Suspects in Death of Sugar Land Girl Apprehended

Police have apprehended the suspected muderers of Sugar Land's Ashton Glover: they were caught at the Canadian border late yesterday. The two teenagers were questioned earlier in the week (but had since disappeared). They were apprehended around 7 pm yesterday, about the time that forensics experts concluded a thorough search of the homes of both suspects, coming away with physicla evidence including probably weapons. Family members say that the two, Matthew McCombs and Sean H. Brown, both knew Glover, who was not living at home after some family troubles. One of the young men called Glover's mother over the weekend, claiming to have seen Ashton the night she disappeared but to have dropped her off at a coffeeshop around 2:45 a.m.

"Mama's gut's screamin', and mama's gut was right", said Carolyn Sue Smith, who called police and told them she thought the boys were lying. Glover's body was found fully clothed and half-buried in a field. Preliinary forensics indicate she died of blunt force trauma: one of the pieces of evidence against the two accused murderers is a shirt with a bloodstain on it, found at one of their residences and currently being tested for DNA.

The two suspects spent last night in Port Huron, Michigan, where they were apprehended, but will be transported back to Texas today. A press conference will be held this afternoon.
