The fact that Mr. Peter walked around grievously wounded is surreal..the working of human brain is still an enigma

[@eml7273]

Pretty messed up that the son could look at his mom's distorted face knowing that he did that to her and carry on like he's innocent. He's a monster.

[@l.knight6786]

Seeing him walking next to her holding the umbrella is very disturbing knowing that he tried to kill her.

[@commanderkeen3787]

Truly a horrifying case. This guy is showed absolutely zero remorse, even went so far as to hold his mother's hand and hold her umbrella.... with those same hands that swung an axe into her head. What a soulless human

[@serena1785]

My mother-in-law was like that with her one son. No matter how bad his choices and behavior she always had an excuse for him even until the end of her life. Nothing he ever did was his fault. He was never held responsible for anything he did. She loved him and feared him and was afraid of losing him. You create monsters when you raise your kids like that.

Saw this episode years back. It still is one of the most remarkable episodes of Forensic Files.

[@UniquelyYanique]

Imagine thinking you’re bringing your legacy into the world only to bring in your murder. That’s so messed up

[@samanthaob87]

I know the story is about solving the murder. I can’t stop thinking about how much he did after being axed in the head over a dozen times. The human brain is so fascinating, unbelievable.

[@rocioaguilera3555]

Poor mom. She's in denial because admitting the truth would be very painful. Rest in peace, Mr. Porco

[@HeronCoyote1234]

This was the most comprehensive telling of the Porco murder/attempted murder I’ve seen to date. I grew up in that town, and graduated from the high school that is at the end of the street where the Porcos lived.

[@almasantiago1100]

I will never understand why and how someone can kill their parents when all they've done is love and support you, even when you mess up. It truly baffles me

[@andrewbochicchio2232]

This is the one of the craziest forensic file episodes I've ever seen. I mean just a thought of that guy walking around making breakfast is so creepy

[@KlusterFux]

The most unsettling thing here is the amount of these shows showing children killing their parents!!!!

[@habibahyahya6412]

How sad when a child did this crime to the parents who brought him to this world. What a waste😭

[@bradpanter6559]

I’ve probably watched every Forensic files episode ever, and this is one I’ll never forget. Neo and Paleo cortex is fascinating.

[@azoutlaw7]

Wow! Mr. Porco got up & did his morning routine. Even using a spare key when he accidentally locked himself out. Unbelievably amazing. Poor Mrs. Porco can't believe, or doesn't want to believe, that her son could do this. I wonder what the other son thinks. This is similar to the Mason Jenkins case in Canada

[@miriam2909]

I wonder if he'll still have to pay his gambling debts while in jail. What a cold blooded murderer. Makes me vomit

[@kmuhammadshah7839]

Mother's denial that her son is a ruthless killer.

[@catherinesyme901]

I wonder what the other son thinks? Very very sad

[@lanashelby4527]

So astonishing the wounded father could do his routine after being axed so many times……RIP
