Minnesota gubernatorial candidate suspends his campaign after his daughter is found fatally stabbed
Police allege Jeff Johnson's son-in-law is responsible for his 22-year-old daughter's killing.



Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson announced Monday that he was suspending his campaign after his daughter was found fatally stabbed.


Hallie Marie Tobler, 22, was found dead with multiple stab wounds over the weekend in her apartment in St. Cloud, Minnesota, roughly 65 miles northwest of Minneapolis, according to the St. Cloud Police Department.

Her husband, Dylan Tobler, 23, was found inside the apartment with self-inflicted stab wounds. He was charged Tuesday with one count of second-degree murder in connection with his wife's killing.

He was stable in a hospital and in police custody. Police said he will be transferred to a nearby jail upon his release from the hospital. It is not immediately clear whether Dylan Tobler had been from the hospital Tuesday morning. His attorney did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

especially not in such a horrible fashion. Admittedly, I don't know anything about this particular candidate. Just wanted to get that in before the ghouls descend.

Sounds like the son in law attempted a sort of murder-suicide.
