Can Partying be a Motive for Parricide? | Tyler Hadley Case Analysis 

It sounded like the mom tried her best to help her son. What a shame.

Tyler: "I killed somebody." Mark: "You killing somebody is your business." I laughed an inappropriate amount at this.

I grew up in PSL. Still here, unfortunately. I was 16 when this happened, and had been sent the address to this party. If I hadn’t been down in the Florida keys with my friends family I likely would have gone. I knew of Tyler Hadley, he was what we refer to here in FL as a “baser”, or heavy drug user. Mark Andrews is one of my closest friends older brother. PSL is a very strange city, especially as a teen. There’s nothing to do but cause trouble and party. RIP Blake and MaryJo, she was a teacher at my elementary school and a very sweet lady.

Why do I feel that "good" parenting is such a slim line! Too much or too little of so many things ( discipline, guidance, involvement, leniency, expectations, disinterest, etc.) as well as fielding medical decisions and meanwhile working what may be a full time job yourself! Often both parents won't even agree on what is right! Makes my head hurt!

"Less murder is almost always a good idea if one wants to build a healthy and productive community" - I agree.

Unfortunately back in high school 30 years ago our weekends revolved around "where's the party". We were however very respectful of property and besides an occasional accident, never dreamed of trashing anything. I think that's mob mentality. Once someone starts flipping out, everyone else wants in.

I wonder what his thought process was during this whole thing. He cared about a mail box but not about his own parents? They tried to get him help but was it not enough? Those poor parents. Also, those cops must have stunned. Just showing up to a regular party and finding two dead bodies. Thanks for the video, Dr Grande! ❤️ Fascinating case.

Thank you for your analysis! There sure is a lot going on in this case. It's really unfortunate. A kid who showed signs of depression seems to have set off his mother's fears and insecurities and I wonder if she went a little overboard. I think it's ridiculous to give your child HGH because you're worried they will be short and have low self esteem. Daily counseling and multiple medications at such a young age sounds like the mother needed more help dealing with her fear. It seems like all this kid has known is to take drugs to change the way he feels, soooooo what did he do? I think this case has so much more than just a teen who wanted to party. He has serious issues, and we can't really say what caused them. Sad all around.

An out of control party would definitely not be exciting for me… even if it wasn’t my house, I’d be an anxious mess - so you win Dr. Grande! I guess I have to back off from my past comment about the system failing people who have mental health problems. His parents recognized there was an issue an acted on it. RIP, Mr. & Mrs. Hadley. You tried.

His mother didn't notice him standing behind her with a hammer for 5 minutes? She must have been really focussed on her work

The bit about staring in the mirror and laughing at his reflection made me wonder if he saw himself as the Joker or an equivalent antihero … Tyler’s grasp on reality was very tenuous. Great analysis and an excellent choice of cases, Dr. Grande!

Tyler looks remarkably different in each photo. I assume the meds had an effect on weight gain.

This is what happens when someone takes the Beastie Boys Song "Fight for your right to party" way too seriously.

I vote for your analysis over Tyler’s Lord of the Flies party. I was really struck (sorry) by Tyler standing behind his mother for 5 minutes contemplating. So disturbing!

Tyler was out here desperately trying to confess to murder and noooo one at this party was having it

"You throw a killer party, dude!"

Such a sad case, it’s disturbing that the people he confessed to at the party did not alert the authorities. Great analysis Dr. Grande, and may I say you look quite spiffy in that dress shirt! ☺️

As someone who loves her parents very much and whose Dad is now isolated in the hospital, it hits me more harder than before when I see such family tragedies... I thank you for analyzing this case sensitive and not like the Yellow Press, Dr. Grande 💞❣ 💞

The destructiveness at Tyler’s party reminded me of the party described in “Our Guys” by Bernard Lefkowitz, a 1997 book about the sexual assault of a mentally disabled girl by four high-school football players back in the eighties. The party wasn’t related to the assault, but was described in graphic detail to give another example of a culture where no one was ever held responsible for crimes if they were among the town’s elite (athletic, wealthy kids). Not that anyone can imagine a culture like that today, I’m sure.

High on ecstasy while cleaning up his parents bodies and blood!? Omg I can’t even imagine. The empathy you feel when on ecstasy I can’t believe that he wouldn’t have felt overwhelmingly bad for what he had done before the party started. And the panic. Idk. These stories just really get me how people can be this evil.

That sad he cared more about what his peers think then the lives of his parents. Great video Dr Grande!!!

Super heartbreaking case💔. The agony which the brother went through is beyond belief. Thanks doctor for good lessons and happy Monday🧡.

Thanks for your analysis, Dr. G. This shows how frighteningly powerful the peer group is. Kids need appropriately enforced discipline + compassion to feel loved and secure. This case made me feel sick.

Some individuals are just worthless, no matter what you do to help them.

Am I the only person who has to start Todd's videos over about a minute in, because you realize you weren't listening well enough? I'm just focusing on taking in the background (what's new? what's moved) and of course, our favorite doctor and his always-flattering wardrobe.

