Suspect in Maryland Judge’s Execution Turns Up Dead in Woods
The man accused of executing Maryland Circuit Court Judge Andrew Wilkinson after a contentious divorce hearing last week was found dead just a mile from where his car had been found abandoned, the Washington County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday.
“The Washington County community can breathe a little easier this afternoon,” Washington County Sheriff Brian Albert during a press conference Thursday.
Pedro Argote’s remains are headed to a medical examiner for an autopsy, Albert said. He declined to comment on the cause of death or whether Argote was found with a firearm.
