Sonoma County, California, authorities have located the young Wisconsin man they were looking to question in connection with the mysterious shooting deaths of two camp counselors in Jenner.
Twenty-one-year-old Nicholas Scarseth contacted authorities after he found out through media reports that they were looking for him.
Sonoma County Sheriff's Department Lieutenant Dave Edmonds says Scarseth remains a — quote — "person of interest" in the case.
Scarseth has not been charged and authorities are not saying exactly what tip led them to question the young man from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
Investigators say Scarseth was in the area about the time 23-year-old Lindsay Cutshall and 26-year-old Jason Allen were shot while they slept on a beach near Jenner.
Scarseth had been stopped on Friday by police in Fort Bragg — about 100 miles north of Jenner, where Cutshall and Allen were found shot through the head last week in their sleeping bags.

Scarseth was last seen at a Fort Bragg coffee shop Monday and is believed to have left the area.
Scarseth's mother, Karen, said her son has a drinking problem but is not violent.
"He's just roaming around," she said. "If he ran into those people (who were killed), he would have befriended them."
However, she also said her son harbors anger toward religious people.
"He brings up religion and politics to irritate people. He likes to stir people up," she said.

Scarseth's mother said she heard from her son last week, when he phoned from California to say he had gotten a hotel room through a voucher from a "church woman."

Sounds like a liberal mindset. I hate you religious people, but please help me out with room and board. I hope they have caught or will soon catch the evil Son of a gun that did this.

Oh brother...

Oh, no. I'm pretty sure I know some of this kid's relatives.
That son sounds like a homeless guy to me. "He has a drinking problem," "he harbors anger towards religious people," "tries to start fights," "got a voucher for a motel room from some religious person/ a group/ a church?" hmmmm.
That was what I suspected all along. Scary stuff out there. Christians have been demonized by liberals for some time now.
