Our killer fell in love and married a woman named Teresa, “Teri” for short. So, life went on, and Charlie was able to put the entire thing behind him in 1984 the young killer had earned a degree in electronics, and in 1989 he moved to the Florida Keys – Big Pine Key, to be exact. Charlie’s oldest sister, on the other hand, would later state that she’d always felt uneasy around the neither who’d attempted to steal her life. Upon his release Charlie’s father insisted that the teen remain part of the family, and he was adamant that Charlie’s two younger siblings would never know that their big brother had been responsible for Mama Ilse’s murder. Incredibly, Charlie was never brought up on criminal charges for what he’d done instead he was forced to spend a single year in a psych ward, then released into his unconditionally loving father’s custody.

The creepy part, doctors could find no mental illness there had been absolutely no history of childhood abuse, no trauma, nor had anyone noticed any red flags which may have warned of something sinister on the horizon.

Sister Angela’s accounting of what happened the night her brother committed murder. Their daddy survived the attempted murder, but Mama and her unborn baby did not. 9th grade photo of Charlie BrandtĪngela would later say that it felt like Charlie had been in some sort of a trance or something, because he suddenly just snapped out of it and let his little sister go the girl was able to run away and notify police. Charlie overpowered his older sister, he wrapped his fingers around her neck and began to squeeze. He aimed the gun at the teen, but for whatever reason the weapon wouldn’t fire a physical struggle ensued. Charlie then focused his attention on his then 15 year old sister, Angela, who had been in her bedroom.

She was shot multiple times one of those bullets hit the unborn baby boy in the head, he died instantly. On the evening of January 3rd of 1971, 13 year old Charlie walked into his parents bathroom where his father, Herbert, had been shaving and his 8 month pregnant mother, Ilse, was bathing the young man shot his father in the back, then turned his firearm on his mother.
