A fugitive murder suspect listed as among
"American`s Most Wanted" is in an East Texas hospital after he
was shot by an Arkansas doctor he allegedly kidnapped.
Authorities say Scott James Eizember had been wanted in the
shooting deaths of an elderly Depew, Oklahoma, couple. He`s listed
in stable condition at the Memorial Health System of East Texas in
Lufkin, where he`s being treated for four gunshot wounds to the
chest.
Oklahoma authorities say Eizember allegedly kidnapped a
physician and his wife in Fort Smith, Arkansas, yesterday afternoon
and forced them to drive to Texas. The doctor, Samuel Peebles,
managed to grab a pistol he`d concealed in his car and shot
Eizember. Authorities say the suspect took the couple`s vehicle and
was later stopped near Corrigan. He was taken to the Lufkin
hospital, where authorities learned he was wanted in Oklahoma.
Eizember`s capture ended an intense manhunt that began on
October 18th. That`s when he`s accused in the shooting deaths of
76-year-old AJ Cantrell and his wife, 70-year-old Patsy Cantrell,
of Depew, Oklahoma.
