Harrouff, who had no previous arrest record, told deputies: "Help me, I ate something bad." Haley Harrouff told detectives she had found her brother wandering the house one night saying he had the power to open locked doors. Harrouff's father, Wade Harrouff, told investigators that they had gone for a walk the afternoon before the killings and came across two turtle shells. Wade Harrouff said that after they were seated, his son complained that the food was taking too long and left. After Wade Harrouff called her, she took her son back to the restaurant.
