Suspected gunman susposedly distraught over divorce
Posted August 4th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.comThe mother of Scott Johnson — the man suspected of murdering several teens swimming in Wisconsin woods — is saying that he “turned inward” after his wife left him.
Judy Johnson shared a home with her 38-year-old son and described him as a once-carefree father who became introverted after his wife left him seven years ago and took their two children to Ohio.
“He kept saying, ‘I lost everything; I have nothing,”‘ his mother told The Associated Press on Sunday. “He just grew heartsick and started turning inward.”
She said she didn’t think her son had had a girlfriend since his divorce.
Police officers came to the Johnson residence on Thursday afternoon and left a business card. They didn’t tell Judy Johnson that they were investigating a complaint that her son had sexually assaulted a woman on Wednesday at the river.
