Drugs -- Roger Paul Johansen, 41, address unknown. Medford police arrested Johansen on Saturday on charges of possession, delivery and manufacture of amphetamine, and manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school.

It has been noted by law-enforcement agencies that people addicted to Methamphetamine "meth," will do anything for more meth. The following piece on meth addiction is from http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/04/29/eveningnews/main692101.shtml click the link if you care to see the video:

"Faces Of Meth Addiction

Portraits Of Aging Meth Addicts Make A Bleak Gallery Of Self-Destruction

(CBS) They are portraits of self-destruction.

A death march under a microscope. A jailhouse gallery of lives laid waste by meth addiction.

Forty-two year old Teresa Baxter, after 2 1/2 years on meth, now can't stand the sight of herself.

"I don't look in the mirror," Baxter told CBS News Correspondent Bob McNamara. "I don't want to see. I don't want to see."

Portland Deputy Bret King collects the pictures of meth addicts.

"[Meth addiction] just really destroys them," King said. "[It] deteriorates their body."

While booking suspects into the county jail, King spotted a grisly trend in how mug shots of many repeatedly arrested meth users changed over time. When looking at earlier pictures of future addicts, "there's life in their face," King said.

"There's life in their eyes. Then you switch to the second picture and that life is gone," King said. "Look at their eyes. Their soul seems to have left their body."

From cold tablets, alcohol, lithium in batteries and the deadly ammonia often stolen from farm fertilizer supplies, meth is a chemical jambalaya that can be cooked quickly and cheaply into rocks with more kick than cocaine.

"This stuff is powerful, makes people do crazy things," Baxter said. "People do outrageous things on this stuff."

Today Oregon treats more meth addicts per capita than any other state. But photographs of ravaged faces give only a hint to the damage meth does to the mind.

"This particular damage [shows]... he has trouble learning and he really doesn't feel very good when he's not on [meth]," said UCLA researcher Dr. Edith London, who found meth's toxic chemicals eat away an addict's brain tissue.

They almost look like they've been given either a life sentence or a death sentence.

"I think the death sentence," said King. "The latter of the two is probably most accurate."

Teresa Baxter wants to be a living lesson to anyone thinking of trying meth.

"I do hate the drug and I wish I had never used it, but I did use it," Baxter said, crying. "I have used it and I can't be away from it. It's hard. It's really hard for me."

Bret King will take his Faces of Meth to Portland area schools.

"I'm letting them hear it straight from the horse's mouth, and if that is not testimony to what this drug will do to you, it will — there's no question — it will happen to you."

The Faces of Meth — it is a reality show that's all too real. And nobody wins.

Methamphetamine (meth) is a highly addictive, powerful stimulant that activates certain systems in the brain. It is closely related chemically to amphetamine, but the central nervous system effects of methamphetamine are greater. Both drugs have some limited therapeutic medical uses, primarily in the treatment of obesity.

In the short term, meth causes mind and mood changes such as anxiety, euphoria, and depression. Long-term effects can include chronic fatigue, paranoid or delusional thinking, and permanent psychological damage. It can also cause aggression and violent or psychotic behavior.

Methamphetamine also affects your body. Creating a false sense of energy, this drug pushes the body faster and further than it's meant to go. It increases the heart rate, blood pressure, and risk of stroke. An overdose of meth can result in heart failure. Long-term physical effects such as liver, kidney, and lung damage may also kill you.

The use of methamphetamine creates a buildup of dopamine, which results in a feeling of euphoria. Because meth stays in the brain longer than other stimulants like cocaine, the effects of its addiction last longer. This is one reason it is believed that meth is more addictive than cocaine or heroin. Meth’s addiction is associated with serious health problems such as memory loss, aggression, potential brain damage and contributes to increased transmission of hepatitis and HIV/AIDS.

There are a number of reasons that a person may develop an addiction to meth. For a student or athlete it may start because of the initial heightened physical and mental performance. A blue collar worker, for instance, may use it to stay up and work extra shifts. Young women often become addicted in order to lose weight. Methamphetamines are becoming a staple drug at raves or in the bars and clubs.

Methamphetamine can kill you, your friends, and your family. For more information on meth treatment or any drug rehab treatment, please call: 1.888.484.1053 or visit our treatment section."

On a cold, wet winter afternoon in the burned-out remains of what was Roger Johansen's print shop and home, Frank Johansen describes how he thinks his brother died in a violent attack earlier this month.

