Lee Boyd Malvo

Lee Boyd Malvo (alias John Lee Malvo) (born February 18, 1985), along with John Allen Muhammad, was arrested on October 24, 2002 in connection with the Beltway sniper attacks. A jury convicted Malvo of capital murder on December 18, 2003, and recommended a sentence of life imprisonment without parole on December 23, 2003, which a judge formally agreed with on March 10, 2004. He has since plead guilty to another murder, and is facing additional charges in several states. He was held at Red Onion State Prison, located in Wise County, one of Virginia's two supermax prisons, prior to his extradition to Maryland in May, 2005.

Interstate Rampage

In the summer of 2002, Malvo and Muhammad were seen for a short time in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Malvo's fingerprints were also found at the scene of a murder at a liquor store in Montgomery, Alabama, where another employee was seriously wounded, but survived. From there, the rampage and attempt to extort $10 million from the U.S. Government shifted to the Washington, DC area and Virginia.
