Dima James Tower murdered his adoptive parents, Robbie James Tower and Jennifer Christine Tower, on Aug. 31, 2023, police said. The couple appears at right in a picture Jennifer Tower posted to Facebook on Oct. 5, 2016, announcing her and her husband’s trip to Ukraine. She announced the following Christmas season that they adopted Dima Tower. (Mug shot: Sarasota County Jail; images of the couple: Jennifer Tower’s Facebook account)

When Jennifer Christine Tower and Robbie James Tower first met the Ukrainian boy who would eventually become Dima James Tower in Ukraine, they were Christian missionaries visiting the Eastern European nation, and he was — according to a member of the Towers’ family — a local teenager with a dead mother and an absent, alcoholic father. The couple took him in as their son.

Now, years later, Dima Tower, 22, stands accused of brutally murdering the couple at their home in North Port, Florida.

He had allegedly lashed out throughout the years, starting fights at school and even giving Robbie Tower a black eye. And yet the couple took him back in after briefly sending him to live with relatives on Jennifer Tower’s side of the family, said Robbie Towers’ uncle, Warren Rines.

“That’s how much he loved him,” Rines told the New York Post. “They forgave him for everything. They bought him a car, whatever he wanted or needed.”