Assailants crashed into the Table Rock Road shop where Roger Johansen, 50, lived and worked, Frank Johansen claimed Friday. They beat Roger, stabbed him and handcuffed him before setting a fire that prompted an explosion Dec. 11, he said.

"It was a gruesome murder," said Frank Johansen, who saw his brother's burned and mangled body and is discussing details of the death, against the advice of police, in an attempt to spur people who know about the slaying to talk to detectives.

Investigators confirmed that Roger Johansen died of the combined effects of trauma that included stab wounds and a purposely set fire, and that handcuffs were found at the scene.

However, they declined to discuss further the forensic evidence gathered at the shop or other aspects of the investigation.

"This could jeopardize our investigation," Detective Sgt. Colin Fagan said. "The full force of our major crime team is on this murder. They need to be patient."

Frank and another brother, Glenn Johansen, said they think police are doing the best they can, but fear investigators have hit a dead end. They don't want the case to go cold as people move on with their lives.

"If we wait longer, the impact won't be there," Glenn Johansen said of the decision to talk about the killing now.

They said Roger, who had convictions for methamphetamine possession and delivery up through 2002, recently had sold meth supplied by neighbors who transported and dealt meth along Interstate 5 for cartels with roots in Mexico. Federal court records show that Alejandro Zavala-Luna, now in jail awaiting trial on distribution of methamphetamine charges, rented a neighboring unit at 6608 Table Rock Road and was arrested there in February.

A recent supply of meth had been of poor quality and Roger had refused to pay his suppliers the full amount they asked for, Frank Johansen said. They had come to collect the money owed — about $150, according to Frank Johansen — and been involved in an altercation at the Table Rock shop in the week before Roger was found dead.

Frank Johansen said he had visited his brother Dec. 8 and noticed that his beloved drum set was damaged and that he seemed worried.

The Johansens said their brother seemed to push people away in the days before he died and some friends reported that he had said he was afraid the meth suppliers would return and make good on threats they had made earlier.

"We want to make the community aware of the violent murder and that there are people right here that are capable of this violence," Frank Johansen said. "We're just part of the family trying to clean up the mess."

More than a week after the violent death of Roger Johansen, investigators are asking people who might have information about the killing to provide anonymous tips through Southern Oregon Crime Stoppers.

Investigators suspect that people who might know about the circumstances leading up to Johansen's death at a Table Rock Road print shop are reticent either because they fear retribution from whoever killed him and set his shop ablaze or because they have checkered pasts themselves and don't want to risk landing in jail for previous infractions.

The Crime Stoppers tip line enables people to contribute information to homicide detectives, who aren't concerned about old warrants or drug charges, authorities said.

Investigators said they are tracking leads in the complicated case, which has tangled ties into a community of drug users and dealers.

Johansen, 50, had a history of meth-related crimes, which had landed him in jail in the past, but he had no convictions since 2002, Jackson County Circuit Court records show. Firefighters discovered his body Dec. 10 in the charred ruins of the shop where he lived and worked at 6608 Table Rock Road, Central Point. An autopsy determined that his death was a homicide.

"He was the victim here," said his older brother, Frank Johansen of Talent. "He trusted people he shouldn't have."

Frank Johansen said that as his brother approached 50 he had settled down, started thinking about his health, and focused on work and music.

Frank, Roger and younger brother Glenn grew up in Minneapolis, then all landed in the Rogue Valley after their parents retired in Medford. A sister, Karen, lives in Reno.

Their father was a printer and taught his sons his trade. Frank and Roger had a print shop together in Encinitas, Calif., before coming to Medford in the mid-1980s and opening an Instaprint franchise in White City, Frank Johansen said.

Frank Johansen went on to work in computer networks and Roger kept up the family business tradition, printing in his parents' garage and a string of low-rent shops under the business name Budget X-Press.

His brothers said he was always willing to offer a hand to anyone who needed a job. He would set them to work cutting paper, stapling pamphlets or stuffing envelopes and make sure they got a paycheck, a meal and a place to stay.

His generosity extended to anything in need, said his longtime girlfriend, Alice Kelley, who had separated from him in the past year, but still visited daily.

