OH Man Kidnaps, Kills Girlfriend, 1-Year-Old Before Killing Self

Ohio authorities sent out an Amber Alert early Sunday morning after a man kidnapped his estranged girlfriend and her daughter, but cancelled that alert just hours later when all three were found dead.

FOX News Radio’s Chris Hoenig has details:

Cleveland Police say 19-year-old Latasha Jackson was walking with her brother and 1-year-old daughter when Thomas Lorde appeared, drawing a gun and ordering Jackson and her daughter to go with him.

(Stevens) “The suspect has an extensive criminal history, he’s a multiple state offender and he’s a sexual predator.  He used a 9mm firearm to kidnap these two gals.”

…Cleveland Police Commander Patrick Stevens.  All three were found shot dead in a garage of an unoccupied building, Lorde’s wound apparently self-inflicted.  Authorities say Jackson was trying to end a two-month relationship with Lorde, who had outstanding felony warrants in New York.
