29-year old Colt Morgan has been on the run after he allegedly killed his fiancée,  burned her body in a fire place, then buried her in the backyard of their Cypress home in late October.

Authorities say they were always hot on Morgan’s trail, but he managed either get away or move on before they caught up to him on a couple of occasions.

One officer saw him walking down a rural road in Leon County on November 23, but Morgan took him by surprise and attacked. Not knowing the ‘suspicious’ man he stopped was wanted for murder, the officer was not expecting it when Morgan began to fight, head-butted him and bolted. The assault was captured on dashcam video and the manhunt intensified after that.

Authorities later found a makeshift tent, built out of garbage bags and duct tape, where they believed Morgan was hiding, but he had already moved on.

Authorities later learned that Morgan had applied for a job at a Pizza Hut in Leon County.

Morgan evidently remained in the area and was finally captured in Buffalo, on Tuesday.
