OKLAHOMA CITY - William Schnittman, who dreamed of competing as an Olympic rower and sowed similar dreams in children, sought a victim's protective order early this month against Darrell Kurt Wilson.

The request for an order to keep Wilson away from him was denied by a judge Dec. 4.

On Friday, Wilson shot and killed Schnittman, sexually assaulted a woman, abducted her and let her go, and then led police on a chase before killing himself.

The 32-year-old woman Wilson took hostage was described by police as having been in a relationship with Schnittman.
