Got him...

The mentally ill Thanksgiving day killer is in custody at last.

"My husband asked me, 'Isn't the guy staying up in 14?'" said Melinda Pfaff, co-owner of the Edgewater Lodge on Long Key. "I looked and said, 'Yes, it is. Let's call America's Most Wanted.'"

At about 10 p.m. officers shattered a sliding glass door in Merhige's room and Mehrige was apprehended after being stunned with a Taser stun gun, police said.

Merhige had been living in Room 14 since Dec. 2, calling himself John Baca and paying in cash.

His room was stocked for a long stay — packed with cans of beans, jars of peanut butter, bread, an empty box of Snickers bars and a half eaten pack of Fig Newtons. In the refrigerator, he had stored away canned fruit and bottled water. In his room was a bottle of "color retention conditioner" and an unused pair of sunglasses.
