Sarah Marie Johnson, age 16, murdered her mother, Diane, and her father Alan Johnson.

Sarah was in love with a 19 illegal immigrant from Mexico. Her parents forbid her to ever see him again. And told her she must break up with him and never see him again.

But Sara wasn’t having it. Teenage love.

Sara believed it was her life and if she wanted to see him, she would. She didn’t care that he was older and not in the country legally.

Like most sixteen-year-olds, Sarah didn’t care what her parents thought of her boyfriend. She would do what she wanted. And she wanted him. Her parents were in the way of her fairytale romance. So she decided to dispose of her parents and live happily ever after with her prince charming, Bruno.

They were not going to stop her. With her parents gone, they could be together. Only it didn’t work out that way.

The Perfect Family

Diana and Alan Johnson lived in Bellevue, Idaho, Blaine County, USA. They were well off and lived in a big house in the nicest part of town.
