Police Arrest Suspect in 4 Va. Killings

(AP)  A 20-year-old man suspected of killing four people in central Virginia was arrested at an airport Saturday, where he apparently tried to catch a flight to California, authorities said.

The man, Richard Alden Samuel McCorsky III, was arrested by Richmond International Airport police officers who found him asleep in the baggage claim area, said airport spokesman Troy Bell. A police official confirmed the arrest but did not give other details.

Police in Farmville, where investigators found four bodies Friday afternoon in a home near the Longwood University campus, had sent flyers to authorities elsewhere to help identify McCorsky.

State police were assisting in the investigation in Farmville, about 50 miles west of Richmond.

McCorsky showed identification when officers approached him, did not resist and did not have any weapons with him, Bell said. He was being held at the airport until Farmville police came for him, and has been charged with murder, robbery and grand larceny.

The identities of the victims and the cause of death were not immediately available.

CarolHill814 you are clearly someone who understands profiling and has a sound sense of Scientific principles. Praise them.

I would like to add to your notions, clearly the Third Time is NOT a charm. I have noticed, in my research, that anyone named WhatteVVer III is a gonna go bad. They should just stick to "Trey" or "Chip II".

Thank you for your time.

These twenty something are out right dangerous they sound like a bunch of people it is almost scarey.

They seem to enjoy killing because everytime I hear someone was killed it was a twenty something person and that is a fact.

That's because it looks so easy to do on TV.

Felicia Teng's murderer was not a twenty-something, serial killer Ted Bundy was not, and if the bones in the yard of Corrido turn out to be human, he was not, nor was the 21st century's most prolific mass-murderer to date, George Bush.
