8 Wrongfully Killed

The two-state manhunt for an ex-convict suspected of killing eight people in Illinois and Missouri ended Tuesday night with the easy and peaceful arrest of the fugitive at a bar here.

Nicholas T. Sheley, 28, did not resist arrest when police and FBI agents found him smoking a cigarette outside Bindy's at 7 p.m. A bartender and customer recognized the wanted suspect, whose photo has been circulating on TV and newspapers, and tipped the police.

The suspect has been detained at the Granite City police department. He has been charged with murder for killing 65-year-old Ronald Randall, whose body was found Monday behind a grocery store in Galesburg in northwestern Illinois, police told ABCNews.com.

Sheley is also being linked to the death of two men, a woman, a child, and a 93-year-old man in Sterling and Rock Falls, IL, as well as the death of a couple in Festus, MO.

The bodies of all the victims, who were all killed in the same manner, were found from Thursday to Monday.

To smell his cologne, to hear his laughter, to see him eating across the table on Christmas day... The list is endless. Nicholas Sheley, becouse of you, my family can never have these things again. Not only have you done this to my family but many other families as well. I knew we would go to heaven eventually, but I never pictured any of us going so brutally. I have finally accepted the fact that my uncle is gone. I also know I will see him again when I join the kingdom of god someday. Then we will rejoice. As for you Mr. Sheley, when your time comes the gates will be closed for you. Your agonizing pain will just begin in eternity. For GOD is your true JUDGE. I hope all the victims families stick together with no weak links. We all know that YOU ARE YOUR WEAK LINK Mr. Sheley. For now, I'll say goodbye to my Uncle Ronnie. But I do know I will see you again someday...I LOVE & MISS YOU...

To the young, beautiful souls that were taken in this tragedy and the young boy who life was taken by the hands of a horrible, horrible person... May the Lord accept you in his loving arms and forever protect you from the evils that you should have never known. To the friends and families who have lost their loved ones...may you somehow find peace in all this chaos. From our family to yours, our prayers and thoughts are with you in your time of need. I cannot try to understand the pain one must feel from losing a son or daughter; brother or sister or a child for that matter, at the hands of a sick killer. We can all only hope that justice will soon be served and we can all rest peacefully knowing that this horrible man will never take another life again.