It’s Grande time. Always a great time.

Tyler killed both his parents after taking three pills of Ecstasy?! Man, he had some serious demons.

There's a lot of crazy sh!t going down in Florida, always. I had never heard of this case, but leave it to Dr. Grande to find the good stuff!

I love your dry humor. "As apposed to some cow mooing class" lmfaoooo also " less murder is almost always a good thing" too funny man

I'm wondering how many couples that were planning to have children are rethinking their options. A dog 🐕 will love you unconditionally and most likely incapable of murder. Great analysis Dr. G! 🌵🌵🌵🌵

I am so glad my son has been near perfect since he was born. Be grateful for what you have.

You know the world is moving too fast when the mention of "2011" makes you struggle to think how primitive cellphone technology was at that time

Hi Dr. grande I don't remember if I made this request, but can you please analyze Armando Caballero's case (Miya Marcano's disappearance and very possible murder)? I knew this 19 year old woman, she went to my middle and high school, and she deserves to have awareness spread about, along with justice to her family. We weren't close friends, but I'd like another perspective on it

14:44 Dry sarcasm at the very end! Very nice, Dr Grande👌

I don't understand how he could be so violent while on Ecstasy, is he so devoid of Empathy, even MDMA can't bring it out.

13:28 Tyler killed his parents hours before the party. There's no way in the world that their bodies would have a smell from decomposition. Now if you said there was a strong smell of blood in the house, that would have made better sense.

Always nice to start the day off with Grande time, or in reality, finish the day for myself, being on nightshift and all lol

It’s interesting how drugs can have such different effects on certain individuals. My understanding is that ecstasy is a drug that gives most the “Love everyone too much “ affect. Tyler would fit into the certain individual’s category. He loved his parents to death.

This is an extremely sad case. It makes me wonder if he would have committed this crime if drugs weren’t involved, namely the ecstasy he took before killing his parents. I am not saying that he did it because of the drugs but rather I feel that the combination of mental illness with drug use is always disastrous. The same goes for the party guests, would they behave in that reprehensible manner without the alcohol? I also think that supervision is paramount for teenagers, a lot of bad things can potentially be avoided if they properly supervised. Thank you for the wonderful review Dr. Grande.❤️

There was a case like this in my area 30 years ago. The parents were in the compost pile while the barbecue took place on the lawn. They had previously said “no” to his request for permission to have the party. Ooops! Went violent.

I also felt that laughing in the mirror seemed diabolical...I do believe that evil exists.

I was gobsmacked when I heard this story the first time. So senseless and so much destruction. And yes, less murder sounds like a good call to me. 👍

Less murder, good...truer words✌️💙

You should be in the ASMR category, love the soft spoken stories 💕

Some of the smallest most boring towns I know had the worst drink and drug problems, I think parents want to settle down somewhere quiet at that point in their life and dont realise what a negative effect isolation has on teenagers. In my partying days I knew a guy in his early 20's who used to sit with his Mother and do ecstasy, small town problems. Actually now i think of it these little towns and villages also had a really high suicide problem of the under 30's as well which possibly is related to these issues.

This is a sad story.

Please do the grim sleeper. He was a mechanic for the LACity sanitation department Los Angeles serial killer.

never been this early!! always excited for a new upload. you rock dr. grande. Would love to hear your thoughts on The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk. Hope you have a great day!

This is case is so completely bonkers that I can't even comprehend how horrible it is. It just doesn't seem real 😳

I grew up with rich kids. When someone throws a party that kids don't know or don't respect, the trash the house and steal valuables. It's par for the course.

I definitely found the analysis as exciting as an out of control party.

He just proved he’s not a cool guy; I’m sorry for the parents really. Always the best with Dr.Todd Grande 🫀🤍

One of the few channels I can watch without headphones while my son naps 😌

Certainly not, but I appreciate doctor's asking. 🙂 How polite is this.

Why the heck would they change it to “possibility of parole”? This guy should never be in public. He’s clearly a danger.

Have you looked into the Daniel Robinson missing person case in AZ? Really odd . Needs more coverage . ❤

The "less murder ... good ..." comment with your dry delivery ... 😅😅😅🎯 Great stuff as usual. Dr. G. ... do you have any thoughts on certain kids are just "unfixable"? Also, do you think giving this guy parole is a bad idea? Ty again! 👍

Awesome analysis!

Best argument for being childfree.

I once went to a party. Everyone was well-behaved. Years later, either that house, or a neighbouring one, played host to a murder. No party was involved.

Thanks for the good video again.

I enjoyed listening to this and was telling my son, so we both sad and listened to it again. So much unbelievable stuff in here .. how he murdered his parents in cold blood and then has a wild party and the house is trashed, and then that same night feels remorse.. just crazy. Good job telling it Dr Grande!

Omg this case has always stuck out to me. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

Murders done for childish, petty reasons makes me feel like vomiting.

I always love your content Dr. Grande!! Best youtube channel available!

