The ex-wife of a former Idaho Republican state lawmaker who shot and
killed himself this week says he was under investigation for molesting
two girls, including a young female relative who was abused for more
than 10 years.
Brandon Hixon, 36, was found dead in his home in southwestern Idaho
on Tuesday from a single gunshot wound, the Canyon County Coroner’s
office said.
Former colleagues at the Idaho Statehouse have offered kind words
about Hixon, but his ex-wife Danielle Eirvin Hixon said the suicide
robbed her family’s hopes of finding justice and closure through the
legal system.

“Brandon made people believe that he was a stand-up, morally correct
person,” said Hixon, who was married to the former lawmaker for 10 years
until their divorce in 2016. “But behind the house walls, he would
cheat on me and molested children.”
