Fall 2022 in Ocala, Florida. One frantic 911 call, two victims clinging to life, and many unanswered questions. >> I need you guys here. >> I need to know why I'm being detained. >> I'm a sociopath. Richard Langanger was the kind of guy who spent his life aiming for the horizon. A retired airline pilot, he didn't spend his golden years idling on a golf course. He spent them in the cockpit flying angel flights to transport organs and patients for life-saving care. He and his wife had built a life defined by service, ambition, and a 52-year marriage that stood as a testament to commitment. They were the epitome of the American dream, living out their well-earned retirement in the quiet comfort of Okala, Florida. But that piece came to a screeching violent halt on the morning of September 16th, 2022. It was just past 8:00 a.m. when the lines at the Maran County Sheriff's Office lit up. Richard was on the line gasping for air. He told dispatch he and his wife had been stabbed by someone named Christina. His final words to the operator were chilling. Please hurry. I'm fading fast. Units rushed to the scene, but nothing on the call sheet could prepare them for what they were about to walk into. So I think we're kind of getting it fig settled out. Um basically we have a older couple that live here in Libert Ranch. Typical Lord air ranch rouse. They have uh called the husband called in saying that him and his wife have been stabbed. Uh when we get here the wife is on the floor in the foyer like right in front of the front door on the inside of the house. Uh she's her she's got a stab wound to her left upper breast like right in her chest area. Um the husband is laying in the floor in the living room and he's got a massive laceration on the inside of his bicep bleeding very badly. Um he's he's the only one that's conscious enough to even talk to us. He's you know basically saying his daughter his daughter stabbed him. Um he is saying she lives here on the property. There's an apartment in the airplane hanger and that's where she lives. >> Rescue units roll in and transport both victims to the hospital. At this point in time, both were listed in critical condition. The Christina mentioned in that frantic call, that's the couple's 30-year-old daughter, Christina Adams. She didn't live far away. She had been staying in a converted hanger that doubled as a studio apartment right there in her parents' backyard. It's also worth noting that while she's married, she and her wife were actually maintaining separate residences at the time. With the ambulances gone and the crime scene locked down, the priority instantly shifted to finding Christina. We're talking about a suspect who just tried to brutally kill two people. Deputies needed to get her in cuffs before she could flee the county, hurt someone else, or destroy evidence. The only lead they had was her car, a gray 2017 Hyundai SUV. But luck was on their side. Less than 45 minutes after the violent assault on Southeast 70th Terrace, deputies spotted the car and initiated a traffic stop. Inside were two occupants real quick. You want to have a seat real quick? >> Let's go and grab our sunglasses on >> Y. >> And it is really uncomfortable with your hands behind your back like that. So, sit sideways. Take the pressure off you. Okay. And I got the AC crank. >> Are you going to come in here and talk to me? >> I am not asking you any questions. I need to know why I'm being detained. Please, >> when I have some information I can give you, I will. >> But right now, I I am not asking you any questions. Okay. I need you to pull your knee in just a little more. I don't want to catch you. That hurts. >> With the Hyundai secured as evidence, deputies transported both women to the major crimes unit. Since Richard had already implicated Christina as the attacker, the first priority was figuring out if Brenda was an accomplice or just an unwitting passenger. Brenda stuck to a mundane timeline. She claimed she woke up at 5:30 a.m., exchanged some casual Facebook messages with Christina, and ran errands for gas and a bag of ice. She and Christina met up at the public's supermarket, shopped until 8:32, and she then left her own car there to catch a ride back to Christina's place. According to Brenda, she noticed nothing unusual about her demeanor. No blood, no panic, no mention of the fact that she had just stabbed her parents minutes earlier. Then eyes turned to Christina, whose file was a walking contradiction. Detectives pulled a wrap sheet dating back to 2013 that included convictions for theft, illicit drugs, credit card fraud, and gun possession. Yet, she had recently been enrolled at the Central College of Florida, just credits shy of a double degree in ecoin exercise physiology and business management. She had the brains to succeed, but the instincts to destroy. Detectives adopted a measured strategic approach. The goal was to let her talk to get her to commit to a story that clashed with Brenda's timeline and secure the men's rhea required for a first-degree charge. Christina sat down, believing she had successfully killed her parents, completely unaware of exactly how much the detectives already knew. >> Hi, are