Going back to that incident, officials have said David Edward Johnson (33) targeted the couple (Herlens) after being arrested for custody of marijuana and steroids. He mistakenly believed that the couple had turned him. He broke into their house and shot them to death, then killed himself. He shot himself in the head at his Swan Drive home following the shootings of the couple. But according to investigators, the couple who were once friends with Johnson had nothing to do with his arrest.,
Volusia County sheriff’s investigator Johnson said, “To the best of our knowledge, for a 5-year-old, she’s doing pretty well. We’re nervous about long-term effects on the little woman, naturally. At 5 years old, the meaning of dying generally would not actually sink in; however, we’re concerned for her future welfare.“
The surf-loving couple apparently feared the suspect and tried to get a court-ordered injunction to keep him away from their household. However, Circuit Judge Richard Graham denied the request because there was insufficient evidence to support the stalking charge. After this incident, he further said, “No violence was alleged, and it was hard to prove stalking with the allegations” presented, according to court papers. Looking back on it, I would have liked to have done it differently. But you review each case on a case-by-case basis.”
