A Missouri man is facing murder charges after he allegedly stabbed his father around 50 times and then walked into a sheriff’s office to confess on Wednesday, claiming he “accidentally killed” his dad.
Jeffrey Goedde, 41, was arrested last week in the murder of Edward Goedde, 75, after he entered the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and quickly spilled his alleged crime to authorities around 11:40 a.m.
“I made a mistake,” he said, according to a criminal complaint obtained by Law and Crime. “I committed a crime, and I want to turn myself in.”
According to the complaint filed by the MPD, Jeffrey Goedde, 41, walked into the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office on December 18 to confess, telling officers that his father was unconscious and bleeding in the kitchen.
“Goedde reported that his father was unconscious in the kitchen and that he was bleeding from his face and back and that he used weapons and hands to strike his father,” the complaint stated.
Officers performed a welfare check at the father’s residence where they encountered a “strong presence of bleach,” according to the complaint. Inside the kitchen, they found the victim face down with what they described as “multiple areas of trauma and stab wounds.”
A kitchen knife, believed to be the murder weapon, was located in a trash can about five feet from the body.
When police informed Goedde of their findings, he reportedly said he understood he was not free to leave because he had “accidentally killed someone,” the complaint said.
An autopsy revealed the father had been stabbed approximately 50 times and had sustained multiple injuries, including broken bones, strangulation marks, and blunt force trauma to the head, face, and back.
