RETHERFORD LATEST-SS-SOTVO-WIPE

NEW TONIGHT --

WE'RE LEARNING NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING TWO PEOPLE, BEFORE LOSING HIS OWN LIFE IN A SHOOTOUT WITH LEE COUNTY DEPUTIES.

SHERIFF MIKE SCOTT SAYS JUST BECAUSE BILLY RETHERFORD IS DEAD, DOESN'T MEAN THE INVESTIGATION IS OVER.

IN FACT, HE TELLS US THEY'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO HELPED HIDE WHERE RETHERFORD WAS DURING AN INTENSE TWO WEEK MANHUNT.

"It's very much against the law to aide or harbor a fugitive, in this case. And there's no doubt in anybody's mind he was wanted. It's been all over the media. We had put that out pretty early that he was a suspect."

SHERIFF SCOTT ALSO ADMITTED DEPUTIES QUESTIONED RETHERFORD AND HIS NEPHEW, DUSTIN JAYE DAYS AFTER DEBRA STRIANO'S MURDER.

RETHERFORD LATEST-SOTVO

issue a ruling."
