Aja Johnson Missing
It’s been 60 days today since Aja Johnson was abducted and her mother Tonya was found beaten to death inside an RV. Since then, investigators in Oklahoma have issued a warrant for Lester Hobbs arrest charging him with first degree murder and kidnapping. I spoke with Deputy U.S. Marshal Arthur Templeton out of the Lawton office again today, and he said there has been no activity on the case. A couple of weeks ago he stated that they have, “not had anything viable on the vehicle, Aja Johnson, or Lester Hobbs,” and sadly that is still the case today. Templteton did mention that he has a meeting with the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigations later today, and they have plans to discuss new ideas to keep this case in the spotlight.
When this case originally broke, there was a massive ice storm that swept through most of the state of Oklahoma. The storm paralyzed the region for 8 – 14 days. During that period, many folks were without power, so some have not even heard about the Amber Alert or the murder. That ice storm is long gone, and there are still no signs of this child.

Kenneth David Howell was taken down by U.S. Marshals and members of the South Salt Lake police in Utah after an overnight raid. Howell was rounded up around 4:30 a.m. EST when investigators found him hiding inside his aunt’s home. Howell, a convicted felon, was wanted for an array of charges including murder, rape, and aggravated sexual assault of a child. Authorities believe he killed his wife in California in August 2009, and then raped her 13-year-old teenage daughter after the murder. The FBI says his wife’s hands were bound with duct tape, and she was found with a plastic bag around her head. Howell was booked at the Salt Lake County jail and is currently awaiting extradition back to California. Great work!
