The mother of Alton Alexander Nolen—the Oklahoma processing plant employee accused of stabbing two of his co-workers and beheading one—has released a statement through her Facebook page in which she expresses her dismay at her son's terrifying behavior. "On behalf of my son, Alton Nolen, my heart is so heavy right now," Joyce Nolen says on video. "I know my son. He was raised up in a loving home. I know what they are saying that he done. But I'm going to tell you this, that's not my son."

The man who is accused of beheading a coworker in a Moore, Oklahoma Vaughn Foods processing plant has regained consciousness and was interviewed by detectives on Friday.
