Crime-Spree Couple Kidnap Victim: 'They Wanted to Get Married'
Feb 4 2016, 11:24 pm ET
by Tracy Connor and Andrew Blankstein

A hotel clerk kidnapped at gunpoint by Bonnie-and-Clyde-style bandits now wanted in a multi-state crime spree said the couple was hearing wedding bells when they went on the run.

"They wanted to get married," said Kyle Dease, 26, who was abducted by the armed-and-dangerous lovebirds 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 Blake Edward Fitzgerald, 30, and girlfriend Brittany Nicole Harper, 30, who are considered armed and dangerous.

But Dease, who has watched with dread as the fugitives have carried out more kidnappings and robberies, fears they won't go peacefully.
