Grandparents and grandkids are supposed to have a special bond. Their house is the one we run to when we need that extra love and support. Grandparents deserve our love, attention and respect - which is what makes any crime committed against grandparents so heinous.

Murdered

While any crime is awful, a case in Georgia is particularly troubling. Two grandparents are dead, at the hands of their 17-year-old granddaughter and her 19-year-old boyfriend. The troubled teen admits to the killings, saying that the couple also planned to kill her mother and her boyfriend's family.

No motive was ever established for the killings.

Family Violence

Johnny Rider and his girlfriend Cassie Bjorge were arrested after the pair assaulted Rider's sister with pepper spray and baseball bats. Rider's sister, Mindy, said she came home to find her room trashed, with several items missing. She and her boyfriend confronted Rider, which is when the attack began.

He sprayed the pair with pepper spray and then began hitting the boyfriend. He yelled for Cassie to get a baseball bat. Mindy tried to stop the attack, but Bjorge turned on her, hitting her repeatedly on the head and back.

Tomoko Rider, Johnny's mother, called 911 and he and Bjorge fled.

Bodies Discovered

Police arrived and found A Mazda SUV belonging to Wendy and Randall Bjorge. Cops had done a welfare check on the couple earlier in the week, but weren't able to reach the pair. Finding the car at the scene of a violent assault raised serious concerns about their safety.

Police entered the home of the Bjorges and made a disturbing discovery. They found the elderly couple dead, "obviously murdered" as one cop put it.They are believed to have been deceased for days.

The next day the Rider family helped police locate Johnny and his girlfriend. The pair were holed up inside a friend's apartment. Police tried to reach them and coax out the pair, but they refused - barricading themselves inside.

Police used a robot to enter the home where they discovered that Bjorge and Rider had stabbed themselves. They broke down the door and extracted the unconscious couple.

Police wouldn't speculate on why the teens stabbed themselves, but it stands to reason that they tried to commit suicide.

Partied After The Murder

In court, Bjorge admitted to the murders. She said they slit her grandparents throats, and had a party at the house after they died. Their friends spent the night, never knowing what was lying upstairs. Police say Bjorge and Rider spent days in the house, smoking pot and having sex while the bodies of her grandparents rotted.

Tried To Kill Again

Bjorge said the attack on Rider's sister was supposed to be much worse. They had concocted a plan to kill his family, but Rider balked when unknown cars were in the driveway. Still, the pair needed money so they tried robbing the home.

Lived With Grandparents

Cassie Bjorge lived and was home-schooled by her grandparents. They received custody of her in 2016 after her mother was deemed unfit. They're reported her missing numerous times, including in the months before the murder.

"Had Enough"

While no motive has been released Detective Dave Brucz said only "She had basically had enough of her grandparents."

The two teens face a minimum penalty of life in prison.
