was the mother having an affair of ANY kind, and if she had ever showed SIGNS OF PHYSICAL ABUSE, or ever COMPLAINED TO FRIENDS/FAMILY ABOUT MENTAL/EMOTIONAL ABUSE, or simply COMPLAINED about her husband AT ALL. Plus, WHY DID SHE PUT DOWN THE PHONE (like it was a SECRET), only to tell her SON(s) that she had CALLED THE POLICE ??? Did she tell BOTH sons or just ONE son that she had called the police ? and if she told BOTH sons, then from the time she made the call, until the police arrived, when was the ELDEST SON KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ??? ******************Naw, I think that THE MOTHER used that time to tell her children that THEY needed to take the BLAME because of their AGE ! I don't know, but her story about the GUN just doesn't make ANY sense, because why didn't she mention the one son KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ??? Plus, SHE said that BOTH SONS went DOWNSTAIRS after their FATHER, but that wasn't true, that was a LIE !

They mentally abused them, they didn’t do what their parents wanted them to do - play football, go to a particular college, not be in the band - and by the boys doing what they wanted, the neglect, the coldness and unwanted feelings came into their lives. It’s sad when your parents make you feel like that; I know how that feels. I never done it said anything about it, but it does hurt. Mom seems like she was a silent partner because the dad was overbearing and if things didn’t go his way - they all caught hell. I hate the boys made a decision to do that; but everyone has a breaking point and they’d gotten to it. I hope the family can mend their relationship and possibly start over. 🙏🏽prayers for them.

The father was trying to force them to do things that were not in there hearts desire. They had other plans and dreams. Them both as parents are supposed to support them no matter what.

what if the mother told them to confess? what do you think about this? this is really really scary to me. I think that the older sibling explaining that his parents were NOT really rich, only explained that they HAD TO WORK HARD and LONG HOURS, which is why they did NOT have time for their KIDS; yet they had time for a TV show which the kids grew to HATE. I blame the MOTHER for not being a mother, and I blame the FATHER for not RECOGNIZING what was going on in HIS home. I don't believe either story: i don't believe the mama, nor the two sons, especially not the eldest son because HE HAD BEEN OUT OF THE HOME FOR YEARS AND THE ONLY THING HE SAID BAD ABOUT HIS MOTHER WAS THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR THEM - plus he was found in the bathroom upstairs KNOCKED unconscIous by a GUN, the mother was ALREADY BEATEN but didn't sound like it (no CRIES, no PANTING, NOTHING), the FATHER and the younger son in the garage (I assume the father TRIED to escape). I think that the MOTHER gave the gun to the YOUNGER SON, told him to go kill his father BEFORE he could get away, he LOST the gun by knocking out the eldest brother (Where was the GUN found by the police ???), then grabbed a KNIFE (maybe he was CHARGED by the father, then the father ran to the garage to get away ???), PLUS, WHY DID THEY WAIT ALLLLLL NIGHT ???????? At any rate, according to the police, the father was in the GARAGE stabbed several times, and one of the sons was also there in the garage with the father, and the second son was ON THE FLOOR UP STAIRS KNOCKED OUT BY A GUN (not the weapon used to kill ANYONE - was the gun even LOADED???) ? And why was the mama so COOL, CALM, & COLLECTED on that call and giving a READY MADE MOTIVE and POSSIBLE MURDER WEAPON to the police (like, if they were trying to kill BOTH parents, then why not just SHOOT HER FIRST, and why was the eldest unconcious by a hit with the very gun SHE said would be used to kill her husband ???)??? I think that the YOUNGEST SON was told to kill his own FATHER, the eldest brother found out and TRIED TO STOP HIM but got HIT OVER THE HEAD WITH THE GUN (was he hit in a spot that knocks a man unconscious ???). The gun was somehow lost or USELESS with NO BULLETS (by this time the father is awake and trying to escape!). Then the 17 year old was charged by the father, or the 17 year old grabbed a knife from the kitchen and ran after the father, and then proceeded to stabbing his father. I would like to know WHERE DID THE STABBING take place in the home (the garage, or did it START some place else?). The other thing I would like to know is was the mother having an affair of ANY kind, and if she had ever showed SIGNS OF PHYSICAL ABUSE, or ever COMPLAINED TO FRIENDS/FAMILY ABOUT MENTAL/EMOTIONAL ABUSE, or simply COMPLAINED about her husband AT ALL. Plus, WHY DID SHE PUT DOWN THE PHONE (like it was a SECRET), only to tell her SON(s) that she had CALLED THE POLICE ??? Did she tell BOTH sons or just ONE son that she had called the police ? and if she told BOTH sons, then from the time she made the call, until the police arrived, when was the ELDEST SON KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ??? ******************Naw, I think that THE MOTHER used that time to tell her children that THEY needed to take the BLAME because of their AGE ! I don't know, but her story about the GUN just doesn't make ANY sense, because why didn't she mention the one son KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ??? Plus, SHE said that BOTH SONS went DOWNSTAIRS after their FATHER, but that wasn't true, that was a LIE !

I know the younger one and when this happened SHOCKED wasn’t a good enough descriptor for how I felt. He had always presented himself as a cordial and polite young man. I had even dropped him off after his last prom (I was a teacher at the high school) as the parents did the after prom party at their house to provide a safe place for the students. This was just heartbreaking.

It is so scary. Boys' plan. Burn the house with parents asleep. Insurance? How the disappointment from their father or pressure to make something of yourself, and not be a kid behind Xbox all day or hang outside and get in trouble, made them feel this way. Expectations. Young brother just graduated and saw how older brother's life already was for 5 years. Older brother tells a bit about trusts and Maserati's and without football a 4.0. Etc etc. Pressure. Working and having to pay himself. Navy a solution. While maybe, the youth just want to have fun. Going out and videogames.... Sad. How they both thought, this was a good idea. And that they were capable. Without mom being on the phone with 911, would they have succeeded?

Why are you assuming he never did? He clearly says at mark 19:00 both brothers were meant to be out of the house for the Navy and the youngest, soonest he graduated. He seems very protective of his younger brother - he keeps saying “we did this … we did that”, while the younger brother takes full responsibility, saying “I stabbed my father … I poured gas all over the house” , suggesting the older is covering for him. How do you know he never left because he didn’t want to leave his younger brother with his parents? He clearly says at the start of the interview, his father had started physically abusing his younger brother - slapping him etc. - and, in the interview with the younger brother, the younger brother says the older was constantly in the habit of breaking them apart when physical fights between the two of them escalated. Didn’t the older brother say, at the start of the interview, the younger brother fled home for weeks after a physical altercation with his father? Did we watch the same interview? We shouldn’t always draw conclusions so rapidly and be quick to condemn people because we will never know the complete truth of what happened, only the people who were actually there. I’m inclined to believe these parents are not at all innocent also and created an emotionally toxic home for their children.

Your comment is very ignorant considering the psychological abuse both of these young men suffered at the hands of their parents. All they had was each other. And it’s clear they are both educated and very intelligent. They just snapped. And made a terrible mistake. They aren’t thugs or hoodlums they were pursuing higher education and the navy. But they are their brothers keeper and they were in this together. This wasn’t a “follower” situation. They were both angry and deeply hurt. But they ultimately told the truth after realizing how wrong this was. And was willing to accept responsibility. And stayed logical throughout the entire interrogation. Give slack and reasonable judgement where it’s due.
