I think we can all agree that everyone goes through their angsty teen phase where they don’t want to listen to their parents and want to operate to the beat of their own drum, but for 16-year-old Adam Sapikowski, the beat of his drum was a little off.
Adam was the son of his extremely successful parents Jim and Alison Sapikowski and lived a life of “If I want it, I get it” which was in direct result of his parent’s business. The family lived in a 5,000 sq ft home worth an upwards of $680,000 back in 2005, and he attended Durham Academy, which at the time cost $16,000 per year per student. Adam drove a brand-new Chevy Tahoe and had access to his parent’s line of credit somewhere around $48,000 at any given time.
Adam and the rest of the Sapikowski children were set up for success and lived in a loving home environment, so when Adam’s grades started to slip and Prom was approaching rapidly, his parents wouldn’t allow him to get his way unless they saw improvement. Just two nights before his Prom, Adam would allegedly get into a verbal argument with his father Jim and it would have a deadly conclusion.
Listen to Tiffany tell Sam about the curious tale of a teenager gone rogue over a seemingly small disagreement that just may have been avoided if only Adam got help for his mental health.
