We were definitely relieved to hear that Garver was captured and it was only 3 1/2 miles from our farm. With the help of helicopters, search dogs, SWAT team members, Spokane County deputies and U.S marshals found him a little after 8 pm tonight. Garver, a survivalist, previously boasted that he had weapons and equipment hidden in the woods in the Forker Road area where he was raised. He had a history of military style weapons and explosives, and he had threatened to kill anyone who confronted him.
The county used a "reverse 911" phone feature where all residents in this area received periodic recorded calls giving updates on the search and telling us to stay inside and keep our doors locked. We were called shortly after he was taken into custody. I could hear the helicopters searching all day today and yesterday and had very little sleep last night... so tonight will be a big relief.

what a very frightening time it must have been for you both, please God he now gets the help he needs
Such a relief! So very glad he's back where he belongs and that you are safe.
That must have been a terrible fear for you. I am so glad you are safe. I have never heard of reverse 911, what a good thing.
Wow, how scary, he certainly looks as though he might do damage to something or someone, glad he's been caught.

So glad he's been caught. That kind of excitement no one needs.
Glad they got him so quickly! I thought of you when I saw it on the news.
