Witnesses say Ohio man demanded Jeep before he stabbed couple at a Nebraska interstate rest area

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Witnesses say they heard an Ohio man demand the keys to a Jeep that was being towed behind a Missouri couple’s RV before he brutally stabbed them both and killed the man at an Interstate 80 rest area. Twenty-two-year-old James Thompson Jr. was formally charged with first-degree murder and 10 other felonies Thursday, a day after the attack in eastern Nebraska. The Hall County public defender representing Thompson declined to comment on the case. Part of the attack was captured on a trucker’s dash cam, but some of it happened out of sight, inside the couple’s RV. Seventy-two-year-old Gary Weaver died. His 71-year-old wife was stable Thursday in the hospital.
