Thomas Reissig was known for settling his scores with knifes. Two weeks prior to John's death Reissig cut John's thumb almost off. John was required to have 15 to 20 stitches to have his thumb reattached.

On 17 December 1993 Thomas Lee Reissig was convicted of 1st degree murder and was sentenced to 60 years in prison. But for John's mother was changed forever when she heard of the heinous violence committed on her son. No family should ever have to endure the pain and agony that she has had to endure. She has said this terrible tragedy feels like a bad dream that will never go away. The news of Reissig's upcoming Parole Review hearing has only added to her emotional suffering.
