WARSAW, Va. (AP) — A man charged with killing his parents and three others in Louisiana before fleeing to Virginia had made the drive north to try to hug and kiss two aunts and a grandmother goodbye, the man's court-appointed attorney in Virginia said Friday.
"He basically wanted to say 'I love you, I'm sorry,'" attorney Steve Barnette said. "He knows he's probably never going to see the outside of a jail again."
Barnette had represented Dakota Theriot during a brief court hearing at which he declined to fight extradition back to Louisiana. Authorities in Virginia said they expected Theriot to return to Louisiana by plane that day.
