Executive Summary: A couple in northwestern Pennsylvania were surprised when their barking dog led them to an escaped homicide suspect who was hiding on their property.
Situation:
- Cindy and Ron Ecklund of Conewango Township had noticed their dog was barking on a Saturday afternoon and hopped in their golf cart to see what all the fuss was about
- When they got to the rear of their property, they encountered a man who claimed to be camping.
Problem
- When they got to the rear of their property, they encountered a man who claimed to be camping.
- Ron Ecklund said he soon recognized Michael Burham from news coverage of his escape from Warren County jail - authorities said Burham escaped by climbing on exercise equipment, going through a window, and scaling down a rope fashioned from jail bedding in the late evening hours of July 6th.
- What Was he in prison for, you ask? Burham was being held on arson and burglary charges and was a suspect in a homicide investigation. He was also associated with the carjacking and kidnapping of a local couple.
Action
- Ron Ecklund told his wife Cindy to get back in the golf cart so they could return to their house.
- On the way, he told Cindy to call 911.
Result
- Searchers and two dogs tracked Burham through the woods and eventually encountered two troopers who were part of monitoring the perimeter set up by police.
- Though he tried to hide, Burham was approached from behind by federal marshals, border patrol, and state police - who arrested him at gunpoint.
