UPDATE: Ex-wife of Black Friday Shooting suspect says he targeted Planned Parenthood

An ex-wife of the man accused of killing three people at a Colorado Planned Parenthood says he targeted the reproductive rights organization before.

Barbara Mescher Michaux told NBC News that Robert Dear put glue in the locks of another Planned Parenthood clinic when they were married more than 20 years ago.

Dear was arrested after the Friday attack. Officials said he gave a rambling statement that included the words “no more baby parts.” But they have not released a motive for the shooting.

Michaux divorced Dear in 1993 and alleged he had a violent temper. She told NBC that she is convinced Dear didn’t start shooting at the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic by coincidence.

She said: “For him to plan this and go there, he meant to go there.”

According to a divorce affidavit, Michaux said Dear abused her physically and emotionally. She said multiple times in their marriage, he threw her around the room by her hair and beat her head to the floor. She also said during one particularly violent episode, he beat her to the point where she couldn’t move her neck for several days and was in severe pain.

She said Dear had difficulty keeping a job. She said there were numerous complaints against him in the work place. She said in the documents he ran up debts with clients and credit card companies and refused to pay. She said Dear did not contribute to the mortgage or help pay any of the bills, except for rare instances where he gave her a few dollars.

According to the documents,Michaux said Dear was obsessed with the world coming to an end.

“He claims to be a Christian and is extremely evangelistic, but does not follow the Bible in his actions,” saidMichaux in the documents. “He says that as long as he believes he can be saved, he can do whatever he pleases.”

Before Friday’s shooting, Dear was also accused in two other cases including an animal abuse case and another that alleged he was a ‘peeping Tom.’
