Breaking news in Mathews
County, where a couple has been

found brutally murdered in
their New Point home.

The bodies of 51-
and 49-year-old Adam

and Melissa Moore were
discovered by first responders

after they had been
violently murdered

from multiple stab wounds.

Police say the victim's
24-year-old son,

who is currently at large,
is a person of interest in

the case after investigators
found his initials,

"JTM," written in blood on
the wall their home.

I would kill again.

They're dead,
I'm alive.

I don't think
it was wrong.

The thing inside of me is
like...

the appetite,
it's like a wolf that's...

feeling... hunger.

A double homicide investigation
in Mathews County,

police charged this man,
Jonathan Moore.

They say he stabbed his own
parents to death,

Adam and Melissa Moore.

Deputies found their bodies at
their home on

White Point Lane
on Monday.

Police say they found Jonathan
Moore in Lynchburg yesterday

though, after driving off
in his father's truck,

and arrested him.

So right out of the gate
he's wanting a lawyer

and what does that
say about him?

I think it goes back to that
old saying where, "A lawyer

who represents himself has
a fool for a client."

And I think that gives us
our first glimpse

into who he thinks he is.

He thinks he's much smarter
than what he actually is.

He thinks he's much more
sophisticated than what

he actually is.

There is a shocking level of
grandiosity I find

in his presentation.

When you think about all of
the data points-- so his hand

is lacerated and wrapped.

We know that they found
evidence at the scene of

the murders with his initials
in blood written on the wall.

He's being investigated for
this, but yet has no emotional

response to the fact that he's
been told his parents

have been murdered.

And he just sits there really
calmly, I think, trying to fish

for a little information to
find out what they know,

but also perhaps
a little uncertain of

where he wants to go with this.

He gets really antsy,
a little uncomfortable,

because he wants
to share his story.

He wants to control
the narrative here.

He cannot sit still and let
so much time go by, because

it's just very boring for him.

And, you know, typical of
psychopaths is they do need

some sort of arousal.

They have a propensity towards
getting the attention because

if they don't, then there's
nothing to them,

and they're gonna, you know,
just be bored and fall apart,

so he wants to engage them.

He's really trying to get as
much information as he can

from detectives
so he can plan out

the rest of what
he's gonna tell them.

And also, that is because
he wants to see what he can get

down the road
in terms of sentencing,

in terms of the punishment.

When it comes
to his description

of the release
and the blackout,

he can kind of control
this narrative that

he wants them to believe
that he's not a bad person.

That there, again, that there
was some kind of

unresolved trauma.

If he had a release, it was
because he was aware

of what he was doing.
He enjoyed what he was doing.

Was he blacked out?

I mean, he was blacked out
from his sense of normalcy

and decency, but he wasn't
blacked out in what

we think of
as being blacked out.

Moore describes his parents
as overbearing or controlling,

and that's very damaging
to a psychopath.

It's undercutting their--
their emotions, their control.

He doesn't want them around
because they really chipped

at his ego by telling him
what to do when to do it.

Moore is approaching
this like a quid pro quo.

Like, you know,
I gave you something.

I gave you a confession.
Now you give me something.

And now he just wants to move
on to the next transaction,

and to basically get
his own instrumental needs met.

So that in and of itself,
by the way, is callous.

There's clearly no remorse
for killing his parents,

and he doesn't really
want to tell the truth.

He's basically just saying,
"Yeah, I just told the truth

because I want
a better outcome for my case."

And then he takes it a step
further and unbelievably is now

asking for concessions.

He seems far more concerned
about the cats than he does

his remaining family
and friends in the community.

And that's the thing with
psychopathy is that we now

think of psychopathy
on a continuum.

And we know
that there are people,

for example, who harm animals.

On another side of that aspect
of psychopathy, there are

people who actually
form bonds with animals.

And one theory is that
they form bonds with pets

or animals because
animals can't reject them.

He doesn't want her
to see him in a bad way.

And that mimics or mirrors
what he was trying to do

with detectives.

He's controlling
how others are seeing him.

Again, if he's looked at
as this murderous person,

this horrible person,
that's gonna hurt his ego.

He doesn't want
to be seen that way.

It's very pejorative
to psychopaths.

He wants to be seen
as the victim here.

He has a huge
sense of entitlement.

He believes that he should
be getting all of the stuff

that he wants when he wants it.

He wasn't able to get it
from the detectives.

He expects to get it
from his grandmother.

And never does he ever think
about how is she feeling,

given everything
that's going on.

The psychopath often is so
detached from another person's

emotional state,
it's called alexithymia,

when you can't interpret
your emotions and you can't

interpret the emotions
of other people.

So I think
at this point, Moore is trying

to spell out his motive here.

He mentions that his parents
have been talking about a life

insurance policy, and we know
from records from before that

he was talking to a friend
while intoxicated about,

you know,
killing his parents for money.

It does fit his narrative to
kill his parents for the money.

He still wants
what they have, which is money.

Not emotion,
not love, but money.

So how does he get what
he wants without having them

in the picture?
He kills them.

There is a high level of
narcissism that's happening.

All he's thinking about is how
people don't want to let him

live the life that he wants,
and he's upset about it.

A Mathews County man
will spend 50 years behind bars

for killing his parents.

Jonathan Moore was convicted in
the stabbing deaths of Adam

and Melissa Moore.
He pleaded guilty in October.
