On Wednesday afternoon neighbors say they spotted a black Dodge Durango outside of the Barnett's house. Barnett recently replaced the lock on her gate due to someone tampering with the latch, causing neighbors to become suspicious.
On Thursday police spotted the Durango at a truck stop on I-20 and a chase ensued. Brown led officers on a chase that crossed state lines causing the Alabama State Patrol to join in.
At mile marker 208 the vehicle stopped while being pursued. Clayton County police report the Brown retrieved a gun and shot both Barnet and herself.
"We've uncovered a set of handcuffs and some receipts," Gandee said. "[Brown] had purchased the handcuffs prior to this kidnapping."
