A Texas man identified by police as a suspect in the slayings of a woman and her young daughter in Fort Worth has been captured in Tennessee.
Paige Terrell Lawyer was being held Monday at the Rutherford County jail in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, southeast of Nashville.
Jail records show Lawyer, 37, was being held for police in Fort Worth who are investigating the deaths Friday of 30-year-old Otishae Womack and her elementary-school-age daughter.
