Tampa Bay Rays Prospect's Wife, Son and Mother-in-Law Are Killed — and Brother-in-Law Is Arrested
Matthew Bernard was arrested after leading police on a manhunt while naked
The wife, son and mother-in-law of minor league baseball pitcher Blake Bivens were killed Tuesday, allegedly by Bivens†teen brother-in-law, who led police on a chase while he was naked before being arrested.
Emily Bivens, her 1-year-old son Cullen and her mother were found dead at a home in Keeling, Va., after a neighbor called police to report the body of a female victim in the driveway of the home around 8 a.m., according to local ABC affiliate WSET and ESPN.
Â
About two hours later, Pittsylvania County Public Safety  to residents urging them to be on the lookout for Emilyâ€s brother, Matthew Bernard, whose age has been reported by outlets as both 18 and 19.
Bernard was described as “very dangerous†and was said to be armed with a rifle, according to a statement shared to Facebook.
He had escaped into the woods, sending several local schools into lockdown, before emerging, completely nude, near a church, according to video captured by WSET.
The footage appears to show Bernard circle an officer multiple times before approaching a man in the church parking lot, reportedly the churchâ€s caretaker, and placing him in a chokehold. He eventually releases his grip after an officer approaches with a Taser and mace, and takes off once again.
The video then appears to show Bernard run toward a group of officers who finally apprehend him as he tries to run into the woods once again.
