A man wanted in a Pennsylvania double homicide and apparent abduction of 14-year-old girl was captured Monday after a car he was driving crashed in Indiana following a police pursuit, State Police said.
State Police 1st Sgt. Dave Bursten said David Ludwig, 18, was apprehended about 12:30 p.m. EST after a car he was driving crashed about 20 miles west of Indianapolis following a pursuit by State Police.
Bursten said Ludwig was found with the missing girl, 14-year-old, Kara Beth Borden, a daughter of the slain couple, and she was unharmed."He's in custody and we have the girl," Bursten said.
Footage from mews helicopters showed a girl sitting in a police cruiser, and a young man wearing a gray T-shirt was handcuffed sitting next to a red Volkswagen Jetta that had run head-on into a large tree on a curve of a rural road.
The man was led by police officers to a waiting State Police car.
Pennsylvania police said Ludwig killed Borden's parents, Michael F. and Cathryn Lee Borden, both 50, early Sunday after they and their daughter argued about her curfew. The shootings took place at the family's home in Warwick Township, about 60 miles west of Philadelphia.
Police said that Kara Beth was believed to be Ludwig's girlfriend.
Hang him.
Outstanding news. Now, kill the perp.
Not until we know if Cara was involved as well.
Execute him!
Little Bill while whipping Ned in "Unforgiven": "I'm gonna hurt you....not gentle like before, but real bad...."....apropos for this little POS before he's executed....

She probably did it and made her boyfriend flee with her.
How sad for this young girl. She will never forgive herself for arguing with her parents, which precipitated this whole rampage. I wonder what she thinks of her boyfriend now?
How sad for her parents who lost their lives trying to protect her. How sad for her siblings who have no parents now.
If anything she was a defiant child who refused to listen to her parents regarding dating this 18 year old.
I am sadly without much sympathy for her right now with the little information we have.
Seems open and shut for the punk, doesn't PA have a death penalty?
If the girl was also involved, life.
How do you know she didn't tell her boyfriend to do it?
She says she's 17 on her website.
Beat him, burn him, hang him. Then, just to be sure, shoot him.
Her bio says she's 17...
One of her friends is online right now, too.
Boy, am I out of touch. The myspace thing is kinda...strange.

I was watching the CNN coverage of this. Apparently the family were "right-wingers" who "home schooled". Presented as some sort of justification, of course...
