An Iowa teenager pleaded guilty to murder in the deaths of his parents in 2021. Ethan Alexander Orton pleaded guilty Monday to first-degree murder in the deaths of his parents 42-year-old Casey Arthur Orton and 41-year-old Misty Scott-Slade of Cedar Rapids. Police were called about 2 a.m. on Oct. 14, 2021, to check out suspicious noises coming from a home and found the then-17-year-old Orton covered in blood. According to a criminal complaint, he told police he used a knife to stab his parents and then used an ax on his mother when she appeared to be alive. Police say Orton admitted to killing his parents as part of a desire to ”“take charge of his life.” Orton will be sentenced later.
