Witchcraft defense in Rehmeyer murder trial
Details of the Blymyer case focus on belief in witchcraft as a motive. Defense asserts mental illness and hexing influenced Blymyer to kill Nelson D. Rehmeyer, while prosecutors seek to downplay witchcraft and emphasize robbery as motive. Testimony describes Blymyer’s juvenile mental state, delusions, and alleged use of a book called The Long Lost Friend.
Witness recalls details of Rehmeyer murder testily
Chief of Police Michael Schwint testified he was present when Blymyer Curry and Hess admitted going to Rehmeyer’s house the night of the murder. He said no hexing or mention of the Long Lost Friend book occurred in his presence and that witnesses laughed at times as exhibits from the murder room were shown.
