Oregon man arrested in Virginia for double murder case
February 23rd, 2010 - 3:38 am ICT by BNO NewsPORTLAND, OREGON (BNO NEWS) – An Oregon man was arrested as a suspect of a double murder case, prosecutors said on Monday.
Gabriel Morris, age 33, was wanted in connection with the murder of two people in Bandon, Oregon on February 8, 2010.
Morris was taken into custody without incident by police in Prince William County, Virginia. His wife, Jessica Morris, 33, was also detained on a material witness warrant, and their 4-year old daughter, Kalea, was found and not harmed.
The Morris family had been staying in Virginia for the last few days with a person they met online, but the individual became suspicious after some of the things Morris was telling him and decided to check up on Morris on the Internet. The person discovered Morris was wanted for murder in Oregon and contacted local police in.
After seeing their vehicle in the indicated residence, police sent their special weapons and tactics team, made contact and found all three of the Morris family. No one was injured during the arrest.
The District Attorney and several detectives will be flying out to Virginia to conduct further investigations as needed. If the suspects decide to contest extradition, it could be several weeks or months before they are returned.
