Manhunt ends with discovery of Tommy Bryson body in Arden
The Hendersonville Lightning details a five day manhunt for Phillip Michael Stroupe II, once released from prison in 2015, as authorities chased a silver SUV linked to a Mills River burglary and Bryson’s murder. Warrant reviews show horse-trading with Stroupe’s father and relatives, helicopter searches, and BE ON THE LOOKOUT alerts as 37 agencies joined the effort. The case culminated with Bryson's body found in a cornfield in Arden after Stroupe was captured following a final escape attempt.
