Discretion is advised. This is ten minute murder. On Sunday, July twenty
0:28
first, twenty thirteen, a couple pulled their car off the road while driving
0:33
through a suburban neighborhood in South Carolina. They got out of the vehicle and
0:38
popped the hood open, then stood and waited nearby for help. It wasn't
0:42
long before two people came to the rescue. A mechanic named Charles Parker lived
0:47
in the house that the couple had stopped outside of, and he hoped that
0:51
he and his wife, Gretchen would be able to help them with their car
0:55
troubles. For a period of around ten minutes, the Parkers casually check added
1:00
to the other couple, seeming relaxed and at ease. Then they appeared to
1:06
invite them inside their home. The security camera footage of the Parkers walking inside
1:10
with the other couple was the last time either Charles or Gretchen Parker were seen
1:15
alive. On Monday, one of Charles's clients came to the house hoping to
1:21
have his car fixed. He walked up to the front door, noticing that
1:25
it had been left open, but nobody appeared to be inside. The client
1:30
called the police who discovered the bodies of Charles and Gretchen shortly after they arrived
1:34
on the scene. It was clear that neither of the Parkers had died of
1:38
natural causes. Both had been stabbed and shot multiple times, but the initial
1:44
investigation into the deaths was delayed by an unexpected hazard, a small herd of
1:49
vicious chihuahuas owned by the Parkers. When the paramedics attempted to enter the home
1:56
and check whether Charles and Gretchen were still alive, the chihuahuas began advancing on
2:00
them, barking and growling. Unable to calm the dogs, emergency responders had
2:06
to wait several hours for animal control officers to arrive and get the situation under
2:09
control. Ultimately, animal control removed almost twenty dogs from the property, as
2:16
well as six chickens and a couple of cats. Shortly after they arrived on
2:21
the property, investigators noticed that Charles and Gretchen had erected a bright yellow sign
2:27
outside their house which read smile You're on camera. It turned out that the
2:31
Parkers had surveillance cameras which constantly monitored the outside of their home, including the
2:37
street outside, and it was the footage from these cameras that showed the anonymous
2:42
couple parking their car outside. A team of law enforcement officers watched the tape,
2:47
and they paused when they saw the Parkers appearing to invite a couple inside
2:52
their house. There were no camera angles that showed the inside of the house,
2:55
but it was clear while the couple had entered with the Parkers, they
3:00
later walked out alone, and the Parkers had not gone outside again. Despite
3:06
the poor quality of the surveillance footage, one officer recognized the couple immediately and
3:10
was able to remember their names. The last people to see Charles and Gretchen
3:15
Parker alive had been a pair of white supremacists named Jeremy and Christine Moody.
3:21
It wasn't hard to identify Jeremy. He happened to have some very distinctive tattoos
3:27
on his neck and head. Bold lettering on the top of his scalp spelled
3:30
out White Power, while underneath his chin he had a tattoo with the word
3:36
skinhead, which stretched across almost the entire width of his throat. When Jeremy
3:42
Moody was arrested for the murders, he confessed almost instantly. He told the
3:46
arresting officers that they'd caught him just in time because later that day he planned
3:52
on murdering another sex offender on the register. That's how investigators learned the true
3:57
motive of the seemingly random crime. For whatever reason, Jeremy and Christine were
4:02
on a mission to track down and brutally murder sex offenders in South Carolina.
4:08
Charles Parker had been almost a complete stranger to Jeremy and Christine, but after
4:13
learning that Charles had been charged with sexual crimes against a child, they had
4:17
decided to kill him. Ten years before his death, Charles Parker had been
4:23
charged with third degree criminal sexual conduct, which had meant that he had needed
4:27
to be registered as a sex offender. The Union County Sheriff, David Taylor,
4:31
was familiar with the charges against Charles, saying that Charles always made an
4:35
effort to register on time and never caused any trouble. As well as the
4:40
criminal sexual misconduct charge in two thousand and three, where the victim had been
4:45
a woman in her thirties, Charles had also been convicted for sexually assaulting a
4:48
miner in the nineteen nineties. Jeremy told the sheriff that He'd planned to kill
4:53
Charles for a long time, and had almost gone through with the crime the
4:57
previous year, but he'd lost his norse. Instead, he'd waited, and
5:01
on Sunday, July twenty first, he decided that now was the time.
