The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Thursday at 8:10 p.m. that the two fugitives wanted in the double homicide of two Georgia Department of Corrections officers have been captured.

GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles says 43-year-old Donnie Russell Rowe and 24-year-old Ricky Dubose were apprehended Thursday in Christiana, Tennessee after a high speed chase.

Shelbyville Police got a call about a home invasion Thursday. She said the inmates held an elderly couple captive and then fled in the couple’s vehicle.

CBS affiliate WTVF reports the two inmates walked to a house on a dead-end road off of Highway 82, just south of Shelbyville city limits, where they held the couple there at gunpoint, tied them up, and spent a few hours in the house with them before leaving in one of the couple’s vehicles. The couple was in their 60s, and the inmates stayed at their home from 2:30 p.m. until about 5:30 p.m.

The victims told deputies the suspects held guns to their heads and told them they would kill them. The inmates reportedly said they were murderers from Georgia, and they didn’t have anything to lose because they would likely be dead in 24 hours.

The couple was tied up with belts, and the inmates ate beef stew that one of the victims had just prepared. When the inmates left the couple’s home, they took the man’s boots and clothes, the woman’s jewelry and other valuables.

When the couple eventually broke loose, they called the Sheriff’s Office.

Police responded and began chasing the pair. Miles said the inmates got in a wreck on the interstate, left the vehicle and then led police on a foot chase into nearby woods.

The interstate was closed as a result, causing significant backup. Traffic on I-24 was being diverted from the area of the vehicle’s crash and was not expected to open until the scene had been fully processed.

Officials with THP said the inmates ran an estimated six or seven miles until they came upon a home in the woods, where they attempted to carjack the vehicle in the home’s driveway. The homeowner saw the men, and he, along with a neighbor, called police. The two held the inmates at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived.
