Multiple Murder Suspect Sean Lannon Arrested In St. Louis
WOODBURY, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) - The manhunt for a multiple murder suspect in South Jersey ended in St. Louis.
Sean Lannon was being sought in connection with a killing Monday in Gloucester County, N.J. They have not released any details about what happened or who was killed.
Investigators say the 47-year-old is also a person of interest in a quadruple homicide in New Mexico. The victims included his ex-wife and three men whose bodies were found last Friday in a vehicle at the Albuquerque International Sunport garage, police said.
Authorities didn't immediately release details of his arrest in St. Louis. They had posted a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and said he was considered armed and dangerous.
Lannon was charged with burglary and possession of a weapon after allegedly forcing entry into a home Monday in Elk Township, New Jersey, the prosecutor's office said.
Albuquerque police said three of the people were reported missing since January from Grants, about 80 miles west of the city.
Authorities have said that the bodies of Jennifer Lannon, 39, Matthew Miller, 21, Jesten Mata, 40, and Randal Apostalon, 60, were found inside a car parked on the top level of the garage on Friday. The condition of the bodies and cause of death were not immediately clear.
"There's a lot of aspects to this. We're still finding out information as we're going forward with this investigation. There are some things we can not release at this time," Grants police Lt. David Chavez said.
