A judge found probable cause that Erickson killed both O’Connell and Ellison before he committed suicide.Father Ryan Erickson Erickson begins his will and testament by saying, “All of us are a mixture of angel and devil.” Erickson says in the document, “How do I prove I didn’t kill Dan O’Connell? I can with clear conscious say I did not kill Dan or James.” Investigators are most interested in his next quote. Erickson says, “None of my guns matched, no DNA of mine was found… no one saw me leaving the funeral parlor.” Erickson also alludes to allegations he sexually abused minors. Erickson writes, “I am extremely tired and disappointed with myself, and of the evils I have too often performed.” He continues, “Why was I so lustful? Why was I wired that way?” Police say the will was re-written after Erickson’s interview with investigators.
