After two days on the lam, running through the woods in circles and hiding in creeks and ponds to throw police dogs off his track, Timothy Wayne Murray must have thought he stumbled upon paradise.
Breaking into an isolated mobile home north of Covington, set back hundreds of yards from the nearest road, the escaped St. Tammany Parish prisoner found all the things he had been without during his flight through the woods.
But after taking time to gorge himself on peanut butter cups and water, shower and shave off his distinctive facial hair, Murray found himself on the business end of a .38-caliber handgun wielded by the property's owner.
If Murray, armed with a steak knife, had taken "one more step" toward the man or his wife, he would have been shot, said the man, who asked not to be identified.
Murray fled, but the property owner's 9-1-1 call helped deputies tracking the suspected killer through some of the most wooded areas in the parish. They caught him hours later, hiding in a wood pile near Bennett Bridge Road.
As Murray, who bore the signs of a struggle with police in the blood that streamed from his nose and covered part of his face, was brought out of the woods, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office celebrated the end of a potentially nightmarish scenario: a jail break staged by four men awaiting trial or sentencing on murder or attempted-murder charges.
