1
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:22,104
Breaking news in Mathews
County, where a couple has been

2
00:00:22,105 --> 00:00:24,566
found brutally murdered in
their New Point home.

3
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:27,526
The bodies of 51-
and 49-year-old Adam

4
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:30,529
and Melissa Moore were
discovered by first responders

5
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:32,781
after they had been
violently murdered

6
00:00:32,782 --> 00:00:34,409
from multiple stab wounds.

7
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:37,036
Police say the victim's
24-year-old son,

8
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:39,830
who is currently at large,
is a person of interest in

9
00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:43,084
the case after investigators
found his initials,

10
00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:46,796
"JTM," written in blood on
the wall their home.

11
00:01:01,227 --> 00:01:02,729
I would kill again.

12
00:01:02,854 --> 00:01:04,855
They're dead,
I'm alive.

13
00:01:04,856 --> 00:01:06,274
I don't think
it was wrong.

14
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:09,027
The thing inside of me is
like...

15
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:12,030
the appetite,
it's like a wolf that's...

16
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:17,243
feeling... hunger.

17
00:01:37,305 --> 00:01:41,225
A double homicide investigation
in Mathews County,

18
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:43,937
police charged this man,
Jonathan Moore.

19
00:01:44,062 --> 00:01:46,772
They say he stabbed his own
parents to death,

20
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:48,857
Adam and Melissa Moore.

21
00:01:48,858 --> 00:01:51,068
Deputies found their bodies at
their home on

22
00:01:51,069 --> 00:01:52,945
White Point Lane
on Monday.

23
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:56,365
Police say they found Jonathan
Moore in Lynchburg yesterday

24
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:59,201
though, after driving off
in his father's truck,

25
00:01:59,202 --> 00:02:00,495
and arrested him.

26
00:02:33,903 --> 00:02:36,698
So right out of the gate
he's wanting a lawyer

27
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:38,490
and what does that
say about him?

28
00:02:38,491 --> 00:02:41,910
I think it goes back to that
old saying where, "A lawyer

29
00:02:41,911 --> 00:02:44,664
who represents himself has
a fool for a client."

30
00:02:44,789 --> 00:02:48,043
And I think that gives us
our first glimpse

31
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:51,670
into who he thinks he is.

32
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:55,550
He thinks he's much smarter
than what he actually is.

33
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:58,510
He thinks he's much more
sophisticated than what

34
00:02:58,511 --> 00:02:59,763
he actually is.

35
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:36,400
There is a shocking level of
grandiosity I find

36
00:04:36,401 --> 00:04:37,652
in his presentation.

37
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:41,196
When you think about all of
the data points-- so his hand

38
00:04:41,197 --> 00:04:42,614
is lacerated and wrapped.

39
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:45,909
We know that they found
evidence at the scene of

40
00:04:45,910 --> 00:04:48,954
the murders with his initials
in blood written on the wall.

41
00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:52,583
He's being investigated for
this, but yet has no emotional

42
00:04:52,584 --> 00:04:54,794
response to the fact that he's
been told his parents

43
00:04:54,919 --> 00:04:56,211
have been murdered.

44
00:04:56,212 --> 00:05:00,633
And he just sits there really
calmly, I think, trying to fish

45
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:02,885
for a little information to
find out what they know,

46
00:05:02,886 --> 00:05:05,471
but also perhaps
a little uncertain of

47
00:05:05,472 --> 00:05:06,598
where he wants to go with this.

48
00:05:57,857 --> 00:06:00,943
He gets really antsy,
a little uncomfortable,

49
00:06:00,944 --> 00:06:04,239
because he wants
to share his story.

50
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:06,533
He wants to control
the narrative here.

51
00:06:06,658 --> 00:06:10,160
He cannot sit still and let
so much time go by, because

52
00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:11,538
it's just very boring for him.

53
00:06:11,663 --> 00:06:14,416
And, you know, typical of
psychopaths is they do need

54
00:06:14,541 --> 00:06:15,874
some sort of arousal.

55
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:19,545
They have a propensity towards
getting the attention because

56
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:21,839
if they don't, then there's
nothing to them,

57
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,383
and they're gonna, you know,
just be bored and fall apart,

58
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:27,220
so he wants to engage them.

59
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:40,460
He's really trying to get as
much information as he can

60
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:42,671
from detectives
so he can plan out

61
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,631
the rest of what
he's gonna tell them.

62
00:07:44,756 --> 00:07:48,634
And also, that is because
he wants to see what he can get

63
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:50,804
down the road
in terms of sentencing,

64
00:07:50,929 --> 00:07:52,597
in terms of the punishment.

65
00:09:10,175 --> 00:09:11,967
When it comes
to his description

66
00:09:11,968 --> 00:09:13,970
of the release
and the blackout,

67
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:16,722
he can kind of control
this narrative that

68
00:09:16,723 --> 00:09:20,309
he wants them to believe
that he's not a bad person.

69
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:23,521
That there, again, that there
was some kind of

70
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:24,772
unresolved trauma.

71
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:27,359
If he had a release, it was
because he was aware

72
00:09:27,484 --> 00:09:30,486
of what he was doing.
He enjoyed what he was doing.

73
00:09:30,487 --> 00:09:32,071
Was he blacked out?

74
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:34,782
I mean, he was blacked out
from his sense of normalcy

75
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:37,576
and decency, but he wasn't
blacked out in what

76
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,120
we think of
as being blacked out.

