Surviving brother of Princeton Preppy murder suspect Matthew Hartgen texted his youngest brother, warning that the brother was struggling with “vision” about an hour before the brother was brutally murdered, and a newly revealed court documentary show.
Matthew Hertgen, 31, is accused of shaking and beat his 26-year-old brother, Joseph Hertgen, who died in Princeton late last month in Princeton, Princeton, and beat his 26-year-old brother, Joseph Hertgen, before tearing his relatives' eyes and eating them.
Their other brother later told officers he sent a text message to Joseph telling him if he needed to help deal with the troubled brother. Retrieved by NJ.com.
“I'll do,” replied Joseph – the filing shows about an hour before he was hacked.
The surviving brother, who spent several hours with Hartgen on the day of the murder, told investigators that the brothers later suffered mental health and “extremely suffered, discouraged, and experienced a terrible vision” leading up to the murder.
“I want to help him, [the surviving brother] I picked up Matthew on top [redacted] Around 4:30pm [The surviving brother] Matthew went to the grocery store and [the surviving brother’s] Residence… They remained until around 10pm,” the presumed cause statement said.
The surviving brother dropped a heart gen in the apartment where Joseph was.
After sending a creepy warning message to Joseph, the other brothers also texted Hertgen to invite him on a hike the next day, urging him to “hang out there.”
Less than 45 minutes later, Hartgen called 911 to report his suspicious twisted runaway.
Grimm details include Hartgen, a former college soccer star, faced Mercer County Superior Court on Thursday on charges of murder and animal cruelty.
The defendant's murderer faces 30 years of life in prison if convicted.
Authorities have yet to reveal the motives of Hartgen's spiral for the murderous insanity.
