NEW: Fugitive couple captured following intensive manhunt after escaping custody more than two weeks ago.
Authorities in Arizona say they've captured a fugitive husband and wife couple who've been the subject of an intensive manhunt since escaping custody more than two weeks ago.
The couple's capture came just two days after Barksdale was added to the Unites States Marshals' 15 Most Wanted List. The reward for Blane Barksdale, called a"career criminal" by authorities, had increased to $25,000 with his addition to the 15 Most Wanted List, officials said earlier this week. The couple was in a transport van in Utah when they overpowered the two security guards by faking a medical ailment. They then tied up the guards as well as a third inmate who was in the van, said David Gonzales, U.S. Marshal for the District of Arizona, at a news conference Monday.
