A Killer Teen Realizes He's Been Arrested | Forensic Files

hello my brother's attacking my family your dad is attacking your family [Music]
these were the chilling words of 12 year old Daniel James beaver As He begged for
the police to save him from his two older brothers who were running rampant throughout his house killing everybody
inside but less than a minute after the phone call began Daniel could be heard screaming and begging for his life until
the line went dead police arrived at the scene quickly and were greeted by a gruesome scene that had played out all
across the house blood was found smattered around the porch and a faint Cry for Help could be heard from inside
the flea came from 13 year old Crystal Beaver but everybody else in the house except for two-year-old Autumn was dead
one of these surviving beverage children a 13 year old girl saying her brothers were fascinated by mass killings for at
least a year police heard commotion near the back door of the property and discovered perpetrators Robert and
Michael Beaver covered in blood and and smiling as if they were proud of what they had done Robert was laughing and
told police that killing more than one person had turned him into a god unfortunately Robert's interrogation
tape was never released to the public but fifteen-year-old Michaels is fully available and gives us some insight into
what drove these boys to commit such a brutal crime I was hoping maybe you could kind of just go back at the
beginning when all this started and kind of tell me what happened a couple months
ago we started talking about running page and stuff like that okay seriously the first but then he started buying
like body armor and stuff where did he buy body armor from eBay Amazon Robert's room was found filled with weapons and
body armor including machetes hunting knives and daggers apparently they'd been collecting all of this for months
but when their sister Crystal told their mother about it she simply passed it off
as normal saying that boys will be boys and there's nothing to worry about she couldn't have been more wrong the guns
where do you start buying guns from um he bought them online I think the website's like a Bud's Gun Shop Amazon
he bought two coupons and a shotgun it's like a monster thing I think he bought 250 shotgun rounds
okay being a 65 close to a thousand rounds of the clocks wow okay where was he supposed to pick first by the ammunition
who's being shipped into the house knives and machetes were one thing but guns and over a thousand rounds of
ammunition are a completely different matter so once they'd ordered it to their house they knew that their parents
couldn't be home when it arrived but what did they even need all of these weapons for it doesn't take a thousand
bullets to kill five people well it turns out that the brothers had a much much bigger plan tell me more about
making plans and what you guys talked about making plans real applauded because you just like doesn't hit
anything Society is pointless and serious that he wanted to like beat like the amount of
other famous people like Colin button into James Eagan homes so did you guys have a goal do you have a number
he just wanted I thank you for another like 50. the two boys stayed up late most nights talking and scheming and
once they realized they were both separately interested in Murder the die was cast and from their perspective
there was no turning back the boys had grown a bond throughout their lives due to their living conditions their parents
April and David Beaver were somewhat abusive to their children they were homeschooled and even told not to
interact with children outside of their own family this left them alone with their own thoughts a lot of the time and
their only perspective of the outside world was the one that they'd formed in their own minds this is how they
developed such a negative outlook on society and what drove them to form the next part of their plan you picked a
date you said yeah which was yesterday yesterday house okay and then we pull the packages to
show up over the weekend they didn't take through your economy to have out of state with the guns so their plan was
set Michael even said their idea was to cut up and dismember the bodies of their
family and hide them in bins while they camped out waiting for the guns to arrive he even added the gruesome detail
that they only left Autumn alive because they had planned to decapitate her with
an ax a little while later but of course all of these ambitious plans fell at the
first hurdle so what was it that happened that night that caused everything to fall apart for the
brothers the murders began with Crystal who had entered their room at 11 30 pm on the 22nd of July 2015 to the site of
them gearing up with body armor and knives Michael lured her over to his computer and Robert slit her throat from
behind and so she fell down and started screaming yeah call the police get dead I think we came
over and started attacking who so he stabbed your mom with the same knife and we're ready to stab her I think in the
neck too at this point Crystal had managed to get up and stumble out of the door in an effort to escape but Michael
quickly followed her and dragged her back inside yeah she was still screaming and then
that's about the time Dad came down they got a little bit of a fight on the day eventually
did he cut his throat too the three eldest members of the family were now well and truly out of action with their
parents dead and Crystal's throat slit bleeding out on the porch they just left their four younger siblings the people
they thought would give them the least problems this is also where we rejoined the story from earlier and Daniel is on
the phone with police hitting in his room yeah shortly after Daniel 2 was stabbed 21
times in the back shoulder and chest the final two victims were hidden in locked
rooms but Michael managed to convince them that Robert was attacking him too this lured them out and the brothers
finished their attack by once more stabbing six-year-old Christopher and five-year-old Victoria to death
throughout this interview though Michael has been placing a huge amount of blame
on Robert even at points saying that he was just standing there letting Robert do all the work and that he was only
part of this in the first place because he knew Robert was going to do this anyway and he wanted to be on his good
side [Music] you know you stab somebody in the neck you know I mean I just kind of how do
you feel about what you've done now I I didn't like it I mean how do you feel about your mother you watched her get
stabbed you cut or throw it yourself and you watched her bleed all over the place
and scream how does that make you feel nice let's think about that unfortunately
though in his interview Robert had absolutely no concerns telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth
eventually clueing the cops in that Michael may have had a larger part than he originally let on the guys that are
interviewing Robert um I'm getting a quick version of what he's saying that you did yeah yeah and you
haven't told me everything okay so I know you're not being completely honest I'm just one of like hundreds of people
that are going to look at this thing we got the state police coming in and every
single stab wound that you inflicted we're gonna know about everybody's been stacked and you both had knives and we
know you both stabbed everybody so you guys are kind of at the same level who's going to be honest and make this right
and who's a liar okay which one do you want to be as is often the case this simple
rhetoric was all the cops needed to use to get Michael to open up and finally confess to being as big a part of the
murders as Robert was Michael admitted to slitting the throats of Crystal and his mother as well as stabbing
Christopher to death and as usual one confession led to another and we gained even deeper insight into the minds of
these Twisted teens you only stopped your family because they were in the way towards the bigger plan
this higher count is this a game it's a what kind of become famous kind of good it now fully comes to light that the
murderers truly weren't personal to any extent and that the entire reason for this Slaughter and any that would follow
was just for recognition and fame this became even more obvious when searches of the home revealed rolling
surveillance cameras and storage drives with all of their plans saved to them Robert later revealed that they plan to
make two videos one to taunt the police with and another to Post online the rest
of Michael's interview footage consists of him writing a statement that unfortunately was never publicized but
whatever it was that he wrote must have been pretty messed up as the detective watching over him couldn't even finish
reading it and reacted like this of course at trial neither of the boys stood much of a chance yet Michael
attempted to plead not guilty on the grounds of insanity however it didn't go so well for either of them and they were
both given five life sentences without the possibility of parole the surviving children Crystal and Autumn were adopted
by the same couple but the fact remains that this once large yet reclusive family now exists solely as a foul
Legend on the conscience of every person that lives in the erstwhile peaceful town of Broken Arrow

This Teenage Killer is one of the most evil 15 year olds to date - and after committing his crime, attempts to shift all the blame towards his brother, but soon the truth comes to light..