77
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:56,071
Moore describes his parents
as overbearing or controlling,

78
00:10:56,072 --> 00:10:58,365
and that's very damaging
to a psychopath.

79
00:10:58,366 --> 00:11:02,661
It's undercutting their--
their emotions, their control.

80
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:05,248
He doesn't want them around
because they really chipped

81
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:08,251
at his ego by telling him
what to do when to do it.

82
00:12:01,346 --> 00:12:03,931
Moore is approaching
this like a quid pro quo.

83
00:12:03,932 --> 00:12:05,724
Like, you know,
I gave you something.

84
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:08,936
I gave you a confession.
Now you give me something.

85
00:12:08,937 --> 00:12:11,647
And now he just wants to move
on to the next transaction,

86
00:12:11,648 --> 00:12:16,027
and to basically get
his own instrumental needs met.

87
00:12:16,152 --> 00:12:19,238
So that in and of itself,
by the way, is callous.

88
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:21,991
There's clearly no remorse
for killing his parents,

89
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:24,494
and he doesn't really
want to tell the truth.

90
00:12:24,619 --> 00:12:26,496
He's basically just saying,
"Yeah, I just told the truth

91
00:12:26,621 --> 00:12:28,580
because I want
a better outcome for my case."

92
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:34,128
And then he takes it a step
further and unbelievably is now

93
00:12:34,129 --> 00:12:35,964
asking for concessions.

94
00:13:41,696 --> 00:13:46,034
He seems far more concerned
about the cats than he does

95
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,828
his remaining family
and friends in the community.

96
00:13:48,953 --> 00:13:51,413
And that's the thing with
psychopathy is that we now

97
00:13:51,414 --> 00:13:53,875
think of psychopathy
on a continuum.

98
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,710
And we know
that there are people,

99
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,961
for example, who harm animals.

100
00:13:57,962 --> 00:14:00,756
On another side of that aspect
of psychopathy, there are

101
00:14:00,757 --> 00:14:03,676
people who actually
form bonds with animals.

102
00:14:03,677 --> 00:14:07,805
And one theory is that
they form bonds with pets

103
00:14:07,806 --> 00:14:10,684
or animals because
animals can't reject them.

104
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:31,473
He doesn't want her
to see him in a bad way.

105
00:15:31,598 --> 00:15:35,268
And that mimics or mirrors
what he was trying to do

106
00:15:35,393 --> 00:15:36,269
with detectives.

107
00:15:36,394 --> 00:15:39,481
He's controlling
how others are seeing him.

108
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:43,275
Again, if he's looked at
as this murderous person,

109
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:45,278
this horrible person,
that's gonna hurt his ego.

110
00:15:45,403 --> 00:15:46,695
He doesn't want
to be seen that way.

111
00:15:46,696 --> 00:15:49,157
It's very pejorative
to psychopaths.

112
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,117
He wants to be seen
as the victim here.

113
00:16:25,151 --> 00:16:27,320
He has a huge
sense of entitlement.

114
00:16:27,445 --> 00:16:31,115
He believes that he should
be getting all of the stuff

115
00:16:31,116 --> 00:16:32,991
that he wants when he wants it.

116
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:35,036
He wasn't able to get it
from the detectives.

117
00:16:35,161 --> 00:16:37,913
He expects to get it
from his grandmother.

118
00:16:37,914 --> 00:16:42,668
And never does he ever think
about how is she feeling,

119
00:16:42,669 --> 00:16:44,671
given everything
that's going on.

120
00:16:44,796 --> 00:16:48,508
The psychopath often is so
detached from another person's

121
00:16:48,633 --> 00:16:51,093
emotional state,
it's called alexithymia,

122
00:16:51,094 --> 00:16:54,222
when you can't interpret
your emotions and you can't

123
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:56,182
interpret the emotions
of other people.

124
00:18:24,479 --> 00:18:26,522
So I think
at this point, Moore is trying

125
00:18:26,523 --> 00:18:28,900
to spell out his motive here.

126
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:32,195
He mentions that his parents
have been talking about a life

127
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,699
insurance policy, and we know
from records from before that

128
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:40,369
he was talking to a friend
while intoxicated about,

129
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:42,080
you know,
killing his parents for money.

130
00:18:42,205 --> 00:18:45,332
It does fit his narrative to
kill his parents for the money.

131
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:48,544
He still wants
what they have, which is money.

132
00:18:48,545 --> 00:18:50,714
Not emotion,
not love, but money.

133
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:54,259
So how does he get what
he wants without having them

134
00:18:54,384 --> 00:18:55,885
in the picture?
He kills them.

135
00:19:55,487 --> 00:19:58,156
There is a high level of
narcissism that's happening.

136
00:19:58,281 --> 00:20:01,033
All he's thinking about is how
people don't want to let him

137
00:20:01,034 --> 00:20:04,371
live the life that he wants,
and he's upset about it.

138
00:20:09,292 --> 00:20:13,545
A Mathews County man
will spend 50 years behind bars

139
00:20:13,546 --> 00:20:15,297
for killing his parents.

140
00:20:15,298 --> 00:20:18,343
Jonathan Moore was convicted in
the stabbing deaths of Adam

141
00:20:18,468 --> 00:20:21,304
and Melissa Moore.
He pleaded guilty in October.
