The FBI confirmed Fulks' arrest in Middlebury Wednesday morning but released no details.
Investigators believe Fulks, 25, and fellow convict Branden Basham, 21, who was arrested Sunday in Kentucky, kidnapped Alice Donovan from a parking lot in Conway, South Carolina, Thursday. About 40 miles north of Conway, sheriff's deputies, state police and U.S. Marines are searching an 850-square-mile area along U.S. Highway 17 for any sign of the missing woman.
Brunswick County Sheriff Ronald Hewett said Fulks stopped at an Amoco station in Shallotte, North Carolina, at 4:04 p.m. Thursday to refuel Donovan's dark blue BMW sedan and that he and Basham are believed to have driven about 15 miles farther on U.S. 17 before turning around and returning to South Carolina by 6 p.m.
Hewett said he is asking area residents to come forward with any possible sightings of the fugitives or of Donovan's BMW.
The search focuses on a stretch of U.S. Highway 17 between Wilmington, North Carolina, and the South Carolina line. Hewett would not disclose whether investigators have been told they would find Donovan in that area -- but he said, "we certainly are not ruling that out."