you Christina? >> Yes. >> Christina, I'm Detective Pender with the sheriff's office. We're going to we're going to get you uh your handcuffs moved up to the front real quick here. >> All right, let's do that. And just to let you know, um we're we're waiting on Detective Stiff. Okay. He's going to be the primary detective. He's he's coming down here now. So, that's what we're going to hold in pattern until he gets here and then um you know, we can we can talk some. So, we'll try to get you uh a little bit more comfortable here. >> Thank you so much. >> I'm going fly this around. >> That's right. >> It hurts but feels so good. >> It's very comfortable. Okay, Christina, here's a water for you. And and if you need anything like bathrooms, then knock on the door. Okay, there's a deputy right outside. We'll be in as soon as we can. Thank >> you. Okie dokie. Yeah. >> I'm Detective SP. >> I'm Detective Hender. Yep. I I brought you that water earlier. Got your handcuffs sorted out. >> Thank you. >> Sorry to keep you in here. It's a little chilly in here. >> Yeah. >> All right. Well, um trying to get some information about what happened this morning. So, I'd like to talk to you. We've talked to a bunch of people g you know, you've been here for a while. So, in that meantime, we haven't just been sitting around. We've been trying to put pieces together and get an idea of what happened this morning. So, I'd like to um ask you some questions and get some information from you. So, that being said, you are in handcuffs, okay? You were detained at at a traffic stop and I'm asking questions about a criminal investigation. So, with that, you're you're considered detained. So, I have to read your rights. Doesn't mean you're under arrest. It just means I want to ask you questions about a criminal investigation. Okay? And I have to read this to you. All right? You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can or will be used against you in court law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have them present with you while you're being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any question if you wish. Can decide at any time to execute these rights, not answer any questions or make any statements. You understand each of those rights? Okay. So, you said that you live at uh is that like a studio apartment built up in the hanger at at the house or at the property? >> Yeah, it's like Okay. So there's the main house and that's connected to the hanger and then my apartment is connected to the hanger in the very back. >> Okay. So it's all one building. It's just kind of separated from what's inside. Yeah. >> Okay. Perfect. >> All right. So um were you there last night at the house? Okay. Uh who was there with you >> last night? Mhm. >> No one. >> No one. Okay. Um and you said your parents live alone. Do you know if they have company? They occasionally, like my brother, he sometimes has problems with his wife. He comes by. >> Um, uh, sometimes comes by to do lawn work. And >> um, that's one of my other brothers. Okay. I'm the last of nine. >> Last of nine. >> It's just all brothers. You have any sisters? >> No, I have uh, so it goes boy, two girls, and then boy, me. >> All right. >> Um, they are >> You're the youngest then, you said? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. Um, so last night you were alone. What time do you think you went to bed? >> I sent my wife a good night text. Um, >> I want to say like 10:00 10:30 >> at night. >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. And where was she? Do you know where she was at? >> Yeah, she was at her apartment with her mom and and our daughter. >> Okay. And uh you went to bed after that, >> right? Yeah. Like very shortly. I was very very tired. And then you woke up this morning about >> um 5ish. >> 5. Okay. >> I usually have an alarm either 5 or 5:45. >> Okay. And what did you do? >> Um I got up. I um fed my cats. Um and I watched some movies. Uh played some games on my phone. I'm in the middle of learning a new language on Dualingu. I don't know if you've ever heard that. Um, yeah, me and my wife are trying to uh learn to speak Valyrian from Game of Thrones. That's cool. >> Yeah. Um, so I did that. I fed the cats. Um, I put in a loan of laundry and then I came back and sat at the house and put on a movie. And then um and then um Brenda was dropping off to school and she said that she had to get ice and um and go to Publix and so um I wanted to see her and we usually you know she's usually stays like Monday through Friday and then goes back to her mom's house for the weekend. >> Mhm. >> Um and we haven't had that in a long time. It's been like only like we could only see each other like for little little bits and pieces during the day. >> Why is that? Um because uh like uh one week, one of the weeks, it was very shortly ago, her mom really wanted her to come home um earlier in the week and so she and then she got stuck there and we have this this this whole thing. Um and uh so her mom wanted to stay there and you know just things kept getting you know put off put off. So, the next time that we were going to be leaving at my place was um this coming