A woman and teen are dead after a multistate search that ended in a shooting and traffic jam on I-75 in Warren County Friday.

Authorities said 41-year-old Terry Froman of Brookport, Illinois, shot and killed 17-year-old Michael Mahoney at the teen's home in Mayfield, Kentucky Friday morning. Deputies said he then took the teen's mother hostage and left the scene.

The kidnapping of 34-year-old Kim Thomas by her estranged boyfriend Froman led police on a massive search that ended when he was pulled over near mile marker 31 just before 1:30 p.m., Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers said... Thomas, a licensed nurse, was found dead inside the vehicle.

Earlier Friday, authorities found the body of her 17-year-old son, Michael "Eli" Mohney, in the living room of his mother's home in Mayfield, Ky., while checking on Thomas after she failed to report to work, Redmon said. There were signs of a struggle, he said.

"What we believe, apparently the son intervened and tried to protect his mother, and it cost him his life," the sheriff said. The teenager suffered multiple gunshot wounds...

Mohney attended Mayfield High School... "He's as good as good gets," said Principal Don Hubbard.

"Gosh, we'll miss him, you know?" Thomas said. "He had a spark that was infectious. He's hugging somebody, kissing them all the time. Just had that effervescent personality. He just loved people and they loved him. So did Kim. He got that from Kim. Kim was that way"...

Family said Jackson was a loving nurse and also has a nine-year-old son who is Eli Mohney's half-brother...

Paducah police were watching a video of the naked woman getting out of a white 2004 GMC Yukon and then being forced to get back inside the vehicle. The sheriff's office said KSP dispatch received another call that Terry Froman, 41, of Brookport, Ill., had been to his mother's house in Paducah and was covered in blood. The call said he was very uncooperative in telling his mother what he had been involved in.

Terry Froman, 41, of Brookport, Ill., remains in a Middletown hospital recovering from what authorities said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the shoulder...

Mohney was shot twice in the stomach and in the head. Hargrove said investigators think he was first shot in the stomach and that Froman stood over the teen and shot him in the back of the head "execution-style" as he lay injured.

"It looked like he'd gotten up (from bed) to help his mom," Hargrove said. "This one bothered me. He was a good kid, an honor student. There is no reason for this. (Froman's) intentions were made and he wasn't going to be deterred from that."
