Some details from the local WV paper, I hope this isn't a duplicate post that I missed:

"The Journal: Martinsburg, West Virginia

Fugitive found

The man wanted for questioning in connection with a June 5 Salt Lake City kidnapping checked into City Hospital under an assumed name, the victim of an apparent drug overdose.

The Martinsburg Journal
6/21/2002
MARTINSBURG, WV - Local police and FBI agents were tight-lipped Friday evening about the man who was wanted for questioning in a Utah kidnapping and checked into City Hospital early Thursday morning.

Bret Michael Edmunds, 26, walked into the emergency room Thursday at approximately 5:15 a.m. using a false name, according to City Hospital spokeswoman Teresa McCabe. He suffered from liver damage caused by an apparent drug overdose, she said. He was alone, according to hospital staff.

He was admitted to the intensive care unit around 10:30 a.m. Hospital nurses in the ICU unit, became suspicious and contacted the FBI Friday afternoon after Edmunds gave inconsistent information. FBI agents identified the drifter around 3 p.m. and arrested him.

Three other patients who were in ICU at the same time as Edmunds were transferred to another part of the hospital, McCabe said. Eight or nine U.S. marshals and West Virginia State Police troopers stood guard on the locked-down unit. FBI agents have questioned Edmunds and hospital staff, according to McCabe. Edmunds faded in and out of consciousness Friday, officials said.

"He still needs medical care," McCabe said. "As long as he's here, he'll remain under guard."

FBI officials said Edmunds will not be moved until his condition stabilizes. At presstime, he was listed in serious condition.

Late Friday afternoon, state police and FBI agents roped off a portion of City Hospital's front parking lot, leaving only a dark-green Saturn with Washington plates believed to be Edmunds' car in a row of 13 spaces. An FBI agent wearing rubber gloves opened the trunk, revealing clothes and other items stuffed inside. State troopers took photos of the car before a worker with Big K's Towing hauled it from the parking lot. News helicopters hovered overhead and TV trucks were set up in the parking lot.

Police declined to release information on what Edmunds may have been doing in Martinsburg.

Reporters from several major networks converged in an eighth-floor conference room to interview McCabe. Cable news shows, including Larry King Live, CNN and Fox News, called to speak with her.

"This is probably the biggest thing that's happened at City Hospital," McCabe said.

Authorities across the country had been looking for Edmunds, a transient living out of his Saturn, because a Salt Lake City milkman remembered seeing him near Elizabeth Smart's home two days before the teen was kidnapped. The milkman recalled part of the license plate number of Edmunds¹ car and passed it along to police.

Those plates, stolen from another car, were found last week along a road north of Salt Lake City.

Edmunds was being held on a federal warrant charging him with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution for violating probation in Utah on charges unrelated to the Smart case. He has been considered a fugitive since October.

"He is still not a suspect at this time," said Salt Lake City Police Chief Rick Dinse. "He¹s a question mark and we want to put a period on that question mark."

Federal and state officers will question Edmunds if they get a chance and others are being sent from Salt Lake City, Dinse said in a press conference in Utah.

Smart was taken from her bedroom. Her 9-year-old sister, Mary Katherine, described the kidnapper as a 5-foot-8 man.

Edmunds is 6-foot-2 and 235 pounds.

As soon as Edmunds is medically able, he will be taken to a magistrate for a hearing. Edmunds will then be taken to Utah "forthwith."

A $250,000 reward created by family, friends and community is being offered for the safe return of Elizabeth Smart. Anyone with information is asked to call 1-800-932-0190."
