This must have been terrifying for her! Thank God she made it out of this safely!

I think she was a hero because she kept her cool and talked him into turning himself in. Can you just imagine having someone force you at gunpoint to drive hundreds of miles away? I will be interested to see what the background story is concerning this murderer. It will not surprise me in the least if he has a long criminal record. There has been no update on the condition of Mrs. Oyster, the woman run down at the casino RV park. Prayers for everyone involved in this tragedy.

"Authorities said Oen Evan Nicholson, 30, is believed to have killed his father, Charles Simms Nicholson, whose body was found in a trailer in the RV campground of The Mill Casino in North Bend, as well as Anthony Oyster and Jennifer Davidson.

Nicholson allegedly ran over Oyster, 74, and his wife Linda, 73, using his father's pickup truck in the same RV campground where his father was found. Oyster died of his injuries, while Linda was critically-injured. He then allegedly shot Davidson at a nearby marijuana dispensary.

Police have not released details on how Nicholson's father was killed.

Nicholson then reportedly drove over 2,000 miles from the coastal city in Oregon to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to turn himself in, Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said Sunday morning."

Woman kidnapped at gunpoint by triple murder suspect convinces him to surrender to cops | Daily Mail Online

"A woman who was kidnapped at gunpoint by a triple murder suspect who forced her to drive him 2,000 miles from Oregon to Wisconsin was able to convince the suspect to turn himself in to authorities during the 33-hour long drive, her family say.

Oen Evan Nicholson, 30, approached Laura Johnson, 34, as she was sitting in her car texting her boyfriend outside of a Springfield, Oregon, store where she worked on Friday and held her at gunpoint to force her to drive him north to Wisconsin, police said.

Hours earlier Nicholson allegedly murdered his father at a campground before mowing down a couple in his truck - killing one of them - and then fatally shooting a woman at a marijuana dispensary.

Nicholson is now being held in Wisconsin on fugitive warrants from Oregon. He was charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of his father, Oyster and Davidson as well as second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault and failing to help a person injured in a traffic accident, Frasier said.

No motive for the killings has been given."

Hot off the press (in today's news). Here are a few snippets from Laura's story of her kidnapping. Full/very long story at link.

Nicholson had stabbed his 83-year-old father 18 times with a hunting knife

A delusional Nicholson told Johnson that he had killed undercover federal agents and a woman in North Bend. He said the federal government was out to harm him and that tracking devices lurked in his teeth.
================================================================
“Are these your kids?” Nicholson asked, scanning the image on her phone’s screensaver.

“Yes,” she said.

“You’ll see your kids again,” he said. “Just keep driving.”

Nicholson tossed Johnson’s phone out the window, leaving her boyfriend’s texts unanswered.
================================================================
A Coos County judge last week found Nicholson guilty except for insanity for killing his father, Charles Nicholson; Anthony, 74, and Linda Oyster, 73; and Jennifer Davison, 47.

Johnson, 38, attended the hearing, sitting in the second row of the public gallery.

She listened as the judge described Nicholson’s schizophrenia and paranoid delusions and committed him to the state’s psychiatric hospital.

Thankfully the kidnapped woman was safe.

‘You’ll see your kids again,’ Oregon killer on the run told her. ‘Just keep driving’

So began a Eugene woman’s 2,500-mile journey alongside the stranger who kidnapped her.