When she was keeping his shop while he served a jail sentence, a stray cat started hanging around. She ignored the long-haired tabby, but as soon as Johansen returned, he started feeding the cat, which he dubbed Kitty. Before long, Johansen was giving the shaggy creature regular baths, finished off with a blow dryer, so the cat could sleep in his bed.

Much of Roger Johansen's printing business came from James Lloyd, a Jacksonville writer who heads Christian Media Network, a ministry focused on prophecy and the end times.

Lloyd said he appreciated Johansen's upbeat can-do attitude, sense of humor and honest and responsible work.

Lloyd said he knew his printer moved in a subculture of drugs, as well as a generally bad neighborhood, but he loved to visit the shop and meet the people Johansen was helping out with a job.

"It was almost like a ministry," he said. "Those are tough streets, but he was a conduit for good."

Glenn Johansen said his brother was smart, energetic and charismatic. He was an avid reader of history and loved to talk about the strategies and politics of World War II and debate late into the night.

He also had a passion for music, playing drums in bands and jam sessions with Frank, a guitarist. His shop, tucked out of the way, was a gathering place where musicians could play as loud and as long as they liked, Frank Johansen said.

"It wasn't a drug scene," Frank Johansen said. "It was a music gathering place and a workplace."

However, other units in the string of garage-like shops were linked to the meth trade.

Medford police tracked a suspected dealer named Alejandro Zavala-Luna to one of the neighboring units and worked with the Drug Enforcement Administration to arrest him and his supplier in White City on federal charges of distribution of methamphetamine in February. Zavala-Luna is jailed, awaiting trial, and his supplier, Israel Figueroa-Rosas, has already pleaded guilty.

Kelley said she was surprised to find federal agents surrounding the building when that raid was made. Johansen had kept an eye on things to prevent thefts and vandalism at the shops, but she didn't think he knew about the drug dealing.

A printer found dead in his home and shop on Table Rock Road following a fire died in an act of "homicidal violence," an autopsy Wednesday concluded.

However, investigators are keeping mum on the details of Roger Paul Johansen's death as they work to unravel the mystery of who killed him.

In Wednesday's autopsy, Dr. James Olson, the state district medical examiner, confirmed the identity of Johansen, 50, and determined that his death was a homicide.

Investigators said they couldn't reveal how Johansen was killed, whether he was alive when fire broke out at the metal building where he lived and worked, or how the fire started.

"We are not going to endanger this investigation," Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters said.

He said case agents are tracking numerous leads and variables in hopes of resolving the case soon.

The Jackson County Major Assault and Death Investigation Unit is working on the case. A multiagency fire investigation team was called on to determine the cause of the fire that destroyed the shop and attached living quarters at 6608 Table Rock Road on Monday morning.

A driver passing by reported the fire shortly before 7:20 a.m. Jackson County Fire District No. 3 crews were quelling the blaze when they discovered Johansen's body.

Investigators determined that Johansen's gray 1997 Plymouth van was missing from the driveway. Its burned-out hulk was located Tuesday on the West Fork of Foots Creek Road after a caller reported seeing a suspicious vehicle in the area, officials said. The van was seized as evidence.

Johansen had an extensive criminal record, with convictions for assault, burglary and numerous meth-related drug crimes, as well as many civil complaints, Jackson County Circuit Court records show.

"Roger enjoyed the chaos," said John Granacki, who said he caroused with Johansen for nearly a decade and a half after first meeting him in the mid-1980s.

Granacki left that behind and moved to Grants Pass in 2002 after serving a year and a half in prison on a marijuana-delivery charge. He hadn't seen Johansen for several years, but recalls his rowdy friend fondly.

Johansen called himself "degenerate," and wore the description as "sort of a twisted badge of honor," Granacki said.

He said Johansen moved often — because he couldn't pay rent, because he liked cranking the stereo and drumming along to Led Zeppelin more than neighbors and landlords did, or because he feared someone was out to get him.

"Methamphetamine can make one paranoid, and that's what I always thought was going on, but it can also get one in trouble with seriously hard-core creditors, and I guess he must have had that problem too," Granacki wrote in an e-mail to the Mail Tribune. "Just because he was paranoid didn't mean they weren't actually out to get him."

Although speculation is rife in Johansen's circle of associates and some are wary about approaching authorities because of their own criminal background, investigators are confident someone has information about this week's homicide.

They ask anyone with information to call the Jackson County Sheriff's Department at 774-6800 or to report details anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 800-3-DETECT (800-333-8328).
