East Texas manhunt ends as suspect is captured
A massive search across Newton and Jasper counties led to the capture of Stevenson, suspected of killing Mirian McElroy and three Pearson sisters. Police tracked him via a Port Arthur police dog to a wooded area near Call, where he was arrested unharmed aside from brush scratches. The spree began with a shooting, a mobile home fire, and a stolen truck, followed by further break ins and a return to the Pearsons’ home before the suspect fled on foot. The FBI and Texas authorities joined a multiagency dragnet as residents faced a dramatic, multi-day manhunt.
