My Nine News ItemWho Killed Adam Richard Johnson
A frozen head was found on a park bench in Minneapolis with the word “PERV” carved in it. Who killed Adam Johnson and left the city this disturbing message?
On June 17, 2021, body parts were found strewn around a neighborhood in Northeast Minneapolis. Trash bags containing various parts of a man’s body were found by local residents. More disturbingly, a leg was found, cut into pieces, seemingly on display, outside of the Ukrainian American Community Center on Main St NE. It was like something out of Criminal Minds or Bones, deliberate and evocative.
Five days later, however, an even more gruesome sight was discovered. Between 6:15am and 6:45am on the morning of June 22, a head was placed on a park bench on a paved trail on the bank of the Mississippi River, off of Franklin Ave & West River Road. A man walked past the bench at 6:15a and saw nothing there, but by 6:45a, a jogger found the head and promptly alerted authorities.
Police confirmed to Johnson’s family not only that it was his, but that “PERV” was carved into his forehead (presumably short for “pervert”). The head had also been frozen postmortem, and was beginning to thaw when discovered. While Minnesota gets dangerously cold in the winter, the low on June 21 was only 59°F (15°C), so it was frozen offsite before being placed on the bench.
A little over a month later, in late July, more of his body parts were found in the Mississippi River. This marked the fourth separate location his body parts were found in. As far as I could tell online, some of his body parts are still missing.
Adam Johnson was a loving and dedicated parent… when he was sober. He struggled with substance use and addiction, as well as mental illness. He attempted to check himself into a hospital for suicidal thoughts just days before his death (I couldn’t find any reason as to why he was denied, but I’d guess it had to do with hospital overcrowding). He didn’t have a permanent job or address. His child’s mother and a few other former partners have gone on record to speak in his favor. He had no known enemies, according to family and friends. Adam was sober when he was found- his toxicology reports were negative for any illicit drugs.
By October, the FBI stepped in to assist the Minneapolis Police Department in seeking justice for Adam and his loved ones. But that’s where the story ends.
All we know for certain, per the news, is that Adam was sober but struggled to maintain sobriety, had two children, had serious mental health issues, and his body was found scattered across the city.
There are rumors of gang involvement and cartels, but they're just rumors. Adam's ex-girlfriend JoJo is adamant that this is not related to drugs or drug debts, though. Another rumor is that a group of people witnessed the murder, and they are afraid of retaliation if they inform law enforcement.
There is a former journalist on Twitter who has been attempting to keep up with this case- I'm unsure if I'm allowed to cite her Twitter as she is a regular, unrelated citizen, but if I am allowed, I'll edit and link to her. According to her, Adam’s mother was not informed of her son’s death by Minneapolis Police. She learned of it on the news. At one point in May, the detective assigned to the case in the homicide division told her that he doesn’t have the time to deal with the case (despite the fact that the case he cited in his claim of being too busy wasn’t a homicide but a non-fatal accidental shooting). MPD has repeatedly told the family that they're too busy to help solve the murder, and it's up to the FBI. Law enforcement is claiming that there is no risk to the public, but they haven’t said why they think that. I am assuming because this seems to be so specifically targeted, combined with the fact that it’s been over a year since Adam’s death, that they have determined that. The fact is, though, that there is someone capable of this horrific act walking free in Minneapolis.
If you have any information about the murder and dismemberment of Adam Johnson in June of 2021, please submit a tip to the FBI or contact the Minneapolis Police Department at 612-673-3000. His loved ones are desperate for answers. They have also hired a private investigator.
