She had to go': A man repeatedly stabbed his own mother to death with a knife before calling 911 on himself.

Brutal family betrayal in Marshall, TX—Brian Keith Griffin (37) stabbed his mom Tammy Bogue (55) multiple times in their apartment on Nov. 27, 2024, then called 911 on himself. Pleaded guilty April 3; got 30 years (avoided 99-year max trial risk). Quick facts:

  • Crime: Midday attack; he admitted intent to kill in interview. Cops found her dead at scene.
  • Plea/Sentence: Harrison Co. Judge Brad Morin sentenced fast. Defense cited mental health history (suicide attempt, treatments), but he confirmed sanity/competence. Family agreed to deal for accountability.
  • Family reaction: DA Reid McCain praised their cooperation—they “love him but know he needs to be held accountable.” Aunt rejected MH excuse: “Betrayal of trust… She deserved to live. Now you have to go.”
FactorDetails
MotiveUnstated; MH cited but not insanity defense
Outcome30 years; family input key
Impact“Lost two” members—killer & victim

TX matricides rare but stark (DOJ: ~250/year U.S.); plea spared “battle of experts.” Echoes your mental health/violence themes amid gun cases.
