The Montrose man accused of killing an Olathe woman allegedly told detectives he believed she was his father after sex-reassignment surgery to avoid being held responsible for “bad things.”

Patience R. Stewart was shot multiple times in the face as she was apparently lying in her bunk in her tiny camper, Olathe police said.

Olathe Police Officer Brian Wright wrote in the arrest affidavit that Joseph Saur, 19, was “clearly under the influence of some kind of drug” when he arrived at the police station late Sunday to report he shot his father in self-defense.

Saur’s actual father, who lives in Montrose, told investigators he’d grown concerned about his son’s alleged methamphetamine use.

Investigators have not determined whether or how Saur and Stewart knew each other.
