At this link, the video shows the brief presser by Sheriff Stone. Lots of good info in the video. They’re heading out in the am to go get him from AZ. He’s being held at a Tucson jail. Was caught alone with significant amount of cash.

They got a tip from someone in AZ, and AZ State Police nabbed him just outside of Tucson.

You nailed it.

I figured he was bunkered down in the Virginia mountains.

It seems like the odds of getting to Mexico from NC would be small, but I guess LK liked his odds. Or didn’t like his other options.

PTL.

Let's bring that criminal back and get on with NC justice for Diana and Bess.

Partial as it's my home state.

 

[whoizzit]

Hmmm. Lessee: US Border Patrol, Homeland Security, US Marshal Service plus errrybody else listed.

LK wasn't going anywhere.

Yet, ol Spook Flattop just tools down the highway in broad daylight!

It's not like he blends in, never mind the APB.

He forgot the #1 rule of running away: The cover of nighttime is your pal.

I'm surprised he made it that far. Dummy.

Also, NEENER.

I may have to drive to NashCo just to heckle him when they get him back to NC.

Does Diana have any family in NC? My heart is breaking thinking about what her poor daughter is going to do now..

bbm
Yep -- it may have been that when she told him, he went into a rage and killed her right there on the spot.
Maybe we will find out how it transpired, maybe not. SMH.

Always a good idea to plan out your exit without letting your spouse know. A life saved

Same. Or pull an Eric Rudolph by hiding in one of NC's national forests.

I'll be curious to see if he did try to disguise himself, too!

 

[Ched]

Can this affect the length of sentance as he ran ?

 

[Boodles]

I hope he pleads guilty. If not, I’ll be attending that trial. Grrr.

I wonder too.
Almost swallowed my tongue earlier over your Casper flat top post. LOL

Scootch over!

 

[Ched]

I feel terrible for the poor daughter , I saw her lovely posts on twitter

 

[Boodles]

Anyone have link for 2pm presser? Is it still on?

 

[whoizzit]

May the mighty wheels of justice flatten his body to match his head.

I'm talking steamrollered. Flat Stanley.

Bless Ali, Bess and all of those who love and miss them, most especially the two children.

Looks like RLK wasn't smart enough or fast enough to outrun a citizen with a phone. Great job to the tipster and LE for catching him.

I've tried to resist this for almost an hour now:

I want to say that I'm so glad that we have a CWAP on this thread and not a father-type person.

I hope the reward money is sent to the citizen asap! Terrific job!
