Teen Suspect Arraigned In Pa.
An 18-year-old man accused of killing his girlfriend's parents and fleeing with her to Indiana was flown back to Pennsylvania on Tuesday to face murder and kidnapping charges.
David Ludwig did not fight efforts to return him to Pennsylvania. A Pennsylvania judge ordered him held without bail. He was not represented by a lawyer at the arraignment. A preliminary hearing was set for Nov. 23.
His 14-year-old girlfriend, Kara Beth Borden, was returned home on a separate plane. She was not under arrest.
Indiana police captured Ludwig on Monday after the car he was driving slammed into a tree during a chase. He is suspected of shooting Kara's parents, both 50, in their Lititz home early Sunday after an argument over the teens' relationship.
Warwick Township Chief Richard F. Garipoli Jr. said Kara will be considered a victim in the case — rather than a willing participant — "until I hear otherwise."
Ludwig and Borden were both home-schooled teenagers from Lititz, a small town in Amish country about an hour west of Philadelphia.
Garipoli tells CBS News that the 14-year-old girl who was found in Indiana with an 18-year-old accused of killing her parents and abducting her is "doing OK."
"Kara's upset, she's crying. She's a 14-year-old child and we seem to forget that. She's devastated. So it's important that we do put her back with her family where she belongs," Garipoli said.
Garipoli also told The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen that murder suspect David Ludwig is "being very quiet" and seems to be in a state of shock.
Police say Ludwig killed Borden's parents, Michael F. and Cathryn Lee Borden, early Sunday after an argument about her curfew when she came home late. The shootings happened at the family's home near Lititz, Pa., about 60 miles west of Philadelphia.
He faces preliminary charges in Indiana of criminal recklessness and resisting law enforcement, authorities said. Police in Pennsylvania issued an arrest warrant on charges of criminal homicide and kidnapping.
Few details were known about the pair's trip. Authorities said they don't know the route they traveled, if they had family or friends in Indiana or if they were simply passing through the state.
The Bordens, both 50, were apparently shot once each in the head, authorities said. Mike Borden worked for a printing company, said neighbor Tod Sherman.
Neighbors say Kara Beth and Ludwig were both home schooled, and knew each other through a home school network, CBS News correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports.
"It's totally changed the fabric of our community," says one neighbor of the Borden's murder. "They were wonderful people and they will be very sadly missed."
Kara's 13-year-old sister, Katelyn, told investigators her parents were shot after they argued with Ludwig for about an hour, according to court papers.
Katelyn said she saw Ludwig shoot her father, and then ran into the bathroom, where she heard a second shot, presumably the one that killed her mother, court papers said. Ludwig then ran through the house calling for Kara, she told investigators.
The couple's 9-year-old son ran to the neighbors, who called 911.
"It's completely insane, completely insane," Lancaster County, Pa., Coroner G. Gary Kirchner said. "This isn't a Romeo-and-Juliet deal. This is far worse than that."
Both Ludwig and Kara maintain Web sites. Hers refers to interests in soccer, art and her Christian faith; his says he enjoys "having soft air gun wars" and claims expertise in "getting in trouble."
"(Cathryn) was concerned that Kara was boy crazy like many young teens, but she was e-mailing back and forth and she poured her heart out to me, 'What should I do,' and 'What a situation,' you know, trying to avoid tragedy," family friend Reba Zimmerman said on CBS News' The Early Show.
An alert for the girl was issued across the East, and police in Pennsylvania and Indiana investigated reported sightings of the pair as they made their way west in a red Volkswagen Jetta.
Authorities received a report Monday morning of a vehicle matching that description at a truck stop near Fort Wayne. Troopers went to the area, but the car was gone.
Information about the car was broadcast to police statewide and troopers spotted it around midday on I-70 in Belleville, Bursten said.
Ludwig got off the interstate and led them on a five-mile chase at speeds of 90 to 95 mph on a two-lane state road, police said. Trooper David Cox said Ludwig was "very reckless and very dangerous at that point," meeting vehicles head-on and running them into a ditch.
