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.

62-year-old Florida woman stuck in a swamp for four days, survives.

Kathleen Shino, 62, of Holiday, Florida, went for her daily walk on Friday, June 19.

However, she did not return home.

Her daughter, Kristi Fusco, who she speaks to on a daily basis, was curious as to why she hadn't heard from her the following Saturday. By Sunday, she filed a police report.

That's when panic set in.

Despite local searches, and even searches near the mangroves that Shino was trapped in, she was never found.

Miraculously, on June 21, four days after Shino went missing, the local sheriff's office and Police Department got a frantic phone call from Alexia Cuartas and her daughter, Alexandra Echazabal. They were in the backyard of their Koala Drive home when they heard what they thought was a bird or frog in the lake behind the house. When they realized that the faint moans were coming from a human, they immediately took action.

Alexandra, 30, talking about where she heard the faint moans of Shino

She was found in to the mangroves, up to her neck in mud.

Now you must be wondering, "How did Kathleen Shino get trapped in the swamp in the first place?"

It is still a mystery.

Even after a month of investigating and trying to figure how she ended up in the swamp, Shino is still unaware of how she got there. She says she does not remember. She remembers walking by the bank that she always passes during her daily walks. Next thing she knew, she was nearly submerged in a swamp surrounded by thick branches.

Shino says she kept track of the days by counting leaves. In a Today Show interview, she says "I never knew how long 24 hours was.." Throughout those four days, she could not eat, drink or sleep. When she was found, she was clinging to life, depleted of energy.

Now remember, she is 62 years old!

A month later, she is slowly regaining energy, and now she is even able to laugh a little about the incident. She still shudders at some of the memories, but she hopes she will soon know what really happened on that horrible Friday.

As if this story could not get any more inspiring, Shino suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, and normally travels with crutches. However, that tragic Friday, she left the house without her crutches. "She is the strongest woman I know," says Fusco.
