On Saturday, U.S. Marshals, border patrol personnel, and Pennsylvania State Police captured Burham on Jackson Run Road in Conewango Township. During the more than a weeklong manhunt, Pennsylvania State Police were aided by more than the U.S. Marshals and border patrol.

A spokesman for the Parma Police Department near Cleveland, Ohio said their only involvement was a reported sighting of an individual who resembled Burham who appeared to be wearing prison - style clothing. It was checked out but had no connection to Burham.
Burham, 34, escaped the Warren County jail late on July 6 by climbing on exercise equipment, going through a window, then using bedsheets to scale down the building. He had been in jail on $1 million bail and was charged with kidnapping, burglary, and other counts.
Burham on Saturday night was originally brought to a Pennsylvania State Police station. Officers told 2 On Your Side Sunday he's been moved to the Erie County prison in Erie, Pa.
