Bradley Yohn is an American criminal sentenced to 130 years in prison after being convicted in July 2023 of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 77-year-old woman, Christine "Tina" Schmitt Lohmann, leading to her death.[1][2][3] Yohn was apprehended on charges of home invasion, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated vehicular hijacking, residential burglary and aggravated criminal sexual assault, after the discovery of the body of a Virden man, Derek J. Banker Barnett, in the turnk of a "suspicious" vehicle.[4][5]
An accomplice, Karen Blackledge, was sentenced to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to her part in the offense.[3] Yohn, who represented himself,[6] called both Blackledge and his father, Bradley Yohn Sr., then serving a 180-day sentence on a methamphetamine charge, as witnesses.[7]
Yohn's choice to represent himself led to numerous issues, including arguing that a 911 call was not made, then introducing evidence of the call.[8][6]
