Curley
Utah police intensify manhunt for suspect in deputy's slaying

SALT LAKE CITY - More law-enforcement teams were being called in yesterday to hunt down a man accused of killing a Utah sheriff's deputy.
Scott Curley has eluded authorities for three days and was believed to be hiding in the wilderness on the Arizona-Utah line.
"It's hard to find someone who doesn't want to be found," Coconino County, Ariz., Sheriff Bill Pribil said yesterday, according to a recording provided by his department.
More teams are being called in to replenish officers who have been working in the field, and the search command center is moving to larger quarters at the Kanab Municipal Airport in Utah from the town hall in Fredonia, he said.
Harris was tracking Curley, who was wanted for burglary, when he was ambushed Thursday and shot to death. Authorities say Curley fired at other police officers with an assault rifle before vanishing in the wilderness.
The U.S. Marshals Service offered a $10,000 reward Saturday for information leading to Curley's capture.
Officers have found no food or water caches that could sustain Curley, but have seen his footprints around the area and are trying to track them, Pribil said.
Some of Curley's friends told authorities he may have stashed food and water in "spider holes" - caves or hiding places at the base of cliffs.
A man who has lived across the street from Curley and three other men since 2005, said they would sometimes party at the house until the late-night hours or drive home drunk and pass out on the lawn before making it inside.
"They'd have fights out on the streets and get to whoopin' and hollerin' at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning," he said. "I think he had malice in his heart, but I didn't think it would go this far," the neighbor said. Curley was suspected of trying to burglarize Fredonia High School and holding a janitor at gunpoint on Wednesday night. The janitor was unharmed, and Curley avoided authorities until Thursday.
