Man held over family's Thanksgiving killings

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, was arrested without a struggle after the TV show America's Most Wanted provided the tip that led to Merhige's capture on Long Key, said Jupiter Police Sgt Scott Pascarella. "I'm elated that the monster is in the cage," said Jim Sitton, the father of six-year-old victim Makayla Sitton.

Merhige had been the subject of a massive manhunt with his image with a $100,000 dollar (61,000) reward for information leading to his arrest. He is accused of shooting his twin sisters, a 79-year-old aunt and his six-year-old cousin at a family gathering in Jupiter, Florida.
