'Worst Nightmare in History': Son of Northbrook Couple in Murder-Suicide Claimed Years of Abuse
Officials are investigating Aaron Wulf's accusations that his parents and a Glenbrook North HS teacher abused him.
A Northbrook man accused of killing his parents in a murder-suicide in Las Vegas last week claimed he was abused by them as well as a high school teacher.
Aaron Wulf, 36, made the allegations in a 500-page "manifesto" that he sent to police and the media June 1 before killing his parents — Art Wulf, 69, and Jan Morgan-Wulf, 66 — and then committing suicide at the family's summer home in suburban Las Vegas.

"I’ve waited 35 full years to be able to tell [my story]," Aaron Wulf wrote in the document. "It’s going to unveil the worst nightmare in history — and a level of hell, torture, violence, and abuse so extreme, it will cause trauma to anyone who reads it."
Wulf claims he was sexually abused by a Glenbrook North High School teacher numerous times on school grounds. He also claims he faced constant bullying as a student, and one student continually threatened to rape him during his years at the school.

Wulf also alleged that he suffered physical abuse from his parents, and the document includes photos that claim to show multiple bruises on his body from 1991 that were allegedly caused by the couple.
"See, you've wanted me dead since I was a child, right? Why else would two parents violently torture and physically abuse their precious, adorable little boy hundreds and hundreds of times unless they wanted him dead?" Wulf wrote, adding that he suffered permanent injuries from "horrific beatings" given to him as a teenager.
Wulf said Northbrook police were called to their home multiple times in the 1990s, but no charges were filed.
Officials from the Village of Northbrook, the police department and Glenbrook High Schools District 225 are investigating the claims in Wulf's manifesto, the Chicago Tribune reports. School district officials told the Tribune that the teacher Wulf alleged molested him had resigned but gave no other details.
Art Wulf was a semi-retired lawyer who served on the District 225 board in the late 1990s. Jan Morgan-Wulf was a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker in Northbrook and had been a speech pathologist for Chicago Public Schools.
Aaron Wulf has a listed as an actor on the Internet Movie Database, citing small roles from 2004 on the TV series "Monk" and "Girlfriends." Las Vegas police say he had a history of mental illness but no criminal record, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
