Danville Murder Capture
Two arrested in capital murder case

Simon.

This morning -- this man -- carson peters -- is waking up behind bars.

U-s marshals captured peters last night-- in connection to a triple murder in morgan county.

He had been on the run since sunday!

Peters is accused of killing teresa peters... james miller... and tammy smith.

Teresa peters is carson peters' wife.

Tammy smith is teresa's sister.

And james miller is tammy smith's boyfriend.

A fourth victim -- identified as mary kenny-- is recovering at huntsville hospital.

We learned kenny is who called 9-1-1 after the shooting.

Rodneya ross is live outside the morgan county jail where peters and his female companion are being held.

Rodneya -- how exactly did the search for carson peters and april hanner end?

After nearly 48 hours on the run -- carson peters turned himself in at to u.s marshalls at riverwalk marina in decatur -- less than 15 miles away from where he's accused of killing his wife and two others.

April hanner -- the woman officials are calling peter's significant other -- was taken into custody over 100 miles away in piedmont.

Carson peters is facing three capital murder charges.

April hanner is facing a charge of hindering prosecution in the first degree.

But investigators are still working to determine the extent of her involvement in the crime.

We did some digging into peter's past and learned he filed for divorce from teresa peters in january.

Just last week -- teresa filed a petition for contempt of court against carson for taking items from their home.

We also learned from court documents that carson was previously married.

According to those documents, his ex-wife filed for divorce in 20-14 and accused him of physically assaulting her which lead to peters being charged with domestic violence.

I checked court records this morning to see if either peters or hanner has a court date set yet but was not able to find one.
