My Story
My Thoughts
My name is Stephanie Johnson. My daughter was brutally murdered by her ex-husband, who reportedly cried and confessed at the crime scene on Dec. 30, several weeks after she was killed. Police found her body surrounded by scented candles in the house in which she was probably murdered. The case received international attention.
My job now is to share my story and those of countless others to speak up for those muted by their abusers, to remove the shame and stigma they face every day, and the reticence that keeps them silent. I am not an expert on domestic violence. I’m simply telling you my story in the hope it never becomes yours.

She loved red lipstick, heels and had a free spirit. ![]()
She is not really gone and is always around us in spirit. When I see someone wearing red lipstick, it makes me smile and think of her. I know she is there in spirit if I see butterflies around me. She is passing by to say hello and forever in my heart. ![]()
I appreciated her kindness and I’ll never forget it."
