Son Confesses to Killing Father | Phoenix News

A son accused of murdering his own father in a brutal, gruesome scene: police in El Mirage, Arizona, found a badly decomposed body in a pit after someone stumbled upon the crime scene while grabbing items from the house. The victim showed horrific injuries, including cuts and a plastic bag over his head. Michael Lee Rodriguez, the suspect, was found nearby and confessed to the killing — admitting he “lost it,” blacked out, and used a bar to strike his father before burying him. He waived his rights and now faces second-degree murder and body-hiding charges with a $2 million bond. This twisted father-son tragedy is still unfolding as authorities dig deeper.
