Crime-Spree Couple Kidnap Victim: ‘They Wanted to Get Married'

An armed and dangerous bandit couple from Missouri don't just have robberies on their mind. They also want to get married, according to a hotel clerk, who was kidnapped and then released by the two. 

"They wanted to get married," said Kyle Dease, 26, who was abducted by Blake Edward Fitzgerald, 30, and girlfriend Brittany Nicole Harper, 30, for a couple of hours. "They wanted to escape and start new lives."

U.S. Marshals are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Fitzgerald and Harpe who are considered armed and dangerous.

On Sunday morning, the wanted couple showed up at the Microtel Inn and Suites in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where Dease was working the desk. After a quick chat, Dease was forced to accompany them on a string of crimes before he was left in Vestavia Hills.
