  PORTAGE, Mich. (WOOD) — Police say they are leaning toward calling the disappearance of a Portage couple a homicide case and have named the couple’s son a person of interest.
  Portage Department of Public Safety Chief Nicholas Armold released the new information during a news conference Thursday afternoon, saying that while he still hopes Gary and Laura Johnson turn up safe and sound, everything his investigators are finding is “leading us to believe they are not alive.”
  “Although we’re going to remain optimistic that we’re going to find … the Johnsons, we’re leaning more toward this is going to be a homicide,” Armold said. “Hopefully we’re wrong, but that’s where we’re leading. There’s enough evidence now inside the home and with the vehicles.”
  The couple’s son, 27-year-old Nicholas Alexander Johnson, was arrested Tuesday on unrelated charges. At the time, police said they didn’t have any persons of interest in the case. That changed on Thursday.
  “Clearly, anytime there’s a case like this, you’re always looking at family members,” Armold said. “So Nick Johnson was someone we were looking for to talk to about this case.”
  Armold also wouldn’t say how they located Nick Johnson, who was arraigned Wednesday on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and felony firearm. Both are felonies, the first punishable by up to five years in prison and the second by up to two years.
