This selfie was taken at the party that Tyler Hadley (on the left) threw a few hours after beating his parents to death. Their bodies were lying in a bedroom in the house while the party was taking place.
On July 16, 2011, 17-year-old Tyler Hadley bludgeoned his parents to death, put their bodies in the master bedroom, and then threw a massive party at his house. Shortly before five in the evening, that day, the Florida-based high school student took his parents’ cell phone.
He then took three ecstasy pills and went to stand behind his mother while she was working on the family computer. He then beat her with a hammer, again and again until she was dead. After hearing the mother’s scream, Tyler’s father rushed from the bedroom to the scene.
They stared at each other for several moments before he did the same to his father. He spent three hours cleaning up the bloody mess, hid their bodies in the master bedroom, and got ready to throw the party of his lifetime.
After murdering his parents, Tyler sent several Facebook messages to his friends, inviting them to his party. Since he had been grounded for days before this, his friends expressed concerns about whether or not his parents will let him have the party.
To that, Tyler said that they won’t be home, and when they asked him about the possibility of them showing up during the party, he coldly replied, “They won’t trust me.”
After this, he stopped at an ATM and picked up some of his friends. Around 60 people gathered at his house, playing beer pong, drinking alcohol, smoking cigars, and causing a ruckus. That night, Tyler told Michael Mandell, his best friend, that he had bludgeoned his parents with a claw hammer.
He took Michael to the master bedroom and all the blood that was there. After processing what Tyler had just told him and what he had just seen, Michael took that now-infamous selfie, thinking that he would never see him again. Soon, the news of the crime spread, and Tyler was arrested the next morning.
As a teen, Tyler was disturbed and had mental health issues. He was known for skipping school and taking drugs. His parents had also taken him to a psychiatrist and outpatient substance abuse and mental health programs. Tyler had also committed crimes such as arson in the past and expressed a desire to die. In 2014, he was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole
