In 2011 Ahern Credited Keith Johnson with the idea.

I found two Johnson papers online :
http://neon.mems.cmu.edu/mchenry/mchenry2/Publications/Mod._Phys._Let._3_1367-1.pdf
(1989)
http://neon.mems.cmu.edu/mchenry/mchenry2/Publications/Dynamic%20Jahn-Teller-1.pdf
(1991, Invited paper)
These both reference Johnson's 1983 and 1984 papers.
Ahern definitely seems to have priority in the LENR area.
