Harris County Sheriff's Office investigators believe Colt Morgan, 29, killed 44-year-old Wende Marshall inside her Cypress-area home and then burned her body. Officers found human remains inside her home earlier this month.
Buffalo police said they spotted Morgan around 8pm Saturday near a Family Dollar in Leon County.
An officer tried to question him, but Morgan reportedly head-butted the officer and took off on foot.
Buffalo police, the Leon County Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Rangers, Texas Department of Criminal Justice and U.S. Marshals searched the area and continued their search on Wednesday. During their search, they found a makeshift shelter made of plastic garbage bags, twine and duct tape, south of Buffalo Texas along train tracks.
Investigators believe Morgan had been living in the shelter. At least two campfires had been built there.
Morgan was not located in the area after an exhaustive search of the area. He is believed to have stolen a red four wheeler and cold weather gear during a burglary in the Buffalo area.
Morgan is charged with murder and remains on the loose. He was last seen wearing black military-style pants, black combat boots and a gray coat.
If you have any information on his whereabouts, call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. Remember, you never have to give your name and you could receive a $5,000 cash reward.
