World
A man accused of killing four relatives at a Thanksgiving holiday dinner was captured at
a motel in the Florida Keys where police said he had eluded authorities for about a
month by checking in under a fake name and address, and hiding his car with a cover.
Paul Merhige, 35, pictured, was arrested without a struggle Saturday night after the TV
show America’s Most Wanted aired and provided the tip that led to Merhige’s capture.
