Attorney: Missing girl’s visit with mother, suspected abductor violated custody order

Girl’s visit with accused abductor violated order

OKLAHOMA CITY — An attorney says the father of a 7-year-old Oklahoma girl believed to have been abducted by her slain mother’s estranged husband violated a court order by letting the child go on an unsupervised visit.

Aja (AY’-zhah) Johnson has been missing since her 35-year-old mother was found slain Sunday. Police believe she was taken by 46-year-old Lester Hobbs after his estranged wife brought the girl for a visit Saturday.

Hobbs has been charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping.

A December court order prohibited the mother from being alone with the girl and said the child couldn’t be near Lester Hobbs, an ex-convict.

But a lawyer for the girl’s father says his client let the mother take Aja to a birthday party Friday.

She then visited Lester Hobbs with the girl on Saturday.