Monday. >> Okay. And >> so this morning, were you communicating with Brenda like through text or Facebook Messenger? >> Messenger. >> Okay. And you made arrangements to go to Publix? >> Mhm. I was going to meet her at Publix. >> Okay. And uh did she come over to the house and you guys went there together or how did you meet up? like um everything's very blurry. >> Why is that? >> Just because of all everything that's happening. You know, I'm on my way back to my place and I get pulled over and handcuffed and brought here. >> Yeah, that's a lot. That's to be stressful. Um that okay. So she she says that she was going to go to Publix and or I racrack to get ice in the Publix. And then um after she left and dropped the kid off, she was like, "Why don't I just come over there?" And um so she came over and um I was in one of my depressions because >> [snorts] >> um you know I my my record plate makes it very hard to get employed and all I really want to be is a productive member of society >> and have a job you know work Monday through Friday 8 to 5 and come home >> to my wife and kid >> and it it gets me down a thought like that I can't I can't do that. And >> so Brenda came over before Publix or >> Yes, before Publix. >> Okay. And um do you remember about what time that would have been? >> Um a little before 8. >> A little before 8. >> Now, did she come inside? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Had she already gone to racetrack and got the bag of ice at that point? Mhm. >> Okay. Did she like bring the bag of ice in the house, put it in the free This is silly, but did she >> I I don't remember. I'm sorry. >> Um, how do you know she had the bag of ice already then? I mean, did you see it? I I think I I I >> I all I mean all I know is that she came over after she dropped the kid off. I don't know if she did the ice or the public yet. >> Okay. All right. >> You don't know if she did the ice of the Publix yet? >> Yeah. >> But did you go to Publix with her? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So then she wouldn't have made two trips to public. >> Obviously. Yes. >> All right. So she came over prior to the public's trip that you made with her. >> Yes. >> Okay. And what how did she get to to your house >> when? In her red car. >> Okay. So she came over this morning. That's the first time that you saw her this morning. >> Yes. >> Okay. She came there in her red Nissan, I think it was. >> Yeah. Nissan. >> Okay. All right. And from there, did you drive your car to the Publix or? >> Well, the plan was to go over to her house cuz she was like, you know, why don't you get up, get out of the house, get ready, you know, come over to my place, you know, have some fun with me and the kid and my mom and have some shepherd's pie that she made and, you know, get out of your little funk >> cuz she knows, you know, I get in these funks and I basically have to be dragged out of the house to snap out of it. Um, and so Yeah. So then we left in our separate cars um because you know at the end of everything she was going to stay at her place. So we went in our separate cars. >> Okay. And um if she came over a little before 8, what time do you think you got to the Publix? I know we don't usually keep track of minutes and seconds, but the best you can remember. >> I I don't know, but for some reason, I remember it saying like 8:35 on the clock when I was getting pulled over. >> Okay. >> So, between then and then >> Okay. How long do you think you were at the Publix? >> Not very long. She just needed to get some um um olive loaf and kitten food. Was there anything else? >> Oh, where? >> Okay. Um and this was the Belleview Publix. Yeah. >> Yes. That's probably the closest one. >> Mhm. >> Okay. Um do you know where that ice you said she stopped at the racetrack and got ice? Do you know where that that went to? Where that would be? >> Um, it was in uh her car. >> Okay. And where is her car now? >> Publix. >> You left. Okay. So, after you left Publix, what what what happened? You like jumped in your car to >> Yeah, cuz um >> you just left a melting bag of ice in there. >> Confusing. >> I know. Like because we weren't planning to be gone long. M um my house is not far from Publix and um I told her that I really wanted to switch my laundry before, you know, going over for a few hours and not have wet laundry sitting in the washer cuz it starts to stink. >> So, you did some laundry today? >> Yeah. Okay. This morning. >> All right. And um so you jumped in both in your car and then you were going to go where? >> Jumped in my car from where? from Publix when you left Publix. >> Yeah, I told you I went I told her I really wanted to go back to my place >> to switch home and said it wasn't sitting in the washer. >> Okay. >> And that's when the deputies pulled you over? >> Yes. >> And did they explain what happened? >> No. >> Okay. Um >> I haven't been in the house. Is the Is the washer and dryer in the same little apartment you're in or is it in the main house? >> It's in the main house. >> Oh, >> it's like right inside the hanger. Okay. >> I mean, okay. No, that came out wrong. Okay. So, there's a door between my apartment and the hanger, >> and then