In 1981, Johnson stabbed and killed Alan Bono, claiming that he was possessed by said demon when he committed the murder. This was the first time in the American court system when a defendant claimed "demonic possession." The Warrens spent time with Johnson and his family and claimed rationale in the "demonic possession" theory.
