We need to know why. What was so important for your son to not only take our boy but to give up his own life?
We need to close our wounds.
Anger, fear, hurt, pain are all we can feel right now. God help him.

i too am feeling all those feelings. i also need to know what went on that night or day, i as his father dont understand what went through his head. i too am greeving for your son though i didnt know him. i am also greeving for my son to throw his life away like he did.i have been talking to him on the phone over the last few weeks and my last conversation with him was he was gonna come down and spend 2 weeks with me here in rhode island and get to know me again. i have only seen him for 2 days in the last 12 years now i will only see him behind bars when i come to new york to see him. this is a tragady on both ends i assure you. i did not bring him into this world to take another human life.

please do not send hate mail, i will not tolerate it and i will report you and i will prosecute you to the fullest extent allowed by law. i too have suffered a loss here and am also looking for answers and closure.

Mr. Johnson, I am Joseph's aunt pam. His mother's sister. It would be kind of you to tell us when you find out what happened and why. I never even got to meet Joseph. We've been worlds apart. Now my chance is gone forever. One thinks they have all the time in the world. Well, we don't do we?

Stay in touch. My sister on the other hand will be very hard to deal with. She's got a lot of pain to deal with now, and as his dad is dealing with also.

Life Is a Precious Gift
If you were given a million dollars, you’d buy your self many precious things. Those things you would not harm nor destroy. You would take great pride in them. You would guard them with the earnesty of a warrior.
We don’t always do this with the people in our lives that we love. We often times take for granted that they will always be around.
In my wildest dreams I never thought I would burry a child or a grand child. But recently I have. It is the most painful experience I have ever had to face. I keep thinking “who else is God going to take from me?”“Why did my son and grand daughter have to die within two weeks of each other?”“What is the purpose of their deaths?”“Why?!”
I look back on my relationship with my son Joseph. I have so much regret. So much pain. I can hardly bare to talk about it. But I will.
Joseph and I had a great relationship for the first fifteen years of his life. Up until the last six months of this fifteenth year that is.
Our family went through some dramatic changes. He had a rough time coping with it. So did I. I made the mistake of drinking my sorrows away forgetting all about what my kids were facing. Joseph ran away from home. He ended up living with his dad. He ran away from his dad because his step mother was abusive towards him. He moved in with some of his neighbors. I lost all contact with Joseph for a year.
We were in close contact for two years. Then he suddenly stopped talking to me. The last I heard from him was two years ago. He sent his brother Ricky a birthday card. I wrote him back saying,“You know you could write to me or call.” I never heard from him again.
The last thing I ever expected was a phone call from his dad informing me that a body was found and the police thought it was Joseph.
My beautiful son is dead at the tender age of twenty one! His life was stolen. He was beaten with out mercy, and suffocated to death. That wasn’t enough. The crazy jerk set him on fire!
My heart is so heavy. I feel lost, angry, hurt, sad, empty, and so very alone. Yet I am not alone. I have five other children. One of whom wont talk to me. My eldest son hates me with all his might. My tears flow even more at the thought of my eldest son hating me as well. Still I remain in deep hope that he will come back to me.
The reason my boys hated me was because I lead a bad life style. I couldn’t change it when they were young. I succeeded in change my life style only just six years ago and made it better just a year and a half ago. I once again stopped drinking. I have been sober now for fourteen months. Even though I have lost a lot in those months I did it sober. I intend to remain that way for the rest of my life.
The regret I now face in life is, I didn’t try hard enough to let my children know how very deeply I love them. I never told them how I love watching them grow up and become the wonderful adults that they are. I haven’t thanked them for giving me grand children, yet. But I will. I haven’t told them that I love them so much that I’d give my life up for them, but I will.
Joseph, I love you! I’ll see you in heaven!
Love

we are still waiting to hear the why...

as of yet i do not have any answers. i too am in the dark about this. we are waiting on more forensic disclosure for more evidence.

this should not be taken in any way that means i think he is guilty. thats not what i meant at all. i just want to clear that up right here and now.

we will let the court decide, it's a shame this has happened, it seems that both kids came from broken (complex)homes, for every action there is reaction.

I am sorry for the lose of your newphew. I am Craig's aunt I feel the lose on both sides. I am also looking for answers on what happened that night. If there is anyone out there that nows what happened please e-mail me @ sicklady2005@yahoo.com. If Craig did it then he must pay for it. I do love him I have been in his life for some time and this don't sound like Craig. I am sorry for your's and your sister's lose.
