GA Teen Charged With Murder After Dropping Tub With Woman’s Dismembered Torso

18-year-old Kingston Bradley has been charged with malice murder after neighbors saw him carrying a plastic tub with a dismembered torso inside. Police had just left that same apartment complex after a woman’s family reported her missing, claiming her cell phone’s location was nearby. Investigators then found more body parts in the trunk of Bradley’s vehicle that were later identified as missing 26-year-old Shanteria Mosley. Bradley’s father is now speaking out, defending himself and pointing to his son’s years long history of mental illness.

00:00:02
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Monday, September 28th. A murder and dismemberment in Georgia, and an 18-year-old is facing murder charges. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. A story here, Robes, that we are, and it seems the police are, still trying to piece together. And some of these details are frankly bizarre, but what we do know, Robes, is that There's been a murder and there's an 18-year-old who's been charged with it.

00:00:32
Speaker 2: Right?

00:00:33
Speaker 3: 18-year-old Kingston Bradley is his name. And yes, he has been arrested, charged with malice, murder, and concealing the death of another. And this all began, this gruesome discovery was made when police started investigating a missing person. They did not expect the shocking discovery. They went out to an apartment complex.

00:00:55
Speaker 2: In Smyrna, Georgia.

00:00:56
Speaker 3: And this was the last known location of this missing woman's phone. She's a DoorDash delivery driver. Her family grew concerned, so they go knocking on doors to neighbors.

00:01:07
Speaker 2: They find nothing. They leave. Then another phone call comes in.

00:01:12
Speaker 1: Well, again, this is how we're piecing together. And while we say this is a strange story, you say murder and dismemberment. That will get your attention. That will get headlines. But it is a lot of how the story came about and how it was discovered that just don't make a whole lot of sense. And you wonder what in God's name was this young man possibly thinking? And I say young man, Rose, we haven't talked about. There's zero chance if you showed me his picture, I would have thought he was 18. Yes, he looks so much older.

00:01:39
Speaker 2: His mugshot, we haven't discussed this. I was shocked. I thought he looks like he's 38 today.

00:01:44
Speaker 1: And again, I guess some people, yeah, some folks look a little older and a little younger. There's zero. I thought I clicked on several places to confirm that that is what I was looking at. But for a lot of folks, Smyrna, Georgia is just west of downtown Atlanta in Cobb County, very populous and popular place out there, Cobb County, Georgia. So Smyrna is a wonderful, frankly, little town, good communities, good shopping. It's got a mall. Officially now the Braves, the stadium went into Cobb County. It's a happening place. It is. It's a good family place.

00:02:14
Speaker 2: It's a wonderful place to live.

00:02:15
Speaker 3: And this is a very shocking situation because after police left, neighbors saw somebody. Turns out it was 18-year-old Kingston Bradley with a tub. When he saw that they noticed him, he's carrying this big plastic tub.

00:02:31
Speaker 2: That's how it's been described. They see him. He drops the tub and runs off.

00:02:37
Speaker 3: They go to see what's inside the tub and immediately call police because turns out, yes.

00:02:43
Speaker 2: It was a dismembered torso.

00:02:46
Speaker 3: So police come back to the same apartment complex they were just at 30 minutes ago to find this discovery, and that wasn't all they ultimately ended up finding.

00:02:58
Speaker 1: No, and again, that part of the story there, what was this young man thinking, right? What could he possibly have been thinking? What could he possibly have been scared of? What did he think he was going to get away with if he just drops the body of the woman that he purportedly has killed? What did he think was going to happen? I do not know. But the police who had already searched, they had canvassed this area already after the missing persons report, but they get called back out. This happens. They get a search warrant, go through the trunk, and it didn't take them long, they say, Robes, to figure out what was going on in that trunk. Several bags... They didn't open at the time. They had to wait for a medical examiner to come out, but they could say, or see Robes, they say clearly the outline of a human body part based on the bags in the trunk. And now the investigation begins, Robes.

