Police on Monday were continuing an intense search for the man suspected of killing the Maryland circuit court judge Andrew Wilkinson outside his home four days earlier and of later abandoning a car he was driving eight miles from the scene of the slaying.
The focus of the search for the accused murderer – identified as 49-year-old Pedro Argote – was shifting out of the immediate vicinity of Hagerstown, Maryland, after law enforcement authorities said they had found a silver Mercedes in Williamsport that he had been driving.
