Tyler Hadley said to have been on Ecstacy prior to his parents' murder. Close friend Michael Mandel speaks out. (COURT VIDEO included as well)

This is a follow-up to the brutal murder of Mary Jo Hadley, 47, and 54-year-old Blake Hadley by their own 17-year-old son. Last Saturday, Port St. Lucie resident, Tyler Hadley, reportedly became upset that his parents would not let him have a party. As a result, he allegedly beat them to death with a hammer, and proceded to have his party anyways, while they lay dead in his Florida home.



This was an interview by WPTV News Channel 5, with Hadley's best friend Michael Mandell. Here we can see that Hadley had confessed the murder to Mandell, prior to his arrest, and when he saw blood in the house, the confession was confirmed.

This is Mandell and Hadley during the party, AFTER the murder.

"I opened the door. I saw bloody sheets piled everywhere. I saw broken pictures with blood on them and I looked down and I saw his dad's leg there," said Mandell in an interview with the Sun Sentinal.

Mandell claims to be "in shock" about the whole situation, and says he feels like he doesn't even know Hadley, who he has been best friends with "forever."

The fact that Tyler murdered his parents is disturbing in itself. But what is the most disturbing to me is his ability to maintain his composure. After the murder, Mandell said that "Tyler was having a fun time himself, he was acting like nothing had happened."

Meanwhile, his deceased parents were rotting away in their locked bedroom.

Mandell said that Hadley's reasoning behind the murder was that, "the devil possessed him." He said the Hadleys were having financial problems and, according to Mandell, that along with rap music and fights with his parents influenced his actions, according to the Sun Sentinal.



Hadley was denied of bail and is currently charged with second degree murder charges. The state is trying to bump those charges up to first degree murder charges. Supposedly, he is not up for the death penalty.

Personally, I hope he rots in jail.

South Florida teen kills parents with a hammer then has a party

Tyler Hadley, 17 of Port St. Lucie, FL, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly beating his parents, 54-year-old Blake Hadley and 47-year-old Mary-Jo Hadley, to death with a hammer. What makes this story even more sickening, was that he threw a party with at least 60 people in attendance following the brutal murder. Yes, the corpses were still in the house, but covered with various household items.

At around 1:15pm the Saturday before his arrest, Hadley reportedly sent out a Facebook invite about a party at his house that night.

According to the Local 10 news of Broward County, Hadley killed his parents because they wouldn't let him throw a party.

After the police had already shown up once for a noise complaint around 1:30 a.m., they returned to the Port St. Lucie home after receiving a tip that a murder had taken place.

According to The Associated Press, police found the bodies covered with towels, files, books and other household items, and the hammer between them.

The location of the hammer and the trauma to the heads and torsos of both victims led police to believe that the hammer was used to murder them.

Hadley is currently awaiting trial and charged with two counts of murder. "He is being held without bond at a juvenile detention center in Fort Pierce and it's not immediately known whether he has an attorney," according to Fox News.

Wayland High Football Player allegedly murders girlfriend of three years: horrific and disturbing

I'm watching the Today Show this morning, and I was taken back by a story that truly disturbed me.

It was like a cheesy horror movie, that you never think could happen in real life.

Here we have your ideal high school duo. Star football player alongside his long time, gorgeous girlfriend.

As a talented and promising young woman with dreams of being a fashion designer, Lauren Astley's "partially submerged" body was found in a marsh by a traveling bicyclist this past Monday.

Can you imagine?

According to http://www.bostonherald.com/, "Lauren Astley had a “gaping, significant and horrific” wound to her neck, [along with a bungee cord wrapped around her neck as well] prosecutors said." She was spotted by Route 27 in Wayland, Boston.

The bungee cord that was allegedly wrapped around her neck was also found in Fujita's garage, along with blood soaked sneakers and clothes. Prosecutors also say that there was a significant amount of blood, as well as a clear attempt to conceal it.

Why?

"Prosecutor Lisa McGovern said Fujita and Astley had dated for three years, but Astley had recently ended the relationship," (http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/).


So, all the clues here lead to one thing... this horrific murder was inspired by a break-up. A BREAK-UP?! The scary thing is, Nathaniel Fujita had NO criminal record. No past of violence. This couple was together for 3 years. Common knowledge tells us that you know someone pretty well after three years. Clearly, that isn't the case.


After work on Sunday night, she was planning on visiting Fujita, possibly to clear things up.


She never came home.


Through tears and obvious heartbreak, her father's parting words with the press were:


“If you have children,” Astley said, “treasure them.”




Lauren Astley's father

 If we can learn anything from this case, it's that as much as you think you may know someone, you really don't. However, always watch for any signs of violence. Never put yourself in a vulnerable situation, or at least try not to. You do not want to end up like Lauren, whose family and friends are permanently destroyed. Her father now has to live with the thought and image of his daughter being tortured and brutally murdered.


Such a sad ending for such a promising, beautiful young woman.

Casey Anthony GUILTY of Providing False Information, but INNOCENT of MURDER

Proof beyond reasonable doubt... was not found.

However, she was convicted of providing false information to law enforcement officers. AKA, lying.

The evidence that follows, did not suffice:

• Hair binding, human composition, and traces of chloroform found in Anthony's car.
• Google searches of the terms "neck breaking" "Chloroform" and "death."
• The Heart shaped stickers found at the scene of Caylee's body, also found in her house.
• Diary entry that said:

The following diary entry by Casey Anthony is dated "June 21" and reads:

I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out OK. I completely trust my own judgment and know that I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies the means. I just want to know what the future will hold for me. I guess I will soon see – This is the happiest that I have been in a very long time. I hope that my happiness will continue to grow– I've made new friends that I really like. I've surrounded myself with good people – I am finally happy. Let's just hope that it doesn't change.^[57]

• Traces of duct tape found on nose and mouth of Caylee.
• Clubbing and going out while Caylee was missing.
• Accusing her father of sexual abuse.

Evidence of remains given at the trial

HOWEVER:

According to the New York Times,
"Investigators found no trace of DNA or solid signs of chloroform or decomposition inside the trunk of Ms. Anthony’s car, where prosecutors said Ms. Anthony stashed Caylee before disposing of her body." Key word: SOLID. There was no SOLID PROOF. Same goes for the fact that the prosecutors did not give a SOLID explanation for Caylee's reason of death.

The jury followed the rules of the judicial system. Was it flawed? On who's part? Why was her body decomposing for six months before they actually found her?

"The prosecution was also hurt by the fact that nobody knows exactly how Caylee died; her body was too badly decomposed to pinpoint cause of death," http://www.nytimes.com/.