there's a door here >> and like near the front of the hanger >> that goes immediately into the washer and dryer room. >> Sure. Okay. All right. Uh, so, how long were you at the house before you left? You said Brenda got there approximately eight, maybe a little bit before that. How long do you think you were there until you left? I mean, it doesn't take me long to get ready. I was already, you know, mostly dressed for the day. I just had to slip on some shoes. >> Okay. Um, [snorts] when did you do your laundry? >> Around like between 5 and 6. >> Okay. >> About five. >> You just threw it in the washer. >> Mhm. and you did you just you left at around 8, but then you wanted to hurry to get back to it to change it out, but between 5 and 6, you threw it in the washer and didn't throw it in the dryer before you left. I'm just trying to understand the the time frames cuz the little details matter as far as the the time frames to be able to tie everything together about, you know, okay, oh yeah, I remember at this time I did that or this. So talking about the little things that you do in the morning kind of helps jog your memory or remember better details of time. >> Mhm. >> So uh you was like one of the first things you did in the morning to do the laundry or is it >> that's Yeah, usually I get up you know I um I do my Valyrian lesson like because Okay. There's a chest that you can open. Like, okay, if you do a lesson between 6:00 p.m. and noon or 6:00 p.m. and midnight and then that will open up between 6:00 a.m. and noon. >> Okay. >> And so, you know, you get to do it twice a day and you get twice as many experience points. Um, so that's usually when I do my Valyrian is, um, after I, you know, wake up, um, eat something, feed my cats. Um, >> so what were your plans when you came back from Publix? When you were going had to head home, what were you going to do then? >> Just switch the laundry. >> Switch the laundry. >> Go to her place. Well, go back to the car and then Okay. All right. Um, so when's the last time you you saw your parents? I mean, we were supposed to >> in a few days. >> It's been a few days. So, I might have miss misheard when he asked you about specifically where the how the washer and dryer setup was. Is it actually in the main house or is it a >> It's in the main house. >> Okay. So, you'd have to go into the main house where your parents live. You didn't see them then or anything. You went in the kitchen to get uh some food. You said to eat in the morning, right? >> No. No. That's my kitchen, not their kitchen. >> Okay. Got it. Cuz they're separate kitchens. Okay. But the main house has the washer and dryer. >> Yes. >> Got it. Okay. Um, so a few days got like Can you kind of give us an idea of like when and where it was more specifically you saw them? >> Like I mean I'm usually running around and stuff. Um, I'll usually wave to them if I see them out like when I'm pulling in or leaving. But >> I mean, have they called you, texted you, knocked on your door in the last couple days? When was the last communication they made to you then? Um this morning I called my mom to ask her to open the door for the laundry. >> Oh, okay. So about about what time was that you called her, do you think? >> I have no idea. >> But would it be on your cell phone? >> Yeah. >> And what was your cell phone number again? >> 3957. >> Got it. Okay. And how long have you had that phone number? >> Years. >> Perfect. What was the number again? >> What was the number, please? 3957. >> And you had that for years. And what's the phone provider? >> Uh, Exfinity Mobile. >> Okay. Exfinity Mobile. And then you said you talked to your mom this morning at one time to tell her to open up that door. Did they have to like unlock it so you can go in to do the wash? >> Yeah. >> Okay. And about what time was that? >> I really don't know. >> Okay. Was the sun up or down? [clears throat] >> I believe it was like the beginning of daylight break. >> Okay. Was it a long conversation? Short conversation? >> Very short. Like maybe a minute or two. describe to us what your mom said. M um I said good morning and she said hey good morning and um yesterday there was a little bit of you know miscommunication um I was headed out and um they were trying to get a hold of me and um I I had uh groceries to get at Publix and Walmart and so I was on a little frazzled trying to leave the house and um they were saying please call me please call me well my mom was Um, and so then, um, she said, "Oh, good morning, finally." And I said, "Um, yeah, good morning. How are you?" Um, and she said, "Good. Are you uh" I said, "Um, could you open the door so I can do some laundry?" And she said, "Yeah, sure. Come on over." And um so I went over there and put my laundry in and I heard gun smoke on the TV. That's what she usually watches. And um and that was it. >> When she's watching gunm smoke on TV, which is normal, what room is that that she's in? >> Um a uh living room entertainment center place. >> Okay. So you could hear that through uh the door. Um, and when you did this load of wash, it sounds like it might have been in there for a little bit. I'm not sure what settings you used. Was it