I just got back from my road trip . I did truly miss all of you .

I didn't have e-mail access in Houston but I will be up until Ileave for New Orleans at the end of the month.

I hope all is great with my second family, and that is how I feel about you all.

This is a funny story to me

COLUMBIA, Tenn. (AP) - The credit for the bust is going to the bovines. A tip on the whereabouts of Parker Ray Elliott, suspected of fatally shooting his ex-wife and daughter and wounding his son, had led authorities Monday to search near a Maury County farm.

``I saw four or five cows by a barn,'' said state parks employee Shane Petty, who was tracking Elliott on Monday with his bloodhound, Ellie May. ``I knew those cows should have been looking at me, since I had just come into the area, but they were looking over into the woods, so I knew that's where he was.''

Officers soon captured Elliott in those woods.

Petty said his college degree in agriculture helped him read the cattle's behavior.


``And I'm an old farm boy,'' he said.



A manhunt for Elliott had been under way since the shootings Thursday at his ex-wife's home in the Culleoka community, about 50 miles south of Nashville.



Elliott is being held in the Maury County jail awaiting a hearing set for Tuesday.
