Police say they may have found the body of Benjamin Colton Barnes, an Iraq veteran sought in the fatal shooting of a Mount Rainier National park ranger, who apparently died while trying to evade SWAT teams in a remote wilderness area.

wife should have kept her mouth shut and not talked to the media. i’d bet money she helped push him over the edge.
>>wife should have kept her mouth shut and not talked to the media. i’d bet money she helped push him over the edge.
So the wife is somehow responsible for deaths of the park ranger...mighty twisted logic you got there.
The wife didn’t talk to the media. The media pulled public court documents and are quoting her statements from them.
More to the story than simply discharged military man gies crazy:
‘In November 2011, a guardian ad litem recommended parenting and communication classes for both parents and recommending Barnes be allowed to continue supervised visits with the child, two days a week.’
If both parents received this order, that tells me she was just as much at fault for their marriage problems.
I don’t trust that the wife was innocent in this. She could have stopped pushing the custody problem and worked on the marriage rather than trying to destroy it. She also brought the police into family problems and escalated rather than backing down. The domestic violence laws and custody laws also have a hand in this.
How do you know she’s not talking to media? She’s talking to police, and we’re getting only her side of the story and the police are putting out their controlled information - the psycho picture. There was a domestic violence problem occurring as well as a custody problem. The wife is not innocent in this as seen by the court order for both to attend counseling. I place a lot of blame on the domestic violence laws, the custody laws, and the public records laws. The police shouldn’t be putting out photos trying to vilify the guy. His marriage records should not be made public.
I think this young man felt he was being driven into a corner where he thought he was going to lose big time and never recover from it, and he snapped.
Because I can read. The article specifically states “in an affadavit” indicating the source of the wife’s statements is public court documents, not the wife in person.
Court records are public unless you request them to be sealed for specific reasons that outweigh the general public right to know. I don’t want to live in a country with secret court proceedings.
I feel sorry for the young man, but his tatoos suggest a great deal of his problems were of his own making.
