The Story Told by Brittany’s Mom
On Saturday October 9, 1993 was the last day with Brittany. We had breakfast, worked around the house and yard, went shopping and Darin have to go to a football game. When Britt and I got home Chuck was around in and out. Britt and I ate then she got ready for bed. This was the last time I hugged and kissed her as she went to sleep in her new big girl bed. Heather came by to keep me company while Darin was gone. Darin got home late and we talked to Steve and Chuck for a few minutes and went to bed. We had plans for Sunday and Brittany was going to grandmas. On Sunday October 10,1993 Brittany came in our room about 7:30ish. She was still sleepy and we told her to go back to bed. She never came back to our room. We went back to sleep. Then just before the alarm was due to go off at 9:00am we heard a loud noise. Darin got up first, and then I got up. We could not find Brittany…………..Then within an hour we are told she is dead. We spent the next 2-˝ years waiting for justice to be served. We always had someone at court for every little hearing. Then finally the day came and we started the trial, he was found guilty of 1st degree murder, and then sentenced 25 to life. This had such a great impact on all our family and friends and to this day still dose. We knew this day would come but not this soon. Chuck Johnson needs to be in prison for the rest of his life.
