A man suspected of a double homicide eluded police for two months, until a PlayStation 3 stolen from the victims' home turned up and led authorities to an arrest.
In Gaffney, S.C., Giles Lee Palmer, 22, faces two counts of murder in connection with the Jan. 19 shooting deaths of Dominique Cintrell Morgan, 19, and William O'Brian Smith, 22. Gaffney cops found the console in question not at a pawn shop, but in a Spartanburg County, S.C. home.
That suggests to me that its ID was flagged in case it ever connected to the PlayStation Network. The Spartanburg, S.C. Herald Journal reported only that "police were able to track it back to Palmer."
Two other suspects are believed to be involved in the killings.
