Mother Brandi Worley Convicted Her Children & 911 Call Transcript
Brandi Worley, a mother from Darlington, Indiana, murdered her two children on November 17, 2016.
Tyler Daniel Clinton Worley, born in 2009, and Charlee Rose Jean Worley, born in 2013, were the victims. Tyler went to Sugar Creek Elementary School in Montgomery County, Indiana, where he was in first grade. Charlee attended Crawfordsville’s Willson Early Learning Center preschool. He was seven years old, and she was three.
After returning home from their daughter’s dance performance under the guise of needing pipe cleaners for a school project for their son, Tyler, Brandi Worley went to Walmart in Crawfordsville, Indiana. According to Joseph Buser, a prosecutor with the Montgomery County government, Brandi Worley purchased the murder weapon, a Kabar combat knife, at a Walmart on November 16. When she got home, she put the knife in Tyler’s bedroom. Jason rebuffed her offer of sleeping on the couch, preferring the basement over their bed or couch.
While Jason slept in the basement of their house, Brandi enticed Tyler to Charlee’s room with the promise of a sleepover. She stabbed the children in the necks, killing them, and then stabbed herself in the neck. Brandi killed her son first, then her daughter. “What are you doing?” the daughter inquired as she awoke to the repeated stabbings of her brother. Brandi responded by telling her to “go back to sleep.” She then stabbed her daughter several times. Brandi eventually dialed 9-1-1 to report the murders. She admitted to taking a lot of Benadryl. During the 911 call, she remained calm and indifferent.
She notified the 911 controller that she had already dialed her mother’s phone number and was on her way. Her mother was completely unaware of what had happened.
The 9-1-1 operator requested Brandi Worley’s mother, the victims’ grandmother, to check on the children’s welfare, first hoping or assuming the call was not authentic. After the mother-in-law discovered the children dead, Jason got out of bed and screamed. Jason, Brandi informed him, “You can’t take the kids away from me now.” Around 4:30 a.m., police arrived.
Terre Haute Regional Hospital in Terre Haute, Indiana, performed the autopsies. Worley was initially treated for her self-inflicted injuries at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
