SEATTLE (AP) — One of two brothers who were charged with first-degree murder in the presumed killing of a missing Washington state couple was taken into custody Monday in San Diego, authorities said.
Detectives concluded the couple had been killed after they searched the vehicles and the home near the couple's where John Reed recently lived.
Surveillance video linked the Reed brothers to the dumping of the couple's cars over an embankment north of Seattle, authorities said.
Tony Reed has dozens of arrests and twice was under state supervision — from 1989 to 1991 on drug charges, and from 1994 to 2003 for three misdemeanors, one count of attempting to elude police and one count of third-degree assault.
