Officials with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said they’ve added a Jonesborough man to the state’s Top 10 Most Wanted List after three people were found dead.
Daniel Henry Lee, 38, was taken into custody without incident around 8:30 p.m. Saturday at a hotel by members of the U.S. Marshals Task Force, which includes officers from New Orleans police and Louisiana State Police.
WVLT reports that the triple murder suspect is now incarcerated at the Orleans Parish Prison.
Before Henry’s capture, information led Washington County investigators to believe he had left the state, possibly for California. A $1,000 reward is being offered in the search for Henry.
The victims were identified as Henry’s parents Robert Kenneth Henry, 66, Melody Diane Henry, 55, and his aunt Barbara June Hammonds, 64.
The bodies were found at 123 Skyline Road off Tenn.
