Authorities capture slaying suspect who escaped custody while being transported in Montana

THOMPSON FALLS, Mont. (AP) — Authorities in western Montana have captured a Michigan slaying suspect who escaped custody by removing his handcuffs and shackles at a gas station while being transported to face charges. The Sanders County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook that Chadwick Shane Mobley was arrested at about 6:10 p.m. Monday in the small town of Plains, a day after he escaped there. Michigan’s attorney general said last week that Mobley would be charged with murder and other offenses in the 2011 killing of Andrea Eilber. She was shot in the head at her relative’s home in Lapeer, Michigan. Authorities say Mobley had fled from Utah to Montana after being questioned by investigators. He was initially arrested June 28 in Libby, Montana.
