PHILADELPHIA - A Pennsylvania teenager accused of killing his girlfriend's parents after a dispute over the girl's curfew was captured in Indiana yesterday, police said.
David Ludwig, 18, was arrested in Belleville, Indiana, after crashing his car into a tree during a high-speed police chase. He was taken into custodywith almost no struggle and did not appear to be carrying a gun, Indiana State Police said.
Neither he nor his girlfriend Kara Beth Borden, who was riding in the car with him, was injured.
"He has cooperated" with investigators but no other information was being released, Sgt. David Burstin of the state police said. He said the girl had not been questioned, but "she suffered no physical harm" and no information was available on whether she had been abducted or went with Ludwig voluntarily.
Ludwig had fled from Lititz, Pennsylvania, on Sunday with the girl after he allegedly shot dead Borden's parents - Michael and Cathryn Lee Borden - both 50.
Ludwig and Kara Beth Borden stayed out all night Saturday and were confronted by her father early Sunday. After a long argument, Ludwig is said to have shot both parents with a single bullet to the head, and then fled with Borden.
Two siblings survived the attack and raised the alarm, police said.
