Son accused of stabbing mother to death the day after Christmas

Authorities claim a son is responsible for stabbing his mother to death and injuring his two sisters the day after Christmas.

Twenty-three-year-old Connor Crumrine faces several charges for the attack that happened on Chelsea Court in Charlotte County.

Deputies said Crumrine stabbed his mom in the neck and stabbed his two sisters, one in the back and the other in the hand.

Crumrine’s mother, Jennifer Crumrine, told him she had plans to take him to a mental health care center. In order to do so, Jennifer stayed home from a planned family cruise.

Crumrine began stalling, which led his mother to tell Crumrine’s sister to call the facility and let them know what was happening.

According to the 911 call, when his sister went to make the call, Crumrine began stabbing his mother.

“He’ll probably live with resent and regret for the rest of his life, sadly,” said Michelle Lipscomb, a neighbor, “but he needs to get the help he deserves. It’s not his fault. He’s ill. But he needs that support and help from our resources to get him well, and to hopefully repair the family. If there’s any way to possibly do that.”

Crumrine’s bond has been set at $710,000, and his next court date is scheduled for Jan. 29.

Crumrine is ordered to have no contact with his sisters and no firearms or weapons in his possession.
