Dima Tower, 21, allegedly stabbed his adoptive parents Robbie Tower, 49, and Jennifer Tower, 51, to death in their North Port, Florida, home on September 1. The police launched an eight-hour manhunt for him, which ended with his arrest on the morning of September 2.

The couple, who were Christian missionaries and worked as real estate agents in the area, were found on the living room floor, lying head to head in a pool of blood.

Kind words poured in to the caring couple who adopted Dima seven years ago from an orphanage where he was beaten until he was bruised.

Relatives say his deeply religious parents tried to shower him with love, but the teenager had difficulty adjusting and was said to have exhibited anxious and aggressive behavior before the killing.

Police arrived at the Towers' home in Florida on the evening of September 1 after a neighbor reported someone was knocking on the door and calling for help. When she opened the door, there was no one there, and there were blood stains on the floor.

Police arriving on the scene found Tower Jr. outside the home with blood on his clothes as he closed the trunk of his car.

Police say he ignored their orders to “stay put,” got into his car and sped away, leading to a pursuit.

The daring escape nearly ended when he hit spikes on I-75, but police say he fled on foot and hid in the woods. The suspect remained at large for almost eight hours, but on the morning of September 2 he was tracked down and taken into custody.

Meanwhile, investigators found the couple, who worked as real estate agents, on the living room floor covered in blood.

Police have not disclosed the motive for the murder. Investigators believe the attack went on for some time because there were several large pools of blood in the home - in the bedroom, on the living room couches, on the inside of the front door and in the kitchen.

Robbie Tower's uncle, Warren Rines, said the couple, who could not have their own children, were devout Christians - they surrounded their son with love and attention.

“It just makes no sense, none of us understand what happened. These people were the only ones in his life who tried to help him. They treated him like their own son,” Rines said. “They were two very good, caring people.”

The couple traveled to Ukraine several times on Christian missions.

Rines says the alleged murders are not the first time Tower has attacked his parents: three years ago, his nephew called the police after a Ukrainian gave him a black eye.

As a result of this incident, Robbie sent his son to live with relatives for a while and then insisted that he return home because "they forgave him for everything."

Seven years ago, the Towers decided to adopt their alleged killer to rescue a 14-year-old from a prison-like orphanage, Rines said.

“He had bruises in the orphanage,” he noted. — When they went out to eat, Dima ate about six hot dogs. He didn't get much food there. These orphanages are like a prison for children.”

Despite his sad past, the couple believed that by accepting him into their family they could help the boy. But he allegedly had difficulty fitting in and often started fights at school.

“When I first met him, he was interested in boxing,” Rines recalls. “But the teenager had no desire to engage directly in boxing. He wanted to hit, he wanted to hurt.”

According to Rhines, everything was normal in the Towers' Florida home because the parents continued to shower their son with love even though he was behaving inappropriately.

“I think there was a lot of hatred in the boy even before he came here,” he suggested, noting that his adoptive parents bought him “everything he wanted or needed,” including the car in which the detainee tried to escape. .

Those who knew the deceased couple shared their condolences over the loss, with Robbie's mother Debbie Tower writing on Facebook: "They spent all their savings to adopt him and this is how he repays them."

“I don’t know how I’m going to get through this... Rob and Jen weren’t just my kids, they were my best friends and we did everything together,” she said.

It's unknown how many children the couple adopted, but Debbie said they were "always taking the boys out for fun."

Neighbor Anne-Marie Lidinski told the station that the killings had stunned the local community because the family seemed happy and the parents had "sacrificeed a lot for him."

“He was his mother’s world, he was everything to her. It definitely won’t be the same without them,” she said.
