Dear Tom:

Published on 04/07/2000.

A tense, three-day crime spree that spanned two states ended peacefully late Thursday, when police captured two fugitives from Tennessee. About an hour earlier, the suspects freed a terminally ill Wythe County man and his wife, who had been taken hostage in their home for nine hours.
Lt. Curtis Bailey with the Virginia State Police said the freed couple, Ricky and Toni Sexton, were not injured.

Tom: Best part about the story, Ricky Sexton who has Lou Gehrigs disease was told he could go. He refused ! He told them if he left he couldn't tell them about Jesus. When they did give up they left him all the money they had. $138.00. Mike Honaker, our assistant pastor, and state police chaplin, talked them out of the house after a 2 hour conversation. Pray for the two fugitives 27 and 20 year old , they tried to overdose on valium and are in intensive care........what a happy ending, God is good..........
