A Marine deserter, accused of murdering his mother’s boyfriend, was captured in Virginia on Wednesday following a tense multi-state search, officials say.
Authorities did not immediately reveal how long Brown had been at that house or who might have been there when he first arrived.
"We were able to make contact with Mr. Brown this morning and take him into custody without any injury." The suspect's mother told investigators that she witnessed the Maine kill Rodney Wilfred Brown at the Hardy home, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court.
