AN AMERICAN father made a chilling phone call just moments before he and his wife were allegedly murdered by one of their sons.
Steven Standley, 55, and his wife Theresa, 56, were allegedly killed by their son Jared Standley in their Washington home on Wednesday, March 14 local time.
Charging papers say Jared apparently beat his mother to death and fatally shot his father about a week after he was kicked out of their home.
Just minutes before their brutal deaths, Steven called their other son to warn him that 21-year-old Jared had returned unexpectedly.
“If you don’t hear from me in 15 minutes, call 911,” the father said, according to court documents.
After 20 minutes and no response, the son called police and requested a welfare check on his parents’ home.
When police arrived they found both parents dead and believed that the gunman had tried to hide the bodies as one was wrapped up in a tarp, KOMO News reported.
Jared, 21, was not at the house when authorities arrived but was later arrested after he allegedly drove at a Thurston County sheriff’s sergeant and was shot in the shoulder.
He reportedly told police that he killed his parents “because he hates them that much”, according to charging documents filed in Pierce County Superior Court.
Court documents revealed that Jared said he beat his mother to death with a bat and covered her body with a tarp while he waited for his dad to come home.
He allegedly told police that he was hoping to kill his father quietly inside but when the 55-year-old ran in and tried to shut the door behind him, Jared shot his father through the head through the stained glass on window on the door, the court papers said.
“I don’t feel like a gunshot to the head is really that upsetting,” he allegedly told detectives. “But, I was fairly apologetic about having to bludgeon Terry twice.”
The 21-year-old has pleaded not guilty to two counts of aggravated murder and was ordered to be held without bail.
