POLICE
AFFIDAVIT PROVIDES DETAILS ABOUT CARIBOU MURDER
The
report released Tuesday after 19-year-old Christopher Shumway appeared
in court in Caribou, goes into detail of how police went from looking
into a missing person call to investigating the murder of 20-year-old
Erin Sperrey of Presque Isle.
Investigators say Christopher Shumway of Caribou beat Erin Sperrey
to death at the Tim Horton's coffee shop in Caribou while the two
were working.
Police say Shumway told them he and Sperrey got into a struggle inside
Tim Horton's. He told police he pushed her down and took her car keys
then started to strangle Sperrey. Shumway told police he kicked her
in the head, mouth and chest and left her in the bathroom while he
went to wait on customers.
Shumway told police when he returned to the bathroom, Sperrey wasn't
breathing. Police say Shumway told them he dragged Sperrey out to
her car and put her in the backseat, stole the cashbox from the office
and drove off with about $1,200.
Shumway ran off the road near Lincoln and police say a family picked
him up and dropped him off in Bangor. Shumway then checked into the
Motel 6 on Hammond Street.
"He appeared like he was tired. Normal people at 2 a.m. are wiped
out and that's what he appeared to be, just tired. He wanted a room
and go to bed. He did say he was a smoker, I didn't have any smoking
rooms at that point so I handed him an ashtray and said there you
go," says Catherine Fisher, a clerk at Motel 6.
Police arrested and charged Shumway with murder. He's being held at
the Aroostook County Jail with out bail.
