(AUG 5) Yesterday afternoon emails began coming in about one of our photographers, Dale Hausner who had done some past fight coverage in the Arizona area for WBAN.  Hausner was arrested for murder,  being one of two suspects in the serial killings in Arizona, that began in May of 2005 (according to news sources)

I first got the breaking news from Amy Greene of A Ring of Their Own,  asking if I had heard about Hausner being one of the suspects in the serial killings in Arizona.  After nearly falling off my chair about this news, it could have only been moments that I was getting requests by email from the news media to contact them in regards to Hausner working with WBAN as a photographer. 

I honestly still could not believe it, even when speaking to several news media agencies, and each and every one confirming it was indeed---Dale Hausner.

Apparently, he became a person of interest, along with his friend, Samuel John Dieteman when a map with red and blue dots representing the locations of the attacks, were found in an apartment complex where the two lived.  In the bag it also contained an expended .410-gauge shotgun shell, and a piece of paper referring to serial violence, according to the news posted on other news media coverage.

In a search of their apartment, detectives found a .410-gauge shotgun and ammunition in the suspects' possession. Police also found other guns and long rifles and news clippings about the killings.  According to a report, Hausner and Dieteman would take turns driving and shooting, and Dieteman admitted to carrying out many of the shootings.