00:03:49
Speaker 3: Yes, and the disturbing, well, there's so many disturbing parts to this, but investigators say they're still searching for other parts of the victim's body that the murder investigation is active and ongoing because they don't believe they have all of the body parts, but this is such a disturbing story because this young woman, it took a while for them. They had to go through DNA testing to actually determine that it was, in fact, her, the missing woman. And we should say her name, 26-year-old Chanteria Mosley. She went by the name KT. And yeah, she was a DoorDash driver. And initially they thought maybe she was delivering food to Kingston Bradley or someone in the neighborhood, but Upon further investigation, she wasn't working that day.

00:04:35
Speaker 2: They say she wasn't on the clock.

00:04:37
Speaker 3: So they have no idea why she was at this apartment complex and what, if any, relation she may have to Kingston Bradley. But they haven't figured out motive. They haven't figured out a relationship. There is a lot of mystery surrounding this case. Yeah.

00:04:52
Speaker 1: Why she's there? Why there at all in the first place? The family's not aware of these folks. It doesn't seem like his family... is aware of her, at least at this point we haven't. No, from what we've heard from the family. I don't know who this young lady is. What in God's name happened? And where in God's name did this happen? We have seen, unfortunately, some recent cases. Jesus Christ, dismemberments happen a lot.

00:05:16
Speaker 3: It does feel like we're covering them quite a bit, and it is incredibly disturbing to think.

00:05:21
Speaker 2: I mean, you go back immediately to David.

00:05:25
Speaker 3: David.

00:05:27
Speaker 2: Singer David.

00:05:28
Speaker 3: I mean, how did he think he was going to get away with that? He put the body in his own trunk. Again, this kid, same thing, apparently was transporting body parts out of the apartment into the trunk of his car.

00:05:41
Speaker 1: Well, who was the guy that his wife just sudden death syndrome or something and then he had to He didn't kill her, but he had to cut her body up. That was a case we covered last year.

00:05:59
Speaker 2: That was a bizarre one.

00:06:00
Speaker 1: Yes. So this happens quite a bit. So what I'm saying is, Rose, we've covered a lot where we've heard about scenes and where they have to. David had the pool. He was trying to the inflatable pool. It's messy. Where did this guy do this?

00:06:15
Speaker 2: I believe in their apartment. That is what police.

00:06:18
Speaker 1: Where he lived with family?

00:06:19
Speaker 2: Court documents.

00:06:20
Speaker 3: Officers found blood-stained areas, a bloody saw, a mop, a bucket of water, and a carpet cleaner inside Bradley's apartment, along with a strong smell of bleach.

00:06:31
Speaker 1: He lived.

00:06:32
Speaker 2: With his father.

00:06:33
Speaker 1: With his dad. Yes. Where has dad been? Must have been a long work trip. Must have been on the road for a little while. Robes, that does not How in God's name is that possible that this happened undetected? Is the dad maybe gone for the day? Maybe he's out eight hours and the guy had time to do.

00:06:51
Speaker 2: Not a lot of time.

00:06:52
Speaker 3: That's why maybe he had to or he thought by dismembering the body and taking it out piece by piece to his car, he could get it out in time before his dad arrived. But clearly when police did look in the apartment, it was pretty obvious that something happened very violent in that home. And obviously the forensic teams are still there getting all of the evidence to link the two, at least the body parts, to the blood that they found in the home.

00:07:17
Speaker 2: But this is beyond disturbing.

00:07:19
Speaker 3: And we talk all the time about how phones, phones, phones, phones, this woman's family. I mean, we've seen missing people. They reported her missing pretty quickly. They were worried about her. They were able to track her phone. They knew that her phone was in that apartment complex. That is the only reason why police even knew to go to the apartment complex in the first place. Now, they didn't link the two together until the witnesses, until the neighbors saw this young kid carrying out a tub with a torso in it.

00:07:50
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just, I cannot imagine this scene again.

00:07:52
Speaker 3: We described Smyrna, Georgia, and it's just, it's like some bizarre movie, awful horror movie that you would never imagine was taking place in your neighborhood.

00:08:02
Speaker 1: Well, this just doesn't make any sense. And let this, once again, Rose, I've been Pushing and pushing this. To hell with privacy. We should all be following each other on our phones.

