According to a release by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), Caleb Anderson was also a suspect in a homicide case in Flomaton, Alabama, after traveling multiple state lines between August 2-3.
Authorities say that on August 3, a homicide investigation was launched relating to the death of Dwight Dixon, a 52-year-old from Flomaton. Dixon was found deceased when officers from the Flomaton Police Department responded to an emergency call on Dixon Road, in Flomaton.
ALEA special agents identified Anderson as a suspect after ‘successfully utilizing a variety of resources as well as investigative methods.’
Intelligence Analysts quickly began receiving tips from local police departments which assisted ALEA Special Agents in identifying Anderson as the suspect and led to the discovery of evidence which linked him to murders in both states.
