The “Evil Orphan” Murder Trial: Why Did Dima Tower Kill the Parents Who Saved Him?
Update: 2025-11-12
Description
They thought they were saving a life.
Jennifer and Robbie Tower opened their Florida home to a 14-year-old orphan from Ukraine — a boy they believed they could love into healing. Eight years later, that same boy is accused of murdering them in cold blood.
This is the chilling story behind what the media is calling “The Evil Orphan” case.
Prosecutors say Dima Tower, now 21, slaughtered his adoptive parents inside their North Port home, leaving them lying head-to-head on the floor, surrounded by blood. Then he allegedly fled the scene, leading police on a high-speed chase down I-75 before being caught at a gas station — still wearing the blood-stained clothes from that night.
Court documents show a disturbing pattern that began long before the murders: police calls for domestic violence, reports of fear in the home, even a father who admitted he locked his door at night to stay safe from his son.
Now, Tower faces two counts of first-degree murder and the possibility of life behind bars. The defense calls it trauma. The prosecution calls it evil.
In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the horrific details, the psychological unraveling, and the question haunting everyone who’s followed this case:
Can love really save a damaged soul — or does evil sometimes win?
