ALBUQUERQUE — Two escaped convicts from Arizona and a woman who accompanied them kidnapped an Oklahoma couple and gunned them down so they could steal their camping trailer, prosecutors said Monday as they released details about the group’s crime spree.
John McCluskey told an FBI agent after being captured last week that he killed Gary Haas in New Mexico with a single shot near the temple, then fired three times to kill Linda Haas, according to a criminal complaint.
When the fugitives noticed blood was dripping from the trailer, they doused it with liquor to set it ablaze before heading to Wyoming.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth Gon zales said McCluskey, Tracy Province and Casslyn Welch could face the death penalty.
