Who killed Chandra Johnson’s parents?
The Muskogee police believe it is a murder-suicide case, and their primary suspect is Jimmie Johnson’s mother-in-law, Terry Janway. As per the reports, they believe Chandra Johnson’s mother killed her husband and grandson at their home in Muskogee and then shot herself. The police explained this to People Magazine. The case is still under investigation, and the cause of death is unknown.
Jack Janway was a chiropractor in Muskogee; he had his own business. One of his clients was the town’s mayor Marlon Coleman who stated that it was traumatizing to find out that the Janway family, who contributed to the community, were involved in this incident.
He said, “It was even more bone-chilling to find out there was a child involved. Dr. Janway has worked on me, we’ve been acquaintances for a very, very long time since I’ve been in Muskogee. Just knowing that it was him and his family took a different toll on me.”
Jimmie Johnson, who has been racing part-time for his Legacy Motor Club team in the NASCAR Cup Series, will not compete in the upcoming race. Jimmie and Chandra Johnson have asked for privacy, and according to the team, no further statements will be made. NASCAR also released a statement about the death of his family members.
