Authorities in Oklahoma and across the nation are desperately searching for 7-year-old Aja Daniell Johnson after charging the man believed to have kidnapped her with the first-degree murder of her mother, Tonya Hobbs.
Lester Hobbs, Aja's stepfather, is believed to have killed Tonya Hobbs either Saturday evening or sometime Sunday...
Lester Hobbs, 46, has a long criminal history, according to the Comanche County Sheriff's Office, including several felony convictions. Aja Johnson's grandmother, Alice Dunkin, told The Oklahoman that Hobbs could be especially violent if drinking.
"He hated that little girl," she said. "I'm afraid he's already killed her." In August, Tonya Hobbs, who had become estranged from her husband, filed a court petition for a restraining order because Lester Hobbs had threatened to "hit my daughters in the head with a hammer and kill them."
Hobbs also had a 13-year-old daughter with Tonya Hobbs. That daughter was staying with relatives when Hobbs and Aja Johnson went missing. The restraining order was granted but dismissed after two weeks when neither of the Hobbs' showed up for court. But Lester Hobbs, according to Alice Dunkin, had a history of domestic abuse and had had several restraining orders issued against him.