like a big load of wash? What were you washing? >> Um, just some clothes. Um, shorts, towels. Uh, I don't really short laundry. I just throw it all in. >> So, it's going to be shorts and towels that are in the washing machine. >> Jacket. Um uh um what else? >> Did your mom go over and talk to you while you were washing the clothes? Did your Did your dad uh call you or text you this morning? >> Did he Did he Did you hear him in the background whenever you're talking to your mom? Did you guys >> No, but he usually goes on like a morning walk >> like right around >> Does he usually do that? >> I like I assume sun up like or shortly before. >> Um what else was in that laundry basket? Uh bras, shirts, shorts, towels. Um there was a pair of work clothes and um uh [clears throat] some uh shoe covers. You said work gloves and shoe covers. >> Okay. Um, if I remember correctly though, you're not working right now though. >> No. >> Okay. When was all that? When were the gloves? >> I was I was doing some cleaning over at Brenda's house and we were using bleach and I'm I'm clumsy when it comes to bleach and so I always >> Okay. Maybe I missed that. When were you guys doing some cleaning? >> Um, yesterday or not? No, >> not yesterday. >> So many days going together. This is the point where Detective Stith has had enough of the lies, the deflections, and the half-truths. He decides it's time to stop playing the active listener and start applying the pressure. >> Christina, >> ideas together. What >> I I I don't want you to dig yourself into a deeper hole. When I came in here and asked you to get your side of the story, it's because I think there's more to this story than what I have so far. But I'll be honest with you. I've talked to your parents, okay? I've talked to other people. We're in the process of getting a search warrant for the house, for your vehicle, for phones, and there's things that we're going to find that are going to contradict what you're telling me because I I don't believe what you're telling me. Okay? And I want you to to give yourself the opportunity to be honest because there has to be more side of the story. And what I want you to do is to give me, you know, some understanding that you're not this cold-blooded person that would that would do things to their parents without a a good reason. There has to be more to it. Now, you've told me you you've been in a depression. I've talked to your wife. She said you've been going through some things as well, frustrated with school and with work, you know, and the way things are are. You want to be independent, but unfortunately sometimes we have to rely on our parents and that can cause stress between, you know, kids and their parents and for them as well. Mhm. >> So, something happened this morning which you have been not even interested in knowing about. You haven't asked me once about what happened. Your wife has been more interested about what happened. And that tells me you already know what happened. >> No, wife. >> Don't listen. Let's stop now. Hold on. Hold on. >> Let's just skip the part where where you do that. Okay? Because I wouldn't come in here and and and give you this opportunity if I didn't think there was more to the story. Okay. I don't think you're that person that's cold blooded that's going to do do this and that you would just harm somebody of your family if there wasn't more going on. I don't know if there's, you know, issues where you're going through more severe depression than what you're letting on and you're not letting your family members in on this and something triggered you. But you've got to be honest with yourself right now. And you got to be honest with us. Because at the end of the day, when all our investigation is complete, you're either going to be the person who was honest and took responsibility and told us what's going on that would cause somebody to do something out of their character like this, or you're going to be the person that's going to be looked at as a liar and a cold-blooded person that would that would harm their parents. So, you need to decide right now which person you're going to be. If it's something more severe than depression, that's something else we can talk about because that's that's I've sat down and I've talked to people in this room that have things that going on with them and they haven't even been diagnosed by a doctor. But everything that detective is talking to you about is 100% the truth. Um that there was there was a call from your parents house. There was statements provided. We there's things that you haven't talked to us about yet. And he's right. We should just hit the we should just hit the reset button and start over and try to get the get back on track here regarding with what we what we know happened at the house to some extent, but we have to try to figure out where um what really happened and and and he's right cuz we we haven't been talking about all of the truth. We've been leaving some stuff out and which I get. I I I get it cuz it might be embarrassing or shameful or whatever it may be, but um he's he's right that there's that there's and I'm interested as to why you were leaving some of this stuff