00:08:13
Speaker 2: It's true.

00:08:14
Speaker 1: Robes, we should know our loved one's location. This is so valuable. And Robes, we don't know what happened here. And no, they didn't get there in time. But the family sent the cops directly to where that phone was.

00:08:30
Speaker 3: Yep.

00:08:30
Speaker 1: Directly to where she was. And no, they didn't find her that first time around, babe, but. Man, these things. You know people's patterns. You know. We know if we don't hear from Sabine at a certain time after school, we start, like, where you at? We have heard. There are patterns. They knew immediately. They love this woman and knew something was up.

00:08:49
Speaker 2: 26 years old, DoorDash driver.

00:08:52
Speaker 3: And by the way, this Kingston Bradley, this is of note because we are hearing that there were and are some mental health issues with him. But he is known to law enforcement. He was previously charged with terroristic threats and acts. Battery and trespassing. This was an incident that allegedly occurred in December of 2024. So, look, he has a violent history. He has a mental health history. And right now we know he is being held without bond. But something very interesting happened when we come back. His father is speaking out and defending himself after this incident.

00:09:41
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ.

00:09:43
Speaker 3: We are talking about 18-year-old Kingston Bradley, now charged with murder for the murder and the dismemberment of.

00:09:51
Speaker 2: A 26-year-old woman. Her name is Shantiria Mosley. We don't know the motive.

00:09:55
Speaker 3: We actually don't even know her cause of death right now. Investigators are trying to piece together. this gruesome and brutal crime that all apparently took place in the apartment he shares with his own father. And you alerted me to this today, that his father has now gone online to make a statement of his own because, yeah, you were questioning and people were questioning, what the.

00:10:16
Speaker 2: Hell, dude? How did this happen? in your own home, and you didn't know.

00:10:22
Speaker 1: My first thought, I mean, I didn't think the dad necessarily is up to something. My first thought is he had to have been out of the house all day. He had to have been removed from that home for a certain amount of time. Otherwise, it is virtually impossible to live with someone in a two-bedroom apartment. And they are chopping up a body, and you are unaware of what's happening in the home. This is just not some big, expansive apartment building. This is not some penthouse. No, ropes. They're on top of each other.

00:10:50
Speaker 3: Exactly.

00:10:50
Speaker 1: So that part is impossible. So I'm curious to hear. And I am giving the dad immediately the benefit of the doubt and going, oh, maybe it's this, maybe it's that. This is the internet. The internet's not going to give the dad the benefit of the doubt.

00:11:02
Speaker 3: No, they're not. And they believe right now, the police say that they believe she was killed in the morning and he was caught literally bringing out her torso, I believe, right around 8 p.m.

00:11:16
Speaker 2: So, yes. So that's a very long period of time.

00:11:19
Speaker 3: And there have been I did see several reports that claimed his father was at the apartment on Wednesday. Now, Kenneth Bradley released this statement and he is in full defense mode. He said, I logged back in to clear up some rumors about me in regards to my son's situation. First and foremost, I'm sending my deepest condolences to the family of the young lady and her family. Kingston has been dealing with mental illness for the past six years. Everyone who knows me knows that I work 10 to 12 hours daily.

00:11:51
Speaker 2: If I'm not at my regular job, I'm somewhere doing a side job.

00:11:56
Speaker 3: Like you, I have many questions as to the specifics of what happened, when.

00:12:00
Speaker 2: And where.

00:12:01
Speaker 3: What I can say for certain is that I had no involvement with this incident, nor had any knowledge of the incident. I did not know the victim or her family, and do not know how or if my son knew her prior to the incident.

00:12:14
Speaker 2: I'm not on the run.

00:12:16
Speaker 3: I told the detectives everything I knew about my son. My family and I did not have anything to do with Kingston's actions. I'm getting inbox messages and screenshots.

00:12:27
Speaker 2: That are full of lies.

00:12:28
Speaker 3: I hope to do an interview with the news station for the public to help clear up this matter. From my perspective, I can't imagine how painful this is for the victim's family. Please allow the law to do their job. I am fully cooperating with law enforcement. They know of my whereabouts.

