FBI knew fugitive Roy McGrath had bought used Cadillac and had gun, multiple cellphones, attorney says

BALTIMORE — The FBI knew Roy McGrath had purchased a used Cadillac, had a gun and was using multiple cellphones prior to the confrontation that led to his death Monday in suburban Tennessee, according to McGrath’s attorney, Joseph Murtha.

Murtha told The Baltimore Sun on Thursday that updates from federal investigators looking into his client’s death have been slim, saying “it’s been quiet,” and that he was “still waiting to find out what happened.”

But Murtha said he’d heard from people familiar with the investigation about the car, weapon and phones, and said it was his understanding that the “FBI was continually investigating (McGrath’s) whereabouts, and how he was apprehended was directly related to the FBI investigation.”
