NAPLES — A 37-year-old man charged in an October fatal stabbing in Naples told detectives he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from his service in the U.S. Army.

John Orr is charged with second-degree murder in the Oct. 2 death of Jon Wayne Joseph, 63, in the city’s Lake Park neighborhood.

Orr told Naples police, in an interview after the killing, the stress disorder is the result of a sexual assault from his time as an Army soldier in Central America in the 1990s, according to new case documents released this week by the State Attorney’s Office.

Orr’s close friend, Aimee Wolfe, portrayed him as a “walking time bomb” suffering from extreme anxiety. Orr’s father, Joseph Orr, 72, told police his son recently completed a rehabilitation program for the stress disorder, as he had many times before.
