Troy Gene Brewer, 60, and his wife Mary Sheldon Brewer, 64, were found dead in their Crowley, Texas, home on November 29, 2016. Both victims had been shot multiple times. Troy’s body was located in the master bedroom and Mary’s body was found in a living room trash receptacle.

Police say an anonymous tip from a friend of the Brewers’ 17-year-old adopted son, Carl Edward Brewer, reported a confession that Carl had killed his parents while they were smoking marijuana. Officers made two entries to the residence; the first turned up nothing obviously wrong, but a later visit revealed signs of a struggle and the faint odor of death. Carl barricaded himself inside the house during a nearly 12-hour standoff before surrendering after tear gas was used. He was charged with two counts of murder and held on $200,000 bond.

Court records and witness statements in the case describe a troubled household: Carl and his two brothers had been adopted from Russia, and witnesses alleged physical and emotional abuse by the adoptive parents, including forced sleeping on a garage concrete floor and withholding food.

Did anyone in Crowley know the Brewers or Carl Brewer and have information that could shed light on the family dynamics or what led to that night?
