For two days, authorities across the country scrambled to find Stephens, the man wanted for the death of Robert Godwin, 74 aged. Someone spotted Stephens’ white Ford Fusion in the parking lot of a McDonald’s near Erie and called authorities. State troopers started a pursuit. One trooper performed a “PIT” maneuver. “As the vehicle was spinning out of control from the PIT maneuver, Stephens pulled a pistol and shot himself in the head,” Pennsylvania State Police said. “Each one of us forgives the killer, the murderer,” Godwin’s daughter Tonya Godwin Baines said Monday. The woman believed to be associated with the suspect has told to media that he was a nice guy. The killer was employed at Beech Brook, a behavioral health agency in northeastern Ohio that serves children, teenagers and families.
