The party was just getting started when Mike Young arrived with 10 or so of his friends around 11:30 p.m.

No one was convinced by this, but at 8:15 p.m., Tyler posted another message:Īshley Haze messaged: “WHAO what what if your parents come home” Tyler posted a message on his Facebook wall:

Tyler Hadley: tryin to have a party at my cribĪntonio Ramirez: Your parents ain’t home?Īt 1:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 16, 2011, Hadley received a Facebook message from his friend Antonio Ramirez.Īntonio Ramirez: Chillen what you doin tonight? When his friends asked whether the party was still on, Tyler replied, “I’m working on it.” They assumed that meant it was off. He’d never thrown a party before, and it was impossible to believe that his parents, who had been increasingly strict with him lately, would give their consent. Tyler had been telling his friends all week that he was going to have a party, but nobody believed him. Where exactly Tyler’s parents had traveled, or how far, no one seemed to know. Lucie High, and, most crucially, his parents were out of town. Word was that his name was Tyler Hadley, he attended Port St. You could tell it was going to be a huge party because almost nobody had heard of the kid who was throwing it.
