Wanted Virginia Man Caught By NYS Trooper

A 31-year-old man that allegedly beat a man to death in Virginia, was caught by an off duty New York State Trooper in the Lake George area.

In the story from WNYT, the murder happened on December 28, after David DePaolo got into a fight, and then allegedly used a claw hammer on the man and killed him. The alleged murder took place in a national park which made this a federal charge.

It was discovered that DePaolo was in the area after police found out that he used a debit card in Glens Falls. There was a minivan, which was part of an interstate manhunt, seen by the trooper, just off of Exit 21 of the Northway.
