The Bridge // 047

On July 30, 2008, 38-year-old unemployed Army veteran Scott J. Johnson sexually assaulted a 24-year-old woman off a remote bike path in the woods of East Kingsford, MI. Along the Menominee River, teetering the Michigan/Wisconsin border, Johnson aggressively forced himself upon his unwilling victim, but the sexual assault committed that afternoon was only the precursor for one man’s murderous reign of terror. Scott Johnson changed the lives of several families in an instant - when he appeared from the wooded forest as if out of nowhere, dressed in full camouflage army fatigues while brandishing a semi-automatic rifle at a group of teenagers swimming by an old, abandoned train bridge.
