“It would not be surprising to me,” Capt. Jack Kennedy said. “If you look at his criminal history, he was continuously escalating his violent behavior.”

Stacy Lee Drake, sought in four murders in Oklahoma and Alabama, was arrested in Arkansas Thursday, June 20, 2024, after a two-day manhunt.A transient facing murder charges in Alabama and Oklahoma showed a pattern of escalating violence and could be responsible for more killings, authorities said Thursday.Authorities said he is the suspect in three Oklahoma homicides and is charged in the May slaying of another man at a Tuscaloosa AA building last month.

“We do not know if he is responsible for any other homicides but that is being looked into,’’ he said. “There are a few other things that have come to light, and we are working with a few other jurisdictions on that as well.” Kennedy released new information about Andrews’ slaying Thursday and confirmed that the longtime AA volunteer was fatally shot.

Lookout bulletins were issued to law enforcement agencies nationwide, but investigators did not publicly release the suspect’s identity. Deputies about 6:30 p.m. responded to a business near State Highway 64 and South 4670 Road. When they arrived, they found a man and woman dead inside a business.Details of the third homicide in El Reno weren’t immediately available but OSBI said three people were killed during two separate carjackings.

Arkansas State Police said Wednesday night that Drake was last known to have purchased camping gear and all indications are he is still in the Morrilton area.
