RALEIGH, N.C. — A man suspected of decapitating his 4-year-old daughter and leaving the body for her mother to find in their suburban home was arrested in Washington, D.C., early Saturday, authorities said.
Investigators have not found any history of domestic or mental health problems at the home, and still have no leads as to a possible motive in the killing, said Clayton police Lt. Jon Gerrell.
Amber Violette told police Friday evening she had found her daughter, Katlin, with her head severed from her body, police said.
An "edged weapon" believe to have been used in the killing was found in the house, though Gerrell declined to give more details.
"This is devastating for the whole community as a whole, and it's the most horrific thing I've seen in 13 years of police work," said Sgt. S.P. Lapsley. "That a father could do this to his child, I just can't believe it."
John Patrick Violette's vehicle was found at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and investigators learned he had taken a flight to Washington. Deputy U.S. marshals arrested the 37-year-old after police tracked his credit card to the hotel, Lapsley said.
Police said Violette, 37, would be held in Washington pending an extradition on a murder charge expected to be filed in Clayton, about 15 miles southeast of Raleigh. The U.S. Marshals Service said an extradition hearing is expected to be held Tuesday.
The mother is not a suspect in the investigation, and Lapsley said police don't expect to make any more arrests.

You are quite the internet philosopher and pschologist, aren't you? I find your self-righteousness to be disgusting. The initial responses that people have to this crime are perfectly understandable. In fact, people who can react in such an unemotional way (such as you and your pal on this thread) are cowards at best, but more likely have pschopath tendencies, which ironically is what you accuse others of being (projection perhaps?)
If you aren't outraged you aren't paying attention (or in your case you are a psychopath) My other gut feeling is that you are a spineless coward too.
I posted this for your buddy, but you may fit in this category too.

Shhh, the juvenile posters in this thread will get their feelings hurt.
In other words, join the club. I'm regularly disgusted in the crime threads where it quickly turns into a 7th grade game of who can imagine the most brutal execution imaginable. Worse, these are so-called conservatives. Pity, none of them respect that constitutional prohibition on cruelty.
Well said. Sadly though, they don't recognize the same sickness in themselves.
Because, we're better than he is. At least I am. Given your posts, you're in question, but I know that I'm not sinking to an inhuman level.
Touche'!
Yes it was...
Tom - nice law school level points you are making. Your profs must be proud...
Tom, It appears that you've met your match with IronJack! IJ, wonderful analysis! I agree with every bit of what you said. Even your final conclusion (something the freakishly clinical Tom doesn't seem to understand).
It's really a matter of where to draw the line. European countries have the same beliefs that you expressed; and they don't have executions.
My feeling is you are boring as hell,ItisaReligionofPeace. Reading your posts is like scraping paint. Even your handle is laboriously long.
Can you snap it up a bit ,sport?
Why doesn't it surprise me that someone like you would place form over substance. I've noted many instances where intellectually inferior people choose to focus on form rather than substance. It's one place they think they can score points.
Well...I think the words I chose, horrific and depraved, adequately express my horror at his act. Now if you wish to engage in some gruesome brutish and depraved revenge fantasy with all the blood, gore, chemicals, and animals you can muster up then so be it.
I'll pass thanks.
His trial and execution is sufficient for me.
You are too funny. All I can say is that there is certainly a need for effemite eggheads such as yourself in our society, but we also need they type of men who engage in Ultimate Fighting Championships, i.e. fighting men (USMC comes to mind). Part of the reason for the decline in our society has to do with the imbalance of your type of "man" that has grown over the past 50 years.
Having an unemotional response to such a horrific act is sick.
I'll strive to become a higher being like you. Maybe next life.
This is unbelievable. There is such a 'spirit' of death in this country. Unbelievable. My heart goes out to the mother who found her this way. I hope he rots in hell.
