He stood behind Mary-Jo while she worked at a computer for five minutes and then beat his mother to death with a hammer. Hearing Mary-Jo's screams Blake rushed to the scene and saw Tyler. They starred at each other for several minutes and beat his father to death. He then spent three hours cleaning up the blood before hosting a party. He then hid their bodies in the master bedroom.[2]

Some time after the murders, Tyler posted a facebook post letting people know that he was having a party that night. He then stopped at an ATM and then picked up some friends. About 60 people gathered for the party, playing beer pong, smoking cigars and drinking. That night Tyler told one of his friends that he bludgeoned his parents with a hammer. He showed his friend the master bedroom and the blood that was in the room. The crime was then spread by word-of-mouth. Hadley was arrested early next morning.
