He Killed His Mother for Heaven's Sake!

Gulf Coast Confidential with Mollye Barrows

On Christmas Eve in 2013, on one of the most sacred holidays of the Christian calendar, 17-year-old Brandon Aydelott hacked, beat, and stomped his mother to death in the doorway of her Gulf Breeze, Florida home without warning. He left the popular middle school science teacher in a pool of her own blood with two knife blades embedded in her skull, among other gruesome injuries.

The teen was found not guilty by reason of insanity for the crime and his mother's family thought he would stay in custody at Florida's psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. Yet Brandon Aydelott spent the ten year anniversary of killing his mommy close to home at the Santa Rosa County Jail, because the Department of Children and Families said he "no longer meets the criteria for continued commitment" at Florida State Hospital.
Join me for a conversation with Sharon Aydelott's sister who says the news comes as a painful disappointment, especially when they were told he would likely never get out, because "he killed his mother for heaven's sake!"