I heard about this crime through a song titled “Tyler Hadley” by SKYND (pronounced ‘skinned’), they write/create songs on true crime

You are as exciting as an out-of-control teenage party. Especially your dry sarcasm!🤪

Growing up in France, we all drank legally from age 16 on. We occasionally got drunk but it rarely degenerated into a drinking orgy. I was amazed when I saw how drunk American students could get as soon as they had the opportunity. I think it's healthier to integrate moderate drinking into a teen's life rather than going from strict prohibition to no boundary at all. From puritanism to excess.

Brilliant analysis as always. Thank you Dr Grande.

I always learn more details and information watching your channel than I've seen watching/ reading other sources about the same people and events countless times.

Always enjoy watching your videos.. Excellent analysis...

Dr.G leave just enough time after he introduces himself for us to say hi back! Love that! Although maybe unintentionally

Thank you Dr. Grande for yet another wonderful analysis. I remember this case when it happened back in the summer of 2011. I really have thought peer pressure along with a rather under-supported home environment where it came to feeling accepted, loved and encouraged were at work here...a small town, really just a collection of boring housing subdivisions, with no real community for teenage persons to fit in and feel like they matter.... those kind of environments will make teens become anxious all the more and feel like if they are not accepted by their peers, they are hopeless. I grew up in era before much home internet, let alone cell phones and social media so I really can not say how those might have played into the local teen culture, but I do recall in my time as one, early 90s, peer pressure was definitely present and it was very significant. And THAT aspect I think was key here...but I also see even as of 2022, articles I have read on this case was he showed no apparent remorse for his actions even after being sent to prison. (He claims now he does, but he also was shown to had signed many 'autographs' for other prisoners, plus writing "It's Hammer Time" on newspaper article cutouts on his own case....and was known as Hammer Boy in prison. So, the desperate need for acceptance never stopped.

WOW!! Lookin’ good with your wardrobe choices lately Mr. G! Excellent show and analysis once again. 😘

Cheers! New vid can't wait to see this one

You are doing a great public service. Thank you for these.

Another great analysis.

Almost 1mill subs congrats Dr! Always love your channel, Ton of info

“…less murder is almost always a good idea…” Thank you for that line, Dr. Made my night!

I love your work and joined your Patreon! I’d love to see you cover the Sarah Everard case. It’s definitely a big deal over here in the uk!

Very exciting story, Dr. Grande! Thank you for your expert commentary. ✌🏻💜😇

Great sense of humor!!

Arson is apart of “some” triad if I recall.

Keep up the good content Grande!!✌🙏

I seldom feel the need to party but when I hear KC & The 🌞 Sunshine Band I just can't help myself! 📻 🎶💃🕺💐🍾🍷🍷

Dr. Grande you are amazing. I learned a parenting lesson You we're hilarious!!! With a very scary sad story. I laughed out loud

Great one Dr G! And this kid was put on anti-depression meds AT 10 yrs old??? His brain was not even half developed yet? Idk? NOT THE BEST START for a child of 10 HENCE the murders! RIP PARENTS 💖💖💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'll choose an analysis by Dr. Grande over an out-of -control "party' any day... 😊

One of my favorite shirts. Great job. Such a sad case.

“He was offended by someone stealing the mail but not concerned about the 2 bodies he had in the master bedroom 😔 and that he killed his parents! you know sadly, there are many cases like this one but not all of them end in murder. Dr Grande I wonder about the mental health process of children that kill their parents

What a sad case of parental homicide. This makes me wonder if the dynamic between the parents and the son was a situation of blurred boundaries and too much yes answers in life? If a kid/ child does not hear the word no when they are younger, then they may test the parents boundaries. Just as saying no too much can cause a teen to revolt. We can only speculate and ask questions about what went wrong in this family picture. Thank you 🤔❤🇺🇸

Okay...I'm a little freaked out... Our dream was to move to Florida. Our dream came true three months ago! HOORAY! (?) As a fan of Dr. Grande and other "true crime" types of media, I'm seeing that our dream may have actually been a nightmare. It seems that many of these types of stories take place in Florida. Yikes!

I am so shocked by the friend who SAW the corpses, then continued to party for 45 minutes, and finally left and called the police. I am glad he did alert the police but I can't imagine just staying there and taking selfies with my homicidal, unhinged friend. Maybe he thought the selfies and pictures of the party would be worth a bit of money to newspapers, news websites, etc the next day after the police broke the news to the public? I guess I'm not surprised that the friends of the weird mooing boy in high-school are also a bit strange, too.

Thanks, Doc.

Woowee. Scary stuff, doc. Thanks for creeping me out per usual!

Man Dr G, I have a 5 year old daughter w issues and you scare the ish out of me with these.

Dr. Grande, I’d absolutely choose your analyses over any party.

Dr Grande always delivers! What a twisted case.😳But I like your theory doc! Thank you for your analysis!💖💖

I can't say I'd ever thought of the question. I'm right at the outset, but I'm guessing that yes, it can be a reason

"....young people require supervision.." I so agree. Their brains aren't even fully developed in the very important region of the brain. Great video, Dr. Grande! Thank you again for all your unstoppable hard work and devotion!! ♡♡
