Maryland State Police Search For Murder Suspect In Caroline County

Federalsburg, MD (WJZ)-- Maryland State Police are searching for a suspect after a woman was found murdered Friday in Caroline County.

An arrest warrant has been issued for 49-year-old Stanley E. Ricketts Jr in connection with the death of 42-year-old Tameko L. Barham of the 400 block of Brown Road in Federalsburg.
