El Reno Police and OSBI have identified a suspect in the multiple murders discovered Monday afternoon at the Elizabeth Place Apartments in El Reno. Investigators are searching for Joshua Steven Durcho (dob 2-21-83). Durcho has multiple tattoos on his body including one on the back of his neck. Agents believe he is driving the victim’s 1989 white Ford Thunderbird which has front end damage. The Oklahoma vehicle tag number reads WRQ-590.

According to the press conference just concluded the suspect was last seen in Clinton OK, so it appears that he headed West from El Reno. I am posting this just to alert everyone to the West. Doesn't mean he won't come back this way, but for now we know he WAS going West.

Thanks for posting the picture. It needed to be done.

[HollyB]

Sick is an understatement for this guy. I’m praying for his immediate capture and safety for all of those he comes in contact with.

[stentorian conservative]

I hope somebody gets this POS. He looks like puss. Just the type to kill a woman and four babies, God rest their souls.

If he comes to Colorado Springs, I’ve got the welcome prepared.

[CharlieOK1]

Gawd, I hate to say this, but... He kind of looks like me in that picture. If his goattee went all the way around his mouth, yikes!

I know right where this is in El Reno. They call the area The Bottoms

Be On Look Out

[pepperdog]

Okay:^) Be On the Look Out (BOLO) it is a very common acronym used extensively by law enforcement. And what does yours mean?

[Joann37]

Thanks for the explanation - I didn’t know either.

[2ndClassCitizen]

Capture?

How about a more permanent solution?

[KingSnorky]

I’m hoping to see an Armed Citizens Ping news report soon.

[toldyou]

Does anone know if he knew his victims or was it random?

[rednek]

Up until now, this bozo was just a petty criminal. Since 2000 - he has racked up 3 misdemeanor marijuan changes, 3 misdemeanor paraphernalia charges, 1 public drunk, 3 driving with no license, 1 no insurance, 1 DUI and 2 felony marijuana posession charges. The game has changed and he is gonna get to play with the big boys now..............red

[peace with honor]

I’d just like to meet him, I would have a special gift ONLY FOR HIM, it be best if we were alone on the highway

[rednek]

victim was apparently his girlfriend according to local news reports.....red

Cherokee Ballard, a spokeswoman for the state Medical Examiner's office, confirmed the deaths were homicides. Brown would not say how the victims died, pending autopsy results. She said the victims were not shot.

This is worse than I thought.

[IM2MAD]

I wonder for what crime he was wearing the orange jumpsuit in that picture.

[Concho]

Is there a reward on him? If he is in Clinton he is using the back roads and he’s going to be coming my way.

[ExpatGator]

Dang, you’re ugly ; )

[Ramius]

Aw, geez... that’s not good. I don’t understand how somebody can do things like this. I really don’t.

Maybe if I’m lucky he’ll show up in Washington.

[pepperdog]

Thanks for posting that link. Of additional info is the fact that he had car trouble when spotted in Clinton but was able to get the car restarted. So he may be stranded along the road somewhere. Just want to keep everyone alerted, particularly watching for supposedly stranded motorists and abandoned vehicles that might fit the description.

[pepperdog]

Don’t know, but I’m sure we’d all take up a collection...

[TheConservativeParty]

I hope they do not take him alive. No need to waste taxpayer money on that devil.

I am trying not to cry. Those poor angels!

[AUJenn]

I do not mean to be graphic at all, but it confuses me when authorities say they “have an idea” of how one was murdered but openly exclude a gunshot death. Does this mean that THEY know how the deaths happened (stabbing, drowning, etc) but do not want to release it to the public?

[CharlieOK1]

I am a bit more clean-shaven than him, except for my goatee. And I probably smile a bit more than him.

Plus, I don't have the look in my eyes of a cold-blooded murderer. ; )

[ExpatGator]

“Plus, I don’t have the look in my eyes of a cold-blooded murderer. ; )”

There is that in your favor. Lots of women I’ve known find that appealing. Although, a few of them would have dug the cold eyed look.

[pepperdog]

The OSBI lady said they were deliberately not releasing everything as they needed for him to tell them. I think this is standard procedure, not to release everything about a crime. It will come out at the trial or maybe when he’s caught and confesses, if he confesses.

[CharlieOK1]

where are you getting your info?

[Mila]

"About 3:55 p.m. Monday, a police officer making a welfare check at Rust's apartment found her and her son Teagin Rust, 4, and daughters Kirsten Rust, 7, Autumn Rust, 6, and Evynn Garas, 3, dead inside, Brown said."

I wonder why a police officer might have been doing a welfare check on the victims' apartment.

I love figuring these out!

Why Can't You Just Spell Out Words So Everyone Can Understand The F***in Message"

That's my guess...am I right, dbacks?

[dbacks]

“That’s my guess...am I right, dbacks? “

WOW. You are phenominal! You got it. WOW, again. I can’t believe you figured it out. WOW!

Victim was dating the suspect and dumped him this past weekend, so he apparently slaughtered her and the four little children.

No earthly punishment is adequate for such a monster.

I watched the interview with the OSBI Information lady at noon today. It was pretty straight forward and for once you could hear what the reporters were asking her rather than just the answer, so things made a lot more sense than they sometimes do with these kind of interviews. I think it was on Channel 9. I missed the 6pm news this evening so I don't know if there is anything new. I hope they have caught him!!

[CharlieOK1]

I heard a little news preview last night that said he was behind bars. But I didnt stay up long enough to see the story on the news.

[CharlieOK1]

She did not elaborate on how the five people were killed but said that the victims suffered obvious trauma.

[pepperdog]

I'm so glad he is off the streets. They got him in about 24 hours after the discovery of the murders. He evidently went to Clinton, probably thinking of going on to Cordell where he was raised, and then doubled back and headed South on I-35 into Texas. They caught him in Waco. They said on the news that he had called his family at around 2am and they begged him to surrender. It didn't sound like he surrendered, more like he was caught, but I am not absolutely clear on that.

Excerpt:
Durcho was caught last night after being in a car accident near Hamilton, after he and a Texas trooper drove by each other.

A Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman says the trooper noticed Durcho was driving erractically after passing the lawman, then the suspect’s car hit some trees.
