HONOLULU, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- Court records indicate a former Hawaii National Guardsman involved in an apparent murder-suicide was wrestling with post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Clayborne Conley appeared to develop psychiatric problems after his return from a 2005 deployment to Iraq, including nightmares, alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts, court documents examined by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser showed.
The newspaper said Sunday that Conley had apparently not had any such issues prior to serving in Iraq. He was discharged from the military three years ago. UPI
