David G. Ludwig and Kara Beth Borden spotted at PA Truck Stop

According to the AP David G. Ludwig, who allegedly killed Michael F. and Cathryn Lee Borden, and Kara Beth Borden spotted at Pennsylvania truck stop Monday morning, but were not caught.

LITITZ, Pa. – A missing 14-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man who allegedly murdered her parents were spotted at a central Pennsylvania truck stop Monday morning, but were not caught, police said.

A worker at the truck stop told The Associated Press the girl appeared to have been crying.

From the reports by witnesses who positively identified Kara Beth Borden at the truck stop; it appeared that Kara Beth Borden had been crying which could show the danger that she may be in. She may have taken against her will rather than as some have speculated that she may be a willing participant in running off with David G. Ludwig.

Lititz Police Chief William Seace said Monday afternoon that Ludwig and Kara Beth, who is believed to be Ludwig’s girlfriend, had been “positively identified” at a truck stop in Lamar, about 90 miles from the Borden home.

Amanda Workman, the shift manager at the Subway sandwich shop at the truck stop, said she sold the couple an Italian sub at about 9 a.m. Monday, and thought they matched a radio description she had heard earlier.

“Her face was all puffy, her eyes were puffy,” Workman told The Associated Press. “You could tell she was crying.”

She said they paid cash and had apparently made another purchase from a different part of the truck stop.

“They were really shady. They didn’t want to talk a lot. They just ordered their sandwich and left,” Workman said.

Borden had her hair in a ponytail and appeared to be crying, Seace said. Ludwig has cut his hair to a length of about one inch, he said.
