A journal kept by a Tulsa man accused of killing his wife earlier this week chillingly foreshadowed the events that police say were to come. John Robert Kastner was arrested this morning after a first-degree murder charge was filed against him. He's accused of killing his wife, Lori, then telling investigators an intruder had done it. In his journal found in the home by detectives, a June 22nd passage read, "... Wow. Intense pressure. She was right. I do put things off hoping that problems will cure themselves. Unfortunately, time has not slowed, stopped or gone backward. There is no next week..."

Authorities say Kastner lied to everyone involved during the investigation.

"John Robert Kastner lied to us from the moment we responded to his home," said Tulsa Police Chief Ron Palmer. "He lied to the dispatcher, he lied to his friends, lied to his family. And, for that no one should be responsible but him."

And, it was also lies that investigators say led to Lori Kastner's killing. According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by NewsChannel 8, Kastner was deep in credit card debt and had lied to his family, friends and co-workers about millions of dollars he was to inherit from an invention his father had created for printing presses.

"In my estimation, at best, Kastner and what he told police and what he did to his family is a fraud. He is a fraud," Palmer said. "There were fraudulent statements made from the get-go in this investigation. Which were proved by good detective work to be just that. Lies. At worst, and the courts will prove this, John Robert Kastner is a cold-blooded murderer, killing his wife, then blaming others for that crime."

Palmer also said Kastner was responsible for creating a concern among the citizens of Tulsa for their safety when in fact it was himself that committed the crime.

Kastner remains in the Tulsa County Jail where he is being held without bond.