out. You know, are you was is it something worse than depression? Do you have like bipolar disorder or anything like that that you've been di diagnosed with? >> Okay. Can we talk about >> Sure. >> What has happened to my parents? >> Your parents are at the hospital right now. they're being treated um for some injuries, very severe injuries. Um and and we're we're trying to sort through that without without giving you everything that we know cuz obviously we want to give you an opportunity to tell to tell us what you know. Um and and that's that's what we're working through. >> And a lot of what what we've done so far up to get to this process before I first walked into this room, we've already done a lot of that process. So, we know a lot of the who, the what, the where, and the how. But one thing we can't understand until we talk to everybody is the why. Okay, Christina. And I'm concerned about your wife over there who has a 5-year-old and what her involvement is in this because her her that 5-year-old, >> she doesn't have a father right now, right? >> But I'm saying the biological father has has passed away. So, she relies on you and and and uh Brenda to care for her. >> Yes. So, as of right now, I I I just need to know what her involvement is in this. Is this something that just happened on on a split second or was this something that was planned? Because that makes a big difference as as far as your mentality of what happened, right? >> Planned things or things that just something got out of hand and it was a mistake. There's a big difference there. So, we're trying to gauge where we at on the scale here. Was this something that uh Christina and Brenda were like planning? This was like their it was a grand scheme or was this and we see this a lot. Was this just a one-time thing that something happened? Oh my gosh, I can't believe that it snowballed into this and we're trying to figure out where it is on the gauge and we've already talked to her. Now we're sitting in here talking to you and like the tech said, we've already spoke to everybody. We're sort of trying to gauge where we're at. We know that we're not in the right place. We want to hit the reset button. We want to get back on track here. We're trying to gauge Brenda's involvement, your involvement um with this given with what we know and we just want to just start over and just start talking about um what's going on with the truth. So you think I hurt my parent Christina I' I've gathered from from the people I've talked to I've gathered that you and your parents have been coming almost like two of empaths as far as them wanting you to move on with your life and take some some responsibility >> responsibility >> as far as you know they they've helped you out in the past right >> that's what they want to [ __ ] call it >> but that's what I'm saying there's two sides every story right and that's what I'm trying to understand. Okay? Because like he mentioned, we're not going to tell you everything we know because then that goes back to what I was saying about me asking you questions I know the answer to. If I just tell you everything, you can either say yes or no, but that doesn't really confirm the facts and the truth that we need to get to. And one of those big things is why why would this happen? is again like he said, is this something where you and Brenda plan to to harm them and to try to for whatever reason, whether it's money, whether it's um I don't know, possibly just over anger issues and emotional issues. Uh but we need to that's the main thing we need to figure out because the the what happened we already know. the who we already know because of the evidence and the people that we've already talked to and the evidence that I'm sure we're going to find when we continue this investigation from here because it's still early on and this is your opportunity to get in front of this and be honest and don't be that person because you're you're one of two people at this point. Okay? You're either person who got into a situation with family and we all know how families can get and you did something out of emotion, raw emotion, or you're a cold-blooded person who harmed your parents and planned this. And I don't think that's the type of person you are. Can we drop some [ __ ] What is going to happen like path A or path B? >> By asking about a path A or path B, Christina is essentially trying to negotiate terms. It's a calculated move to see which option offers the best survival rate before she decides to, in her own words, drop the BS. It proves she is lucid and fully aware of the stakes. The detectives don't blink. They tell her they're going to follow the evidence either way, but a confession on the front end looks a whole lot different than one after the fact. That's when she pivots. She launches into a history of family problems, claiming she endured physical abuse by her siblings as a child. And then after a brief pause, she offers the detectives a chilling self- diagnosis. I'm a sociopath and I have a mild case of DID. Okay. And under extreme stress and emotion, other forces control my actions and your emotions got the best of you today. Okay. >> Christina's claim