On January 25, 2019, a man in the United States ** his whole family overnight, and the reason turned out to be because he was infatuated with a female anchor. According to the **investigation, the man is almost obsessed with a female anchor of a certain **, and spends a lot of money every day on the performance of the other party. But the problem is that he is a gnawing old man, and he has no ability to continue to consume, so he has a ** thought, how attractive is this female anchor to make an adult man do such a thing for her?
Gretel, 29 years old at the time of the crime, was born into a middle-class family in Florida. Both parents are middle- and high-income successful people, mother Margaret is a senior manager in the sales department of a pharmaceutical company, and father Richard is a senior pharmacist, and the couple have two sons, the eldest son Cody and the younger son Gretel.
Since the age difference between the two brothers is less than two years, the two are not only very similar in appearance, but also very close. When I grew up, I applied for the same university and obtained a certificate of anesthesiologist qualification. With the help of their parents, the brothers were offered a job as anesthesiologists, and if nothing else, they would be in the same middle- and high-income group as their father in ten years.
However, Gerritt seems to have a restless gene in his bones, and was sued by his employer in March 2017 for stealing ***. However, because Gretel's parents are well-connected, Gretel did not go to jail for this, but was released after paying a high amount of bail. But after this incident, Gerrit never found a job again, and no hospital dared to hire him, and his career as an anesthesiologist was completely over.
At this time, Margaret encouraged Gretel with her own experience, but the mother obviously did not understand the young son who had been raised since childhood. Gerrit has always been arrogant, asking him to be a low-level service staff, he can't accept it at all, and he has no other skills. So he began to become depressed, and in order to escape from reality, he cut off all interpersonal communication, locked himself in the house, no longer went out, and became a complete otaku.
Because he was so lonely, he began to look for solace on the Internet. In August 2018, Gretel logged on to a live broadcast** and met a Bulgarian female anchor named Sylvia. She has outstanding appearance, a high-profile figure, and is known as the waist essence, and every performance is extremely beautiful, which immediately attracts Gretel's attention.
But Sylvia performances are charged, averaging about $10 per minute and $600 an hour, and Gretel obviously can't afford such an expensive live stream. So he deceived his parents and said that he was going to open a game account to make money by live broadcasting, and he needed some investment in the early stage to attract traffic. Although the parents didn't understand the live broadcast of games, they were very happy to see their son ready to welcome a new life, and immediately handed over the credit card to their son.
After getting the money, Gerrit would wait on time every night for Sylvia's performance in the live broadcast room. Due to Gretel's generosity, he soon received Sylvia's special attention, and the one-on-one interaction between the two began to increase. As the number of solo performances increases, the two people become more familiar and have more private chats with each other.
The unabastic chat content made Grete feel that he was in love, and in the process he was completely infatuated with Sylvia, and every time Sylvia chatted with Gretel, he seemed to be very understanding and respectful of him, which happened to be what Grett lacked the most now. inadvertently put Gretel in a high position, making him feel embarrassed not to spend money for her in the future.
Confronted by Sylvia, Gretel lied that she was a successful esports player with her own villa and a Cadillac. And in order to maintain his successful image, he spent more money in the next month, spending $400,000 on Sylvia in just three months, directly maxing out his parents' credit cards. When the bank came to collect the money, Gretel's parents knew what their son had spent all his money on during this time.
But the old couple has always loved this little son the most, and after scolding a few words, they both chose to forgive him, and sold part of the family property in order to repay the debt, and they were even more worried about Gretel's psychological problems. Obviously, in their eyes, no amount of money is more important than Gretel's health. So his brother Cody immediately asked the company for a long vacation, and took his younger brother to Japan for a trip in December 2018 at his own expense, accompanied by a friend of Kodi.
But as soon as the evening came, Gretel started to become distracted, because Sylvia's live broadcast time was approaching, and he missed Sylvia. After her brother and friends left, Gerrit secretly took Cody's friend's credit card for consumption, and used her mobile phone to ** Sylvia's live broadcast. Kodi's friend's credit card was linked to his mobile phone, so he soon received a 600 yuan consumption record. In order to protect his brother, Cody hopes that his friend will not call the police, and promises to help his brother return the money. The tour also lost its nature of continuing, and eventually did not return.
Later, after Gretel's father learned about his son's theft of money, he did not have a fierce conflict with his son, and drove Gretel out of the house in a fit of anger. So, Gretel, who had no money and no place to live, went to her aunt's house. But two days later, my aunt also found that there was more than $10,000 in consumption on the account for no reason, and after checking, I found out that it was Grett who stole her credit card to watch Sylvia's live broadcast, so she immediately called Grett's father ** to explain the situation.
Richard begged his aunt not to call the police, to give the child a chance, and promised to pay the money back. In this way, Gretel's trouble was once again solved with the help of his family. But after these few incidents, the father Richard realized that his son's problem was far more serious than he thought. So he spent $15,000 to send Gretel to a nice ** center for a 30-day psychological **.
