(KDKA) WASHINGTON COUNTY
Triple Murder Suspect Arrested Along Ontario-Quebec Border

The Canada-wide manhunt for a suspect in three murders in southern Ontario ended in Portage-du-Fort.
An Ontario Provincial Police officer arrested 22-year-old Jesse Imeson last night without incident in a densely wooded area near the Ontario-Quebec border.
Police say the suspect was found by a homeowner inside a home in Portage-du-Fort, who called police.
Detective-Inspector Dave Cardwell tells CFRA News Imeson was armed at the time of his arrest. Police allegedly found two rifles on the suspect, but no shots were fired.
Imeson is in custody in Quebec. He will appear in a Quebec court in the morning and will then be transported to London for further questioning by Ontario Provincial Police and Windsor Police.
The manhunt moved to the Ottawa-Valley Monday night after a silver GMC Sierra pick-up truck belonging to William and Helene Regier was located in a densely wooded area near Renfrew.
Ontario Provincial Police won’t say how long the truck was there, or if police found anything inside.
Ontario Provincial Police and Quebec Provincial Police spent Tuesday searching along the Ontario-Quebec border.
A Canada-wide warrant on two counts of first-degree murder was issued for Imeson last week following the killings of the Regier’s in Mount Carmel, north of London.
Imeson also faces a charge of first degree murder in connection with the death of Windsor bartender Carlos Rivera.
