Here’s a bit more on Scott Roeder, the suspect in the George Tiller murder. Wichita, Kansas-based KAKE reached Roeder’s ex-wife by phone.
According to the woman, who asked that her name not be used, the two have been divorced since 1996, and have a 22-year-old son together. The woman said that one reason for the couple’s split was what she called Roeder’s radical views. It was in 1996 that Roeder was charged for having bomb-making materials in his car.
“He was very vocal about his feelings of abortion,” she said. “He has been like this for several years. He was a part of different militia things..anti-government, anti-abortion, obviously, and just a lot of anti-stuff.”
She also said their son has minimal contact with his father. “He doesn’t share any of his Dad’s views… religiously or politically and…neither do I,” she said.
