In a chilling 911 call, an Ohio man openly confessed to killing his father, prompting an immediate police response and raising questions about his mental state.
“I’m not gonna lie, I just killed my father,” said 25-year-old Micaiah Swindler, shortly after dialing emergency services. When the dispatcher asked for clarification, Swindler confirmed bluntly: “Like, he’s dead.”
Police in Marysville had already responded to the Swindler residence earlier that same day, investigating a domestic dispute reportedly sparked by an argument over household chores — specifically, doing the dishes.
The situation escalated drastically when Swindler called back hours later, stating that he had stabbed his father. Authorities later identified the victim as 59-year-old Joe Swindler.
When asked by the dispatcher why he committed the act, Micaiah replied, “God, God told me to.” The dispatcher asked him to repeat himself, and Swindler added, “Yes, ma’am… I had orders.”
Neighbor Rich Digney, who witnessed police arriving at the scene, told ABC13 Houston that Swindler appeared eerily calm as officers took him into custody.
In court, prosecutors labeled Swindler as a danger to the community. A judge agreed and set his bond at $1 million. His next court appearance is scheduled for May 1.
The case continues to unfold as investigators dig deeper into Swindler’s background and mental state.
