Man who led cops on long manhunt convicted of killing ex
BANGOR, Maine – A jury has convicted a man of killing his ex-girlfriend before leading police on the longest manhunt in Maine history.
Robert Burton was convicted of murder on Thursday.
Prosecutors say the 40-year-old Burton shot 37-year-old Stephanie “Ginn” Gebo in her Parkman home in June 2015 out of jealousy.
Defence attorneys say Burton acted in self-defence after Gebo shot him in the shoulder. A medical examiner has said Gebo was shot in the back.
Burton spent weeks in the woods before turning himself in. He was on the lam for 68 days.
