28-year-old Joel Michael Guy Jr., has now been charged with two counts of first degree murder for “the gruesome deaths of his parents.” The murder took place over Thanksgiving break in Knoxville, Tennessee. Guy not only killed but dismembered his family’s body. Pretty sick!
61-year-old Joel Michael Guy Sr. and 55-year-old Lisa Guy “suffered vicious stab wounds as well as dismemberment.” The coupled was reportedly tortured after being stabbed multiple times. The parents remains was scattered around in multiple rooms of their home. Their son tried to put “acid based solution in an attempt to destroy evidence.” The extent of the home was so bad that investigators had to use “specific bio-hazard equipment,” including hazmat suits. Joel Michael Guy Jr. was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he lives. Guy’s three sisters who also visited on Thanksgiving said nothing seemed unusual once they left. Guy withdrew from Louisiana State University last year, was unemployed and financially dependent on his parents. They planned to break the news on Thanksgiving that they were no longer going to be his financial sponsor.
Police are not sure if this is the real motive behind the murder but they are assuming so. The son refused to speak to police upon being arrested. Police checked on the home after Lisa did not show up to work. So sad.
