CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO: Shocking details have emerged in the case of Chad Christopher Doerman, a 32-year-old Ohio father who stands accused of executing two of his sons before he allegedly "hunted" down and shot the third. Bodycam video recorded the aftermath as deputies responding to 911 calls arrived at the scene on the evening of June 15.

In one disturbing moment, Doerman displayed concern about his own comfort, saying seemingly disregarding the severity of his heinous actions. "Can I roll over?" Doerman asks, cuffed and prone on the ground. "I ain't gonna hurt ya. I ain't gonna hurt nobody." The deputy presses him, "What's going on, man?" "Nothing, can I stand up?" Doerman replies. "It's kind of uncomfortable." He is currently being held on $20 million bail, facing three charges of aggravated murder in connection with the shooting deaths of his three young boys, aged 3, 4, and 7.



 

'You have the right to remain silent. F---ing use it!'

The disturbing bodycam video released by authorities shows deputies approaching Doerman, who is calmly seated on his porch as they discover the lifeless bodies of the children scattered across the lawn. The deputies ordered him to show his hands and stand up while he remains seated on the porch, with a rifle beside him. Doerman is wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and socks, but no shoes, and a smear of blood is visible on his left arm.

One deputy forcefully grabs Doerman by the wrist and the back of his neck, pulling him to the ground, while another officer proceeds to handcuff him. Throughout the released videos, the screen is intentionally obscured by black bars where the boys' bodies are located. After Doerman is restrained, deputies rush to provide aid to the victims. While the injured children receive medical attention, deputies accompany him towards a cruiser, he can be heard asking, "Can you get the wallet out of my pocket?" to which an officer disgustingly replies, "Shut up, dude – you have the right to remain silent. F---ing use it."

'Their protector was murdering them!'

In addition to the allegations of killing his sons, Doerman is also accused of injuring their mother during the attack. During his arraignment, prosecutors asserted that he confessed to lining up his children in the yard and shooting them. "This is by far the most sickening, horrifying crime I have seen," Clermont County Prosecutor Mark Tekulve said, according to WKRC-TV. "I can only imagine the terror these little boys felt and experienced as their father – their protector – was murdering them."

Authorities have revealed that one of the boys attempted to escape, but Doerman allegedly pursued and forcefully brought him back home before shooting him. Doerman is scheduled to appear in court again on June 26 as the legal process unfolds.
