Death by own action note found in killer's abandoned car
A repentant note was found in an abandoned auto of gunman Alfred Wilson after a shooting spree in Trumbull County Ohio. Wilson killed three people including two sisters in law and kidnapped 16 year old Nancy Worthington whose body was later found near Windham Portage County. A note to his wife Juanita said he was sorry and hinted at another world. Authorities scoured the Windham area with bloodhounds and an airplane as they searched for Wilson and the fate of his life remains unclear. Emmett Denison, a Warren man shot in the incident, is held as a material witness.
