Authorities have captured a husband and wife who overpowered the guards in a prison van and tied them up with shoelaces, as they were transported across the country to face murder charges.

Blane Barksdale, 56, and his wife Susan Barksdale, 59 were brought into custody in the late hours of Sept. 11, according to the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office, after two weeks on the run.
