Father, son a deadly duo

Wyoming prosecutors say a father and son on the run from police after tying up five women in a basement abducted and killed a Utah rail worker.

The Lincoln County Attorney's Office charged Flint Wayne Harrison and his son, Dereck James "DJ" Harrison, with first-degree murder and kidnapping Tuesday.

A police statement says an autopsy determined that 63-year-old Kay Porter Ricks died of blows to the head.

Ricks vanished during his May 12 shift maintaining Salt Lake City's light rail system. Police say the Harrisons were hiding out close to where Ricks was working after restraining a woman and her four teenage daughters.

Authorities say they later found Ricks' body along the route the Harrisons likely took to flee to Wyoming. His truck was found near their remote campsite.
