At just 14 years old, Eldon Gale Samuel III stood over the bodies of his father and 13-year-old autistic brother in their Idaho home—having shot his father multiple times, then hunted and stabbed his brother with brutal precision using a knife and machete. His reasoning? He said his father believed the “zombie apocalypse” was real, had trained both boys to kill zombies, and had pushed him into it.
Raised in a home marred by violence, addiction, and terror—where lighter fluid, guns, and shattered lives were the norm—Eldon finally snapped. Suicide, survival, or self-defense? His case tested the boundaries of juvenile justice, mental health, and what a traumatized teenage mind is capable of.
In this episode, we examine:
A childhood shaped by parental addiction and violence
The shocking confession and chilling 911 call
The legal battle: murder or self-defense?
Psychological evaluations and mental illness in youth crime
Idaho’s landmark court ruling and sentencing
Content Warning: Detailed descriptions of graphic violence and family trauma. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
