See How Much You Love Me
Though Florida is known for its entertaining attractions there is a darker side that is just as well known. It is a place of bizarre murder cases. Two of them are Casey Anthony and George Zimmerman. There is another one that is just as strange that author Amber Hunt tells in her book “See How Much You Love Me.” This is the case of a teenager who killed both of his parents then put out over Facebook and other social media that he was having a big party at the house. He left their bodies in their bedroom and had his party. Tyler Hadley, the person who put on the party, seemed to be a normal teenager, but he was anything but normal. Amber Hunt takes readers through the case and shows that Tyler is a very sick person who is where he should be in jail. “See How Much You Love Me” is a very chilling case of murder in the sunshine state.
