Oregon Self-Proclaimed Apocalyptic Prophet Kills Teen Couple, Dumps Their Bodies in Garage

A teen couple was found dead in an Oregon home this week, and they were allegedly killed by a man who claimed to be an apocalyptic prophet.

Police said officers were dispatched to a home at the 20000 block of Mount Faith Place in Bend City at around 11:15 p.m. Wednesday after the homeowner reported finding a body in their garage.

Police arrived and secured the scene until the arrival of investigators, who found another body. The two victims were identified as Angela Alexus Pastorino and Alfredo Hernandez, both 18.

According to Crime Online, the teen couple was doing housework for the homeowner, who said the 41-year-old suspect Wesley Abel Brady also lived at the house.

After their work was done on Tuesday, detectives believed that Pastorino and Hernandez socialized and started drinking with the homeowner and Brady.

Police alleged that Brady got into a physical fight with Hernandez. The confrontation reportedly led to Brady, a man with a history of disturbing behavior, murdering the teen and his girlfriend, KTVZ-TV reported.

Oregon Man Claiming to be Apocalyptic Prophet Moved Teen Couple's Bodies Before Fleeing

Police said Wesley Abel Brady moved the couple's bodies into the garage after killing them. The Oregon man then fled the crime scene and went to a property he owns in another part of the state.

Brady later returned to the scene, but the police were already there, waiting to arrest him. He was then arrested and charged with aggravated murder, murder, strangulation, first-degree sodomy, first-degree sex abuse, first-degree abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. According to KATU-TV, the Oregon man is being held without bail.

Brady has reportedly had a long history of disturbing behavior, including claiming to be an apocalyptic prophet. He believed that the end of the world was coming, and his erratic behavior led to his ex-wife seeking a restraining order against him and divorcing him.

Public records showed that Brady allegedly ignited fires at a historic home in downtown Bend several years ago as part of a "ritual." Police said the "ritual" involved "trinkets among the ashes, pentagrams scrawled on surfaces, and dolls arrayed in sexually violent poses."

The Oregon man was then arrested and charged with first-degree arson and first-degree burglary. He was sentenced to a maximum of five years of probation and received mental health treatment in connection with the fires.

Brady also claimed to hear people crying and screaming. However, according to court documents, no one else heard it.

Murdered Teen Couple in Oregon Was 'Inseparable'

Loved ones of both teens reported them missing on Wednesday. The following day, two detectives and a chaplain arrived at Angela Alexus Pastorino's home to notify her mother of her death.

Her mother, Jennifer Grigg, asked if she could see her daughter but was advised against it. Erin Kevin, who mentored Pastorino via the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, said she and her boyfriend Alfredo Hernandez were "inseparable." He described them as "bright, loving teens, with family and friends who adored them." Kevin launched a GoFundMe page to help raise money for the teen couple's memorial services.