5:06
He and Christine had agreed that they would park outside Charles's home and pretend that
5:11
their car had broken down, believing that the mechanic would be generous enough to
5:15
invite them inside. Once inside the home, Jeremy and Christine had revealed their
5:19
weapons and told Charles, quote, you think I'm here to rob you,
5:24
but I'm not here to rob you. I'm here to kill you because you
5:27
are a child molester. Then the Moodies fatally stabbed and shot both Charles and
5:32
Gretchen. Gretchen had no history of crimes against children, but killing her was
5:38
simply convenient for Jeremy and Christine. They didn't want to leave a witness to
5:42
the crime alive. While in Boncourt, both Jeremy and Christine stated that they
5:46
were members of Crew forty one, a small but violently racist group of white
5:51
supremacist skinheads. Crew forty one was created by online recruitment, and its members
5:58
often romanticized the idea of killing off pedophiles and other sex offenders. Throughout their
6:03
trial, both Jeremy and Christine appeared to be remorseful for their crimes, but
6:09
it quickly became clear that they were faking remorse in an attempt to get sympathy
6:14
from the jury. Both Jeremy and Christine pleaded guilty to all of the charges
6:17
against them, two counts of murder, kidnapping, first degree burglary, possessing
6:23
a firearm while carrying out a violent crime. They attempted to appeal to the
6:28
jury by blaming the crimes on a history of mental health issues, as well
6:32
as each experiencing sexual abuse when they were both younger. Their attorney was attempting
6:38
to push for a sentence of only thirty years in prison, whereas the prosecution
6:42
aiming at life sentences. Jeremy expressed his regret for what he had done,
6:47
telling the court quote, not a day goes by that I don't regret the
6:51
incidents. What happened, and I know what I've done is a sin.
6:56
Christine went even further in her display of remorse, even reading passages is directly
7:00
from the Bible and claiming I truly believe that God has forgiven Jeremy and I.
7:04
I hope you do too. I'll leave bother that hope rid. I
7:13
don't know what I've done to see him. I believe that God has given
7:16
me of it. I'll look forward to though about all of everything can matter.
7:20
My children, my wife, and my family on the right educations will
7:26
have never had. Please have mercy on Christy to I so we can still
7:29
have a chance to rule together usin why the Bible clearly stay, stop,
7:33
shown not kill. I'm sorry I wrote that, man, but I truly
7:39
believe God is forgi me. I hope you want to do. Our creature
7:44
has taught me a lot. One of those things mean that mercy will show
7:47
up. I am here todayd that from mercy come my love, be husband
7:51
and myself. So Jeremy and I will have an opportunity to grow all together
7:56
and spend time with our children, and I'll holding our friends your honor,
8:01
Lucy the German ire sense to the same sentence of thirty years never kissing my
8:07
husband or feeling his touch again. In my very worst Dictorius Judge Lee Alfred
8:18
didn't believe that Jeremy and Christine's remorse was authentic. They might have been saying
8:22
all the right things, but their behavior told a different story. While he
8:26
handed them a life sentence each, he told them I saw you smiling at
8:31
each other in court. As soon as they were both found guilty and sentenced
8:35
to life in prison, their demeanor changed instantly, and they no longer showed
8:39
any signs of remorse. While Jeremy was being led out of the courtroom in
8:43
handcuffs, he addressed the courtroom saying, quote, see you perverts later.
8:48
That's what child molesters get. While Christine Moody was being led to the patrol
8:52
car that would transport her to prison, she gave a short statement to the
8:56
media, proudly saying, I have no regrets. Killing that pedophile was the
9:01
best day of my life. She also claimed that she believed her bond with
9:07
her husband would only get stronger with imprisonment, saying that they had a love
9:11
that would withstand the length of time in jail. Her husband, Jeremy,
9:15
shared the same sentiment, proudly stating, child molesters don't deserve to live.
9:20
If I had it to do all over again, I'd kill more. A
9:24
reporter confronted Christine about her absence of remorse, asking whether she had been lying
9:28
in court when she claimed that she regretted killing Charles, she didn't make any
9:33
effort to pretend otherwise, answering no, it's not true, and admitting that
9:37
her lawyer had asked her to say those things to gain the jury's sympathy.
9:41
When she was asked the follow up question about whether she had anything she wanted
9:46
to say to Charles's family, she simply answered, may they die? Also,
9:50
those were the last words to the media before the doors of the police
9:54
car closed and she was driven away. John Molester did not deserve to live.
10:00
They got a tacoot. They deserve had to do it over again.
10:03
I kill more. What about what you said in quote about repenting? Is
10:07
that not true? Then? No, it's not true. My lawyer maybe
10:09
said, do you have anything to say to the victims family? Maybe die?
10:13
