Priest said he voiced concerns about Erickson to a bishop : AP
A co-worker of a priest who was found by a judge to have likely killed two people to cover up his sexual misconduct said [Rev. John Anderson] had voiced concern about the priest's social habits to the Superior diocese bishop.
A judge last week ruled that the Rev. Ryan Erickson almost certainly shot to death funeral home director Dan O'Connell, 39, and employee James Ellison, 22 in 2002. St. Croix County District Attorney Eric Johnson said evidence suggests the O'Connell had found out that the priest was sexually abusing someone, was providing alcohol to minors, or both.
The ruling came Oct. 3 after a so-called John Doe hearing requested by the victim's families.
I need to add that these proceedings are rather unusual. Erickson is deceased, and apparently he is not represented by attorney from his estate.