of being a sociopath corresponds to what the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders classifies as antisocial personality disorder. She also mentions having a quote unquote mild case of DID or dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. While we can't verify her medical history right here, it is jarringly rare to hear a suspect self- diagnose with that kind of clarity. With that context established, she shifts to the morning's timeline. She claims it started innocently enough. She called her mother to ask about using the laundry room. Her mom gave her the green light, but added that her father wanted to speak with her. Once inside the main house, her father dropped the hammer. He wanted her out of the apartment. This was no surprise as they had discussed it two months earlier, but this time her father demanded she leave by the next day. Christina recalls just nodding silently and walking back to her apartment. But beneath the calm, she was seething. She hatched a plan for revenge. It involved a taser, a 9-in knife, and a change of clothing. I put on long dark pants and a [clears throat] jacket, the gloves. >> Are those the items there being in the washer? >> Long dark pants, a jacket and gloves. You put those on and then what happened after you put on those clothes? >> I went over my dad was on the computer like in the computer room in his computer chair. >> Mhm.

Where did you get the knife from? >> I had one for self-defense. >> Okay. >> In my apartment. >> In the apartment. You got it from your apartment. When we go and look for the knife, describe to us what color it is and how big it is. >> It's like 9 in long. Like total. >> Okay. >> We can't. >> Does it have a color handle? >> Um I believe it's black. >> Okay. And when you heard him and you stabbed him, where do you think the first place it was that he got hurt and stabbed at? >> Left arm. >> His left arm. Okay. I know it's hard. Tell us what happened after that. [clears throat] He's sitting at his computer, right? Okay. Was it back to you? Yes. Okay. I feel like I I think I'm like shocked with my It's another self-defense thing that I carry. A taser. >> Okay. >> A little handheld. here like flip. >> Okay. >> And then he shock around and then I tab. >> Did you shock him first before the the left arm? >> Okay. Okay. Then what happened? Just take a take a deep breath. I I can't remember where the next one landed. >> You said he turned towards you at that point. >> Yeah, after the shock. [snorts] I don't I don't know where it happened [clears throat] next. Okay. >> But I think I was like two [snorts] with my dad. What did my last one was my dad? >> I'm sorry. What? >> Two. >> Mhm. >> Oops. >> Two staff >> to your dad. And then you said one to your mom. >> Yeah. >> Describe to us the transition from your dad to your mom. You were you were your dad was over by the computer. You were We already talked about that. How did you get over to your mom? >> She was She heard the commotion. She came over and she's like, "What are you doing?" And I don't know what what part of her body did you stab. >> You're pointing at the middle of the chassis. >> Okay. >> Did you use the tape on her at all? >> Okay. That was just more out of reaction than being scared of what what had just happened. >> I'm sorry. >> Was that more of out of reaction? What happened with your mom? Just she coming in and realizing what had happened and you got scared? >> Yeah. >> Tell us how you went back to your dad for another stab. I had my mom and he started crawling [clears throat] and he was [clears throat] and he got up and I got this as well here [cough and clears throat] >> in the chest. Yeah. >> And you're pointing to the middle of the chest. Yeah. Christina was taken from the interview room directly to booking at the Marian County Jail. She was initially charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of tampering with evidence. Bond was denied. Meanwhile, her wife Brenda was released. Since her timeline held up and police determined she wasn't involved, she walked away as a witness for the state, not a codefendant. Sadly, 2 days after the attack, 74year-old Richard Langanger succumbed to his injuries. With his passing, the charges against Christina were instantly upgraded to first-degree murder. Fast forward to April 16th, 2025. The trial left little room for doubt. After seeing the irrefutable evidence and hearing the testimony, jurors deliberated only briefly before returning their verdict. They found 33-year-old Christine Anne Adams guilty of premeditated murder in the first degree and attempted first-degree murder with a deadly weapon. Judge Timothy McCort handed down the sentence shortly after, giving her two life sentences, one for the murder of her father, Richard, and the other for the attempted murder of her mother. In that interrogation room, Christina treated the attack like a logic puzzle, analyzing her survival rate. But in a [music] dark twist of irony, the woman who killed her father because he asked her to move out finally got her wish. She was evicted from the property only to be relocated to a 6x8 concrete [music] cell she will never ever leave. Heat. Heat.
