Fugitive Couple Arrested in Missouri Is Now Suspected of Triple Homicide
A married couple arrested Thursday at a Days Inn Hotel in Missouri after a week-long violent crime spree that ran the gamut from armed robbery to murder, is now under investigation for a triple homicide.
Brady Kane Witcher, 41, and Brittany McMillan, 28, were arrested in Hazelwood, Missouri on arrest warrants out of Alabama for the kidnap and murder of Kellie Ann Hughes, 31, whose body was found Dec. 13 in the woods near Birmingham, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Police found Hughes after a woman called 911 to say that she had been kidnapped and was being held against her will in an apartment complex in Birmingham. Police were able to track her cellphone to the apartment where the woman was found at the bottom of a stairway she had fallen down, bound with zip ties. The woman told officers she had been kidnapped because she knew about Hughes’ murder. She later led them to the body.
