Florida authorities have arrested a teenage boy who murdered his parents, locked their bodies in the master bedroom and then hosted a party at their house. Police confirm 17-year-old Tyler Hadley has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of his parents, Blake and Mary Jo Hadley. He is being held without bond and will be tried as an adult.
Port St. Lucie Police Capt. Don Kryak says Hadley, a high school dropout, posted an invitation to his house party on Facebook around 1:30 p.m. Saturday. Sometime that afternoon he used a hammer to beat his parents to death outside their bedroom. Police spokesman Tom Nichols says Hadley then drug their bodies into the room and used "books, files, towels, anything that he could find inside the home to cover the bodies.” Hadley locked the bedroom door and continued with his party plans.
Around 60 people attended the party. It is unclear if any of the partygoers saw the bodies, but a rumor circulated among them that “perhaps Tyler had killed his parents.” An anonymous tip led authorities to check the Hadley house around 4:30 a.m. Sunday. The teen initially told them his parents were out of town, but officers eventually found the bodies and murder weapon.
