Florida man accused of killing mom and burning body because she ‘wanted to be cremated’A 23-year-old man from Florida, George Beemer, has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree arson, and abuse of a dead human body after allegedly killing his mother and setting her body on fire. According to an arrest report, Beemer shot his mother and then set her body alight because she had expressed a desire to be cremated. The incident occurred after Beemer called 911 claiming chest pain, but authorities discovered his mother's severely burned body during a subsequent fire investigation. Beemer reportedly confessed to the crime, stating that he had harbored years of resentment toward his mother, including claims of past abuse, though some individuals close to the victim dispute these allegations. Authorities praised the swift and professional handling of the case by law enforcement.

The lawsuit, filed in Delaware, alleges the teens experienced social media addiction, sleep deprivation, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. The case was brought by the Social Media Victims Law Center on behalf of families from four U.S. states, with victims aged 13 to 18. The firms argue that social media companies have eroded public trust and exacerbated a youth mental health crisis.

According to newly released arrest reports, Johnson allegedly used a network of accomplices to evade capture, including her roommate Bobbie Jean Wagstaff, 31, who is charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder and possession of methamphetamine.

Exelby, who had a history of suicidal ideation and mental health diagnoses, reportedly planned to pay Hall $4,000 to assist in her death. She disappeared in October 2025 and was found dead in a shallow grave in Ocala, Florida.
