UPDATE: The University of Connecticut student wanted in connection with 2 deaths has been captured after nearly a weeklong manhunt, officials say.
Manfredonia, a 23-year-old senior who was not living on campus, was wanted in connection to the deaths in Connecticut of Theodore DeMers, 62, and Nicholas Eisele, 23, and the injury of another victim.
The search for him began after he was seen Friday leaving the area where DeMers was killed in Willington, Connecticut. Another victim was found injured.On Sunday, police said Manfredonia went to another home in Willington and stole firearms and a truck. Later that day, he was at the Derby, Connecticut, home of Eisele, who was found dead.
Manfredonia also allegedly abducted another individual from the Derby home on Sunday, police said. He allegedly drove a stolen car to New Jersey, where he left the abducted person, who was not injured, then took an Uber to Pennsylvania. An attorney, speaking on behalf of Manfredonia's parents, said earlier this week that Manfredonia has struggled with mental health issues in recent years.
