Woman Arrested In Slayings Of 4 People In Central Michigan

CLARE, Mich. (AP) — Authorities on Thursday, Oct. 21, arrested a woman whom they had been seeking in the deaths of four people in central Michigan.

Clare County Sheriff John Wilson said Judy Boyer was taken into custody about 10:40 a.m. Thursday, the Mount Pleasant Morning Sun reported.

Authorities had been looking for Boyer, 54, since Wednesday evening, saying she should be considered armed and dangerous. They did not immediately say if she had been charged in the deaths.

Two men, ages 39 and 36, were found wounded about 4 p.m. Wednesday in Clare after police responded to reports of a shooting. Those men later died, police said.

The bodies of an 85-year-old man and 61-year-old woman were found elsewhere on the same property, Wilson said Thursday. Authorities did not immediately say how they died and did not disclose a possible motive for the killings.

Clare is about 160 miles (257 kilometers) northwest of Detroit.
