That’s why the seemingly random and unprovoked fatal stabbing attack on a husband and wife in the garage of their southern Martin County home Monday night has captured the attention of the nation, Sheriff William Snyder said Wednesday.
The man that Florida deputies said murdered a Florida couple and was found biting off pieces of a man’s face had his own Youtube page with freaky videos. He’s pictured walking through the restaurant wearing white shorts, a blue shirt and a red hat.
The hat’s statement has been popularized by Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, as he has used the slogan on merchandise for his campaign. His parents were so anxious about his behavior they called police and some of his friends in a futile attempt to find him.
A memorial service was held for Michelle Mishcon and John Stevens on Friday in Ft. A neighbor had called 911 to report being stabbed while trying to break up a fight.
Harrouff ‘s mother, Mina Harrouff, contacted the authorities on the night of the slayings saying her son had been acting strangely for days and claiming he had superpowers.
His mother told police her son didn’t have any history of mental problems and wasn’t a heavy drug user.
An autopsy showed Mishcon was beaten to death, while her husband died of multiple knife wounds and was partially cannibalized.
Austin Harrouff, 19, will be arrested and charged in the deaths of a Martin County couple upon his release from St. Mary’s Medical Center, Martin County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Trisha Kukuvka announced Friday.
The college student who tried to eat a man’s face in Florida, will be charged with murder when he gets out of the hospital, local news is reporting.
Harrouff, who was in town with some of his FSU fraternity brothers, stormed off from dinner with his parents at a nearby restaurant 45 minutes before the attack, according to the sheriff.
“I think we’re just all gonna miss them greatly”, said Ivy Stevens, the deceased’s daughter.
“It is not super important to me what his mindset was”, John Stevens IV told the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Thursday.
Stevens’ children just want Harrouff to receive the death penalty, the AP reported. “I want him to go through that process and to pay for what he did”.
Police are hoping tests for substances in Harrouff’s system help explain his freaky and extremely violent behaviour.
While street drugs, like marijuana and cocaine, were not found in initial blood tests taken from Austin Harrouff, authorities said additional tests have been conducted that will further examine his blood, hair and DNA.

Hall cautioned that no one should jump to conclusions until the testing is complete, but he said steroid use seems more likely than flakka, a drug that the sheriff has suggested was a possibility.
