John B. Reed, the suspect in the murders of Monique Patenaude and Patrick Shunn of Oso, has been captured in Mexico and is now in an Arizona jail.
Reed has been on the run from Snohomish County authorities since April 11, the date of the suspected murders.
Tony Reed, John’s brother, surrendered to U.S. authorities May 16, while in Mexico and has subsequently pled guilty to two counts of rendering criminal assistance for his part in helping John dispose of Patenaude’s and Shunn’s bodies.
According to the U.S. Marshal’s Office, deputy marshals have been working investigative leads with Mexican authorities from Policia ESTATAL Investigadora in Sonora, Mexico to determine the location of Reed.
He was discovered July 22 and expelled to the United States by Mexican authorities for violation of immigration laws of Mexico.
He was taken into custody at the border by U.S. officials and booked into the Pima County Jail in Arizona.
It is unknown at this time when Reed might be extradited to Washington state.