During this time in Gretel**, his father Richard logged in to the live broadcast** with Gretel's account and sent a message to Sylvia, saying that Gretel was not a successful esports player at all, and he used the money he stole from his family to watch your live broadcast, and hoped that you would not contact Gretel again in the future. After receiving this message, Sylvia didn't think about it in her heart, as if she had expected it, and only replied with a good word.
On January 5, 2019, Gretel went home, and he only stayed for 14 days before claiming to have been completely**. His father, Richard, didn't take him too seriously, but made a three-chapter covenant with Gretel, first, he was not allowed to use the Internet at night after that, and second, he had to find a job as soon as possible. The third and most important point is that it is not allowed to have any dealings with Sylvia. Eventually, Richard confiscated Grett's phone and replaced it with an old-fashioned phone with no internet access, and finally emptied his computer and installed a surveillance software.
On January 24, 2019, Gretel asked her mother to allow her to use her smartphone while her father was not at home, saying that she wanted to say her final goodbye to Sylvia and promised her that she would never spend a penny on Sylvia. The mother was soft-hearted and couldn't stand her son's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally gave the phone to Gretel. After logging into his account, he found a message sent by his father to Sylvia, and then he realized that Sylvia already knew his true situation, and his personality had already collapsed. You must know that Gretel is a very good-looking person, especially in front of the woman he loves, so the moment he learned that the lie was exposed, he was a little annoyed and angry, and he had a trace of hatred for his father.
Gretel finally contacted Sylvia and promised that she would work hard in the future to become her ideal. But in Sylvia's eyes, Grett was just a customer, so she didn't want to entangle with him anymore. She said euphemistically, I believe that you will definitely get better in the future, but no one should live up to the expectations of your family, since your family does not want us to interact again, then we will not contact us for the time being.
Sylvia originally wanted to get out of this relationship with dignity, but in Gretel's opinion, it meant something else. Grett thinks that Sylvia still likes her, but she has to refuse to contact her because of her family's obstruction. So the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and it also bought the foreshadowing for his later crimes.
On January 25, 2019, the police department received a call from a colleague of Cody**. So at 9:18 a.m., I came to Cody's house to check the situation, and no one responded after knocking on the door for a long time, so I broke down the door directly, and suddenly a tragic picture appeared in front of them.
In the kitchen, Richard was found with two bullets in his body lying in a pool of blood, in the bedroom, his mother Margaret was found lying in front of the computer, and finally, the body of his brother Cody was found in the underground garage, with a bullet hole in his chest and head, and a nine-millimeter pistol in his hand. After testing, the pistol in Cody's hand was the murder weapon that killed his parents, so some people deduced that Cody should have committed suicide after killing his parents.
But this speculation was soon overturned, as more sophisticated forensic tests concluded that Cody had been shot at least a metre away. In other words, Cody was also killed rather than killed, and apparently someone else. In the end, **began to look for clues left by ** at the scene of the crime, and only found the fingerprints of this family of four in the entire room, so Gretel, who was not at the scene, became the biggest suspect.
On the evening of January 26, 2019, ** found Gerrit in a hotel and arrested him. In the face of police interrogation, Gretel behaved very frankly, he confessed that he stole money, cheated money, and also explained Sylvia's affairs, and even did not hide the quarrel with his father, but refused to admit that he had killed someone.
However, ** finds a pair of black gloves on the route of Grett's escape, and proves that the gloves belong to Gretel himself. Forensic tests showed that there was gunpowder residue on it, and it was consistent with the gunpowder residue at the crime scene, which means that Gretel must have worn this pair of gloves and fired a gun at the crime scene.
In court, ** cited a lot of evidence about Gretel's killing of the whole family, and restored the entire process of his ** on the spot. Glitter was supposed to have killed her mother from behind between 4:44 and 5 a.m. that day. Then the father who heard the gunshots subconsciously prepared to go to the kitchen to get a knife to defend himself, and at this moment, Gerrit rushed in and shot his father on the spot. As for his brother Cody, he was supposed to have been killed around ten o'clock in the evening. At that time, Gerrit should have been hiding in the garage, waiting for his brother to get out of the car and then shoot him to death, and then shoot him in the head, and finally disguise himself as a suicide in fear of crime.
In the end, after an eight-hour trial in the case, the jury unanimously convicted Gretel of three first-degree ** counts and sentenced him to life-proof sentence without parole. However, this seems to be a case of lust and obsession, but in fact it is a tragedy caused by a typical family education deviation. Parents should not always work their children's studies or work, they should take the cultivation of children's abilities as the main goal, when a person has self-discipline and correct values, he already has the ability to learn and judge, and the future road has been fully mastered.
