The mother of beheading suspect Alton Nolen apologized to the families of the two victims in a short video posted on Facebook Saturday night.
“My heart is just so heavy right now,” Joyce Nolen said. “That’s not my son.”
The mother explained in the video that what her son is accused of doing is so unlike the good kid she raised up in a loving home.
“My son was raised up believing in God. That’s what he believes,” she said.
The mother apologized halfway through the video which plays for one minute and 38 seconds.
“His family, our hearts bleed right now because what they saying Alton has done,” she said. “I want to apologize to both families — because this is not Alton.”
The mother also said she is praying that justice will prevail and “the whole story will come out.”
Also speaking in the video is Megan Nolen, one of the suspect’s sisters. Megan Nolen said his family is in shock because he has never been a violent person.
“We’re praying for both of the victims’ families and the victims,” Megan Nolen said.
“Yes,” her mother adds.
The mother lives in Idabel, where Alton Nolen went to high school.
The two did not say their names in the dimly lit video made inside a residence. The Oklahoman confirmed their identities Sunday with Paige Nolen, who also is a sister of the suspect.
“We are all very remorseful,” Paige Nolen told The Oklahoman. “If he had a chance to say anything, more than likely he would be apologizing, and that’s what we want the world to know.”
From an article yesterday, he posted on Tuesday that the end was near.

Beautiful human being God Bless her soul!! The scum bag had been released EARLY..gee for all those liberal lawmakers who say that our jails are overcrowded and people convicted of drug offenses should be released early, maybe these scum bags should move in with their families and see what happens
Hey, That's Islam!™
Muriithi and the beheader (I need to remember his name. sigh) both went to the Mosque of Greater Oklahoma City
Seems like that place needs to be shut down, after putting tracking devices on the people who attend there...
Oh it won’t get shut down because the DOJ and FBI will say this has nothing to do with Islam, ya know, the typical liberal BS..liberalism caused 9/11 to occur, people being accused of being Anti Muslim because we want to profile these vermin..I wonder why this guy was released from prison early..let me guess, he’s a Muslim therefore he has “Rights” unfortunately Colleen Hufford didnt get that same right, the right to LIVE
That’s why I am taking the family apology with a big ‘black stone-sized’ grain of salt.
That is the surviving victim; Traci Johnson...still no pic to be found of Colleen Hufford.
I stand corrected.
WTF? Your boy had a fairly extensive rap sheet.
Your son is evil. His ‘god’ is even more evil.
Don’t talk to me.
Starting a new sitcom. Plot line Kid comes home with the wrong head in his backpack.
Did he ever apologize to Lt. Betsy Randolph for breaking her finger during a struggle between the two four years ago? She says she now regrets not shooting him at the time...amen.
The family is in serious CYA mode...that's all this is.
There is a Colleen Hufford Memorial Page on Facebook.
That is the VERY FIRST picture of Colleen Hufford I have seen anywhere...thanks for the link!
Absolutely heartbreaking.
IDABEL. Back in 1980, there was a black riot there in which a deputy was murdered from ambush. It is not a nice place in my book.
