The son of a couple who were found dead in a suspected murder-suicide revealed more details about their relationship in a harrowing 911 call.
As previously reported, Olin Johnson, 57, is believed to have fatally shot his wife Kerilyn Johnson, 52, before turning the gun on himself last month.
The couple, who had celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary in April and who share six children, were found dead in their $1.34-million American Fork, Utah home, according to KUTV.
Police confirmed at the time that a family member had found the couple's bodies, but no motive was shared for the killing.
Now, new details have come to light about the couple's relationship, after an audio recording was obtained of their son calling 911 after finding his parents dead.
The harrowing eight-minute call was obtained by ABC4, in which the caller allegedly says: "I think my dad killed my mom, but then he killed himself."
The operator then asked: "Are they beyond help?", to which he responded: "I, yeah. Yes."
When asked if he saw any weapons in the area, the caller allegedly replied: "Yes. There is a gun."
During the call, which was made on June 20 at around 12:40PM, the dispatcher then asked: "Have they been violent? Do they have a history of fighting, or...?”
Their son then allegedly responded: "No, but there’s been a lot of drama recently in the household. Just within the past four days."
While he did not elaborate on what he meant by "drama", the couple's son also spoke about a previous incident in which their father allegedly spent a short time in jail.
He is reported to have said: "There was one instance of like a year or two ago that I think my mom, I don’t know, my dad was chucking stuff around the house.
"He had a — he went to jail for a little bit, but nothing, like, I don’t think like contact physically."
The couple, who were Mormon, had met in a college bookstore and had celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary in April.
While they had often shared photos of happy times together on Facebook, Olin wrote a concerning Facebook status just days before their deaths.
He shared photos of him with his motorcycle on June 18, writing: "No matter how crappy a person I am, motorcycles always love me back. Oh and skiing. Skiing loves me too."
According to Olin's obituary, he was "always calm, thoughtful, kind and professional” with a “compassion for those in need” and a “constant source of calm and strength to his family.”
Their joint obituary adds: "As we cope with immense sorrow, mourning the loss of Kerilyn, our beautiful mother, daughter, and sister, we also mourn for Olin, despite his actions.
"We are overwhelmed with love and support from the community and express our deepest appreciation and gratitude. If you or someone you love is in crisis, please reach out for help.”
Neighbors had said they did not notice anything unusual about the couple the night before their deaths, as they had played softball together, and said Olin had reportedly spoken about future plans.
A GoFundMe was set up in the wake of the tragedy to help the couple's children, and has currently raised over $89,000.
The American Fork Police said: "The family is requesting privacy as they grieve their loss. We express our most profound and sincere condolences to the family and friends of Olin and Kerilyn."
