Boy 11 escapes sex killer after five mile desert dash
In Tucson the 11-year-old son of a missing man fled a kidnapper as a 12-year-old friend pleaded for life before being killed. The boy ran five miles to safety, leading police to suspect William Castaneda, released from prison last December, who faces first degree murder, kidnapping, and sex assault charges. The victims were abducted near a chess tournament downtown. The dead boy, Michael Perry, was found in Tortolita Mountains as Castaneda was arrested nearby after patrols tracked his pickup. Officials said the state would seek the death penalty.
