Nancy M. Johnson and her kids, ages 2 and 5, were found dead in Semmes. Her actions led to speculation she was setting up her husband.
A 37-year-old Semmes mother with a history of psychiatric issues drowned her two young children before hanging herself on Thursday, Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch said during a Friday press conference.Nancy M. Johnson and her two children -- 2-year-old Jacob Johnson and 5-year-old Mia Johnson -- were found dead inside their Evergreen Court home in Semmes.
“We have learned there were clearly some psychiatric issues with the mother,” Burch said. “We’re learning more about that as the hours go by. There are court documents which make reference to her mental condition.” Burch said it’s possible the divorce and subsequent custody battle played a role in Nancy Johnson’s mental state, but emphasized the husband is not a suspect in the deaths of his wife or children. It was the father who found the bodies Thursday, just a day after he had arrived back in Semmes from Utah.
Nancy Johnson had been the first to file for divorce, doing so in June, but by June 26, the petition was dismissed, with both Johnsons notifying the court they were reconciled and agreed to undergo marriage counseling. “Somebody in the system dropped the ball,” Burch said “Clearly, that should have happened. I’m more concerned with the timing of when it should have happened.”
