A massive nationwide manhunt is underway as authorities search for the suspected killer of one person in New Jersey who is also linked to four bodies discovered “inside a vehicle parked in a New Mexico airport garage.”
Reward offered in manhunt
UPDATE: Missouri Police arrested Sean Lannon in St. Louis on Wednesday.
According to the U.S. Marshals Service, there’s a $5,000 bill on the table for information leading to the arrest of 47-year-old Sean Lannon. If you spot him, don’t get too close. “Do not approach Lannon,” police warn.
He’s considered “armed and dangerous.” As part of the manhunt, police are also looking for his ride. “Lannon may be driving a 2018 blue Honda CRV with New Jersey license plates U71-JXG.” Lannon is described as “5’9″ tall, 140-165 lbs., blue eyes and, bald.”
He was last spotted “near the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden, New Jersey, on Monday at about 3 p.m.” but now he could be anywhere. The manhunt is also underway in Grants, New Mexico.
“There’s a lot of aspects to this,” Grants police Lt. David Chavez relates. “We’re still finding out information as we’re going forward with this investigation. There are some things we can not release at this time.”
The manhunt started when Gloucester County investigators tried to pick Lannon up for questioning “about a slaying Monday in East Greenwich, New Jersey.”
They aren’t saying who was killed or how but he got linked to the crime after he was “charged with burglary and possession of a weapon after allegedly forcing entry into a home Monday in Elk Township, New Jersey.” Apparently they let him go then matched some evidence. By the time they went looking for him, he was on the move.
Talk to his ex-wife
Things got a lot more interesting to detectives and prompted the immediate posting of a price on his head around social media. They’re hoping a cash fueled manhunt will produce quick results.
Once Lannon was linked to a body, the cops started digging into his background since they didn’t have him in custody to ask. They learned of an ex-wife in Grants, New Mexico. She was a little hard to get on the phone.
That’s when Albuquerque police got dragged into the manhunt. They found the bodies of “his ex-wife and three men” last week “in a vehicle at the Albuquerque International Airport garage.”
Once they started connecting the dots, Albuquerque police figured out that “three of the people were reported missing since January from Grants, about 80 miles west of the city.”
Details released by police confirm that the bodies belonged to Jennifer Lannon, 39, Matthew Miller, 21, Jesten Mata, 40, and Randal Apostalon, 60.
They were all “found inside a car parked on the top level of the garage on Friday.” As reported, “the condition of the bodies and cause of death were not immediately clear.” Updates on the ongoing manhunt will be provided as they become available.
