An "armed and dangerous" suspect connected to three murders and a slew of other crimes across the country is on the loose in Arkansas, according to authorities.
Stacy Lee Drake, 50, is wanted in connection with three homicides in Oklahoma, stemming from two separate carjackings, according to Arkansas State Police.
"Drake is separately wanted on multiple felony warrants from multiple jurisdictions, with charges including aggravated robbery, carjacking, and murder," investigators said in a statement.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation gave more details Wednesday about two of the homicides that took place in Sequoyah County. Officers discovered a man and woman dead inside a business Tuesday.
The victims' identities were not immediately released.
Although the victims' causes of death are still being determined by the medical examiner, Oklahoma investigators said, "both sustained injuries consistent with homicide."
Drake was last seen on foot outside a motel in Morrilton, Arkansas, roughly 53 miles northwest of Little Rock, according to police. Oklahoma investigators said a car he had allegedly stolen was found in Morrilton, which is roughly 130 miles east of where the bodies were found in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma, on Tuesday night.
Drake, a Birmingham, Alabama, resident, was described as having brown hair and brown eyes, standing about 5 feet, 11 inches tall and and weighing 185 pounds, according to state police.
"Anyone who sees Drake should not approach him and should call 911 immediately," Arkansas State Police said in a statement.
Actual *information* about the perp. Good find! Thanks.
He fits the Middle Name Wayne Profile, but he is a Lee.
I thought they were looking for Hillary.
They should be.
Looks a little old to be a car jacker. Isn’t that usually a younger man’s crime?
>> Isn’t that usually a younger man’s crime?
It’s Arkansas. What more need be said.
The death penalty is not about revenge or retaliation.
It’s about protecting society and innocent people from monsters like this.
ZERO chance for recidivism.
Right - in Arkansas, family traditions run deep.
I’m in Huntsville. Creepy.
Blank stare. There’s nothing behind those eyes, no conscience, no morals, no decency, nothing considered normal.
He better hope police find him before Arkansas feral hog hunters do!😎
He killed the people in Oklahoma. Ran to Arkansas.
Just another reason folks should not relocate to Oklahoma and Arkansas.
We are backward.
And if people read to the end of the article, they’d find out that Drake is from Alabama.
Shall we blanket slur yet another fine southern state?
“Lee,” “Wayne” or “Dean” in a name is a dead giveaway.
If you’ve ever watched any Arkansas State Police high speed chase video’s, he might have a better chance with hog hunters.
There’s a couple youtube channels that feature ASP chases. One trooper in particular seems to be a specialist. Jacob Byrd is frequently in chases. It seems that if you drive a Dodge Charger, you’re destined to run from the police.
These guys hit a certain point in time where they decide the chase is over and perform a Tactical Vehicle Intervention. TVI was designed to be done at lower speeds, but these guys will do them at 120 mph. Amazingly, the perpetrator will roll several times then jump out of the car and run.
Hopefully the suspect will come across Trooper Byrd.
Byrd is the man.