00:12:46
Speaker 1: Clearly, he's responding to stuff that's coming his way. You can only imagine how nasty that stuff is. not an indictment right now, then it shouldn't be. He could be completely unaware. And Robes, there are some parents in some places who will hear that and recognize some stuff. Like, I'm trying to keep lights on and food on the table. I'm working 12 hours a day. My main job, I don't have weekends off because I got to do a second job as well. You're right. You hear something in there and like, damn, he's just not aware of what's going on. Can't be there all the time type of thing. I don't know that, but I heard that immediately. And what he's saying is my first thought is, man, he must've been out at work or something. Yes.

00:13:24
Speaker 2: That's my first thought as well.

00:13:26
Speaker 3: And also look, he is, he's basically saying his son did it.

00:13:31
Speaker 1: My son did it.

00:13:31
Speaker 2: My son did it. My son has mental health issues. And again, that's just so sad.

00:13:35
Speaker 3: I think about that from the perspective of, you know, your child is sick. Can you get the help you need for him? Is help available? Did you know he had violent tendencies? I mean, obviously, he had a previous incident with making terrorist threats at acts. I mean, it's scary to think that even with the awareness of family members that your child is in trouble, your son is mentally off. What can be done to protect folks and people from someone who has violent tendencies, who is mentally unstable?

00:14:07
Speaker 2: Whose father has to work long days and long hours. I mean, this is an awful situation.

00:14:12
Speaker 1: We just don't know. And the only indication of mental health history is the dad. And he's been dealing with a six years. So when you're talking about a kid that's 12 years old, like they identified this early and who knows? And we just don't know, babe. We just, once again, another, are we covering them more? Are we seeing them more? Maybe it's just a, maybe it's how news spreads these days or whatever. Just, it's a lot of high profile dismemberments and murders and these types of crimes and trials. I don't know, babe.

00:14:42
Speaker 2: And I'm just shocked that people think they can get away with it. That's the other thing. Like, how do you think that's going to.

00:14:47
Speaker 3: Go unnoticed, not only by your neighbors, by your father, and certainly by a family who was missing their loved one, their 26-year-old Chanteria Mosley.

00:14:57
Speaker 2: So our hearts go out to her family.

00:14:59
Speaker 1: What was the story? Oh, damn it. I'm so sorry. I keep doing this and have these brain farts. We just did the story about the killer. He was executed and they thought he was responsible for so many deaths of men in Florida. Yes.

00:15:11
Speaker 2: Right.

00:15:11
Speaker 1: It was up to a dozen men that never were identified and were killed. Robes, those and who was the the Gilgo Beach killer?

00:15:19
Speaker 3: Yes.

00:15:19
Speaker 1: Got away with it for how long? Decades.

00:15:21
Speaker 2: Decades. Yes.

00:15:22
Speaker 1: What were those all that those victims had? What in common? They were transient. They were homeless. They didn't have people looking for them. And these people, quite frankly, got away with murder for decades. Yes. Some that aren't even solved. Yes. This woman was loved. Looking for immediately.

00:15:37
Speaker 2: I even think about Tasia Fortune. We did the story. We've been covering that.

00:15:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, man.

00:15:41
Speaker 3: Where she was missing for days and days. A mother of four.

00:15:44
Speaker 1: Yes.

00:15:45
Speaker 3: No one even called in her being missing because she was.

00:15:50
Speaker 2: Transient. She was experiencing homelessness.

00:15:52
Speaker 3: And so, yes, this woman had within hours, family members tracking her phone and saying, where is she? And unfortunately, they got the news. They were that no one wants to receive, but at least they are. They do have closure. Justice is taking shape right now. And yeah, our hearts go out to the Mosley family. That's just got to be the absolute worst possible outcome.

00:16:15
Speaker 2: But we'll continue to follow.

00:16:17
Speaker 3: The details behind Kingston Bradley and what happens next for him as he is charged with murder. And with that, everyone, we appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes.

00:16:28
Speaker 2: We'll talk soon.
