He met Tammy Jo through his mother, and they began dating in the spring of 2014; by June he had moved into her house. Her friends looked him up, found his record and warned her, and later grew suspicious when she became withdrawn. On the weekend before 10 September 2014 he assaulted her. On the Monday she told a co-worker, stayed away from home and sent him a message ending the relationship, saying that no one gets to terrify her the way he had on the Sunday, and telling him to collect his belongings because she was changing the locks. He turned up at her work the next day. That evening she refused to let him in, and at three o'clock on the morning of 11 September she called police to say he was trying to kick her door down on Locust Street. details of the account remain covered until revealed

A friend, Sabrina Hall, called police for a welfare check. the rest of this account is covered until you choose to reveal it A pat-down found a brass-knuckle knife with hair and blood on it. Officer Connie Veers went in and found blood everywhere and what she described as a bloody mound in the bathtub, which was Tammy Jo's body with a camping tent draped over it. She had 25 sharp-force injuries, including eight stab wounds, and blunt-force injuries to her throat, neck, nose, mouth, lips, fingers and chest, some inflicted while she was alive. Her heart, most of her lungs and her brain were missing.

In an interview lasting three and a half hours he said the wicked will flee, said he was tingling and electrified, complained that too many gates were open, claimed to be Zeus and blamed two black men whom he said Tammy Jo had hired to kill him and take the third eye from his forehead. He then admitted kicking the door open, stabbing her, and cutting her skull open with an electric saw so that he could eat her brain, raw and cooked, to take her third eye and absorb her consciousness; he said he had cut out her heart and eaten it, and part of a lung. He said she had taunted him with checkmate and that he could hear her thoughts.
