Overview
- Authorities located and arrested Lennon in Canton, N.Y., after a 13-year search led by the Moore Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service.
- Officials say he had been living as “Justin Phillips” and was enrolled at SUNY Canton, which barred him from returning following his arrest.
- A federal complaint unsealed Monday in Oklahoma charges him with failure to register as a sex offender, while eight state counts filed in 2012 remain pending.
- Investigators previously concluded he staged a bloody abduction and robbery scene at a Moore Super 8 in 2012 and emptied his bank accounts the day before he vanished.
- Law enforcement is executing search warrants on devices and residences in New York as they coordinate extradition and assess potential additional offenses.
