Gordon Ernest Vogtherr (October 26, 1925 – March 15, 2024) To say Gordon Vogtherr lived his life to the fullest would be an understatement. Full, yes, but.
On May 30, 2018, twenty-seven-year-old Joshua Roy Tucker shot and killed his fifty-nine-year-old father Gordon Ernest Tucker. But, when he brutally murdered the father he was close to, he thought . . .
In the weeks leading up to the killing, Joshua shot holes in the ceiling of his home, believing people who were out to get him were living there. He cut holes in the walls and ceiling looking for surveillance bugs. His mother, Kim Ternier, to convince Joshua no one was in the attic, called the police to investigate and put his mind at ease. It didn’t. When Joshua gave his mom an electrical piece saying he thought it was a bug, she proved to him it wasn’t by taking it to an electrician. She even ordered a device that could detect surveillance bugs. She made arrangements to install motion detectors and a security system to ease Joshua’s fears and paranoia. They were scheduled to be installed the day of Gordon’s death.
