CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. -- A skateboarder with a history of run-ins with police in this northwestern Wisconsin town left home about a month ago to roam around California - where he was questioned regarding the killings of two camp counselors. Nicholas Edward Scarseth, 21, contacted authorities in Sonoma County on Tuesday after learning from a radio that he was sought as a "potential witness" in the killings, Sonoma County Sheriff's Lt. Dave Edmonds said. Edmonds said investigators wanted to determine what Scarseth knows about the case, adding that "he has not been charged. This is consensual contact. We're not holding him."
