Wow! I'm sure there were lots of clues that he was going to crack since he's 29 and still living at home. That 'woman's work' mindset is disturbing.

Tyrrell, who lives with his parents, then pulled out a gun and took his 51-year-old mother's keys and cellphones, Griffith said. The man refused to let the woman leave for at least six hours, investigators said.
Just when I thought I heard it all..................
