Scot Marie Hermanson, 32
MN, Apple Valley
Scot Marie's murder has left her 5 Children to grow up without their Mother in their lives
It was Sunday morning when a neighbor heard frantic knocking at her door and found an 11-year-old girl crying for help. She said something was wrong with her mother. When the neighbor went across the hall and looked inside she saw Scot Marie lying on a couch with a bullet wound to the head.
According to the police charges, Hermanson, her boyfriend David J Pederson Jr. and another man had been drinking Saturday night and into Sunday morning. About 8 am Hermanson’s 11 year old daughter was awakened by a gunshot and then heard Pederson say "Oh my God. Oh my God. I didn’t know it was loaded. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry."
According to the other man, Pederson dropped the gun onto the floor, picked up another gun and threatened to shoot himself, ran from the apartment, put the gun in the back of his station wagon and drove away.
Pederson, still at large (8/15/00), has been charged with manslaughter.
UPDATE: “Sleeping in culverts and eating crab apples, David J. Pederson was apparently living off whatever he could find in rural western North Dakota before he was arrested Thursday night, August 31st, in the killing of his Apple Valley girlfriend, a sheriff said.”
