PROVO -- There's new information about a person of interest in the murder of a former BYU professor.
The Deseret News is citing court documents that portray Kay Mortensen's son, Roger, as a man with a violent past. Last week, Roger and his wife, Pamela Mortensen, were named persons of interest in his father's death.
The Deseret News reports that on July 13, 1996, Roger Mortensen passed a car full of Boy Scouts in American Fork Canyon on a four-wheeler. For some reason, he pulled out a handgun and "pointed the gun at the driver's head." He was sentenced to probation for that incident.
In 1997, Roger allegedly helped a roommate steal dozens of tools from an Orem hardware store where he worked. And in 1999, he and his wife at the time filed protective orders against one other.
