LEVITTOWN, Pa. — The man accused of killing his father and displaying his
decapitated head in a macabre YouTube video has long been obsessed with
conspiracy theories, say those who knew him.
Justin Mohn, 32, was arrested on charges of first-degree murder and other
counts after his father, Michael Mohn, was found beheaded in their family
home in Middletown Township’s Levittown section Tuesday evening, court
records show.
In a video that was removed by YouTube hours after it was posted Tuesday,
the younger Mohn described his father as a federal employee of 20 years
and referred to him as a traitor to his country. He also called for the
death of all federal officials while allegedly displaying his father’s
head.
“We’re all just in shock right now,” John Prickett, 68, who lives down the
block from the Mohn residence, said Wednesday.
Michael Prickett, Prickett’s son, was childhood friends with Mohn and
remembered him as a “great kid” whom he played hockey with around the
neighborhood. He said Mohn was a quiet honor roll student but changed
after high school.
“We were pretty close growing up as kids, but once he went to college, he
went off the rails,” Michael Prickett, who lives in Trevose, Pennsylvania,
said Wednesday.
“He’s been ranting and railing about the government for 10 years now and
how they’re out to get him and how he should be president — all the crazy
stuff that was said on the video last night,” Michael Prickett said over
the phone. “He’s been essentially doing that for 10 years now.”
Davis Rebhan lived with Mohn in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2016, two
years after Mohn graduated from Pennsylvania State University, according
to a court filing. Rebhan wasn’t close with Mohn, who he said had a
reputation for telling tall tales — “like how he got into this big fight
with six guys and won.” He also said Mohn “would talk a lot about his
beliefs, which were pretty out there.”
“It was a lot of the conspiracy stuff,” said Rebhan, who was a college
senior at the time. “He didn’t really have a lot of friends.”
Rebhan, who now lives near Portland, Oregon, said the living arrangement
was cordial until one day several months into their lease, when he
returned home after a few hours to find Mohn had “caused a significant
amount of damage” to their place.
“He broke a big, old mirror that was in our kitchen that had been put up
by the apartment, and there were holes in the walls,” Rebhan said. “He
basically told me he blacked out and had an incident.”
Mohn never had any friends over at their apartment, Rebhan said. In fact,
the only visitor he ever welcomed was his dad one time.
Strange writings
Rebhan had other bizarre interactions with Mohn, including one time when
Mohn gave him a copy of a book he had written.
“It’s about him, but it’s not his name” in the book, Rebhan said. “He is a
high schooler who turns into a rap star who leads a revolution against the
United States government.”
The book was one of seven self-published books that Mohn had on his Amazon
storefront; the books were removed from the platform after news of the
alleged murder broke. The writings had dystopian themes and referred to
the “second American revolution.” One book, titled “The Revolution
Leader’s Survival Guide,” includes the transcript of a letter to then-
President Donald Trump warning of “a peaceful revolution helped by the
author if positive change does not come to America and the world soon.”
Another book, titled “The Second Messiah: King of Earth,” was “loosely
based” on his life, Mohn wrote. It refers to a “four-year stay in
Colorado” that “caused multiple lawsuits.”
Mohn also uploaded four original albums to Spotify, where he had five
monthly listeners, according to the platform. He used social media to
promote his music, which included apocalyptic themes.
Neighbors stunned
The Mohns’ Levittown neighborhood was quiet Wednesday. A resident, Keanya
Horton, 46, said she kept her kids home from school because of the police
activity overnight. She said that when she saw Mohn’s picture on the news,
she immediately recognized him as a man she frequently saw pacing outside.
“The son was kind of crazy. He’d just walk up and down the street, smoking
something or sitting on the curb,” she said. “He wasn’t on the phone; he
would just be smoking and walking.”
Michael Prickett said Mohn’s father had been a “ very, very good man” who
was deeply involved in Mohn’s life growing up.
“I always remember he and his father having a good relationship,” he said.
“He was very supportive of him.”
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District said it was "deeply
saddened to learn of the tragic death of our teammate Michael Mohn," who
served with the geoenvironmental section.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mohn family and we are focused on
supporting our grieving employees at this time," the district said in a
statement.
Prickett said he was stunned when he saw Tuesday night’s YouTube video
before it was taken down.
“I watched the whole video with my mouth wide open. I came to tears over
it,” he said. “The kid I remember as a kid was not the kid I saw in the
video last night.”
