Heads Up, Stoner, Marquis

The Associated Press:
JUPITER, Fla. — Investigators in Florida alerted Michigan authorities to be on the lookout Saturday for a man accused of shooting four relatives to death after a Thanksgiving dinner in South Florida.

The suspect, Paul Michael Merhige, 35, sought a physician in the Detroit area in the past year, Jupiter police Sgt. Scott Pascarella said, but he was unsure why he needed the doctor.

Merhige is thought to be driving a royal blue 2007 Toyota Camry with a rear spoiler and Florida license plate. He is accused of killing his pregnant sister and her twin sister as well as his 6-year-old cousin and 79-year-old aunt.

There had been "ongoing resentment" in the family, but investigators weren't sure what specifically prompted the shooting Thursday.

Should be an easy catch - look for the only car fleeing toward Detroit.
