MONTGOMERY COUNTY, OHIO —

The man whose body was found wrapped in plastic Monday afternoon by a Browns Nursery worker was identified as a 47-year-old Clay Twp. man.

Steven T. Johnson died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head, but it’s too early to know how long he’d been dead, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

Johnson reportedly was identified through fingerprints.

Johnson’s body was discovered off Arlington Road on nursery property, Sgt. M.D. Hutchison of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said.

…and in the infamous words of Chief Justice Roberts, “Being on the registry is really no different then getting a Price Club card.”

Intriguing. There is no way this man would have been killed unless he was on the registry! Placing someone’s photo/name and full address online is nuts! How many more people need to be killed. We now live in a different world. Things truly need to change. Yet, we have prostitutes, drunk drivers, drug dealers/users, gang bangers and even murderers who are free to roam the streets and aren’t posted online for all to see? Wake up. It’s getting crazy

The Dayton Daily News (DDN) has been no friend to the registrant and associated stories to them. This township is in their backyard, just west of the Dayton Airport.

Here is what the DDN is posting as a follow up to the original article (which is the same one as the Palm Beach Post here): ‘Persons of interest’ sought after registered sex offender found dead, wrapped in plastic https://www.mydaytondailynews.com/news/local/persons-interest-sought-after-registered-sex-offender-found-dead-wrapped-plastic/92e2PDpkHoerLj7ElU1SpJ/

“His death was a very very violent death,” said Sheriff Phil Plummer. “He frequented the east side of Dayton and he definitely had a drug problem.”

Sheriff’s deputies do not believe Johnson’s status as a registered sex offender had anything to do with his death.

“I’m sure its more related to the drug problem,” Plummer said.

Guess only time will tell on this story.
