KU student's murder suspect found dead
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - July 5, 2008 Lawrence police say 46-year-old Adolfo Garcia-Nunez was arrested
in Elizabeth, N.J., on Friday night, after police found his
unoccupied pickup in that same town. Authorities say that while he
was in custody in New Jersey, Garcia-Nunez took his own life.
The Lawrence Police Department said no additional information
about his death or arrest would be available until its
investigators return from New Jersey.
Garcia-Nunez was suspected of killing 25-year-old Jana Mackey,
of Hays.
She was found dead Thursday at his Lawrence home, and a
second-degree murder warrant had been issued for his arrest.
