BILLINGS - A man accused of killing a Kansas doctor who performed abortions did visit Big Sky country because of his ties to the Montana Freemen.

During a 1996 interview by the Topeka Capital-Journal, Scott Roeder's father says his son went to Montana to attend a school put on by the Montana Freemen and also helped teach classes for the group.

FBI officials won't comment on groups affiliated with suspects during an active investigation. Last weekend, authorities say Roeder shot and killed doctor James Tiller at his church in Wichita, Kansas.
