JACKSONVILLE, FL – When a powerful hurricane tore through Florida, a mother sought safety at her son’s home—only to stumble upon a chilling scene. On October 9, as Hurricane Milton raged outside, the 71-year-old arrived at her 32-year-old son’s Jacksonville residence. The storm passed by the next day, but what she encountered inside would unravel a grim tale of violence.

Body Found in Bedroom

After the hurricane calmed, the son, Robert Hendrix, left the house to run errands.

Alone in the home, his mother entered a bedroom and came across a large brown tarp. Inside, she found the lifeless body of 43-year-old Kristin Carrier, Hendrix’s girlfriend. Shaken, the mother reached out to her daughter, who arrived to take her away from the scene.

Hendrix returned from the store to find his mother and sister waiting. When they confronted him about the body, he grew agitated, prompting the women to leave and contact police.
