police say steve stephens killed mself in erie, pennsylvania, after a tip. police officers found him in this local restaurant parking lot and then there was a police chase. stephens was found in the original area that his cell phone was picked up by a cell tower. but for nearly 48 hours, authorities scred

. >> do we know anything about how they tracked him to erie? >> all we know, when we heard from the fbi and the u.s. mar shalls that they would have it, and they were coordinating with law enforcement across the country. we know from the last press conference that they weren't able to track his car, for example. that is one of the first things they looked at. whether or not it had a gps that would allow them to track it where ever it was. they weren't able to do that. so it appears that law enforcement spotted the car or someone else did. that is what we hope to find out and we expect to shortly in this press conference. >> and joining us now, an experienced former fbi profiler. what do we know about him? what do we know about steve stephens and what could have motivated him to this random and senseless killing. >> one of the things we know is his demise at his own hands is something that i think many in lawsuit anticipated. as you suggest, it was a random act of violence. and because of that, because it was unplanned, and because his life, it

based on early information from the erie -- from officials in erie who said that there was a cell phonected from steve stephens cell phone after the shooting occurred. now, they later walked that back and there was never really a good clarification on whether or not that ping had come from one of his devices. we do know that he had multiple devices that the police talked about knowing how many devices he had. but that was a big part of their investigation as well. so just waiting for that confirmation from authorities here that they are on the same page after seeing that tweet from the pennsylvania state police. and that's what we're waiting for here, kate. >> absolutely. just to reiterate the very important breaking news happening right now, we're waiting for a press conference, you see that on the left side of your screen, they're setting up for a press conference in cleveland where we're going to be getting an update from authorities, from the mayor, from the police chief. from the pennsylvania state police, coming just a short time ago, steve stephens was spotted this morning by psp

he wasn't moving on the streets in erie all this time because, craig, the troopers and erie pd would have seen him. when he came out from his hide to go to mcdonald's and eat is when he got spotted. he was -- he knew a rural area there, a state park, or had a abandoned building or a friend or he had some location he could go there and lay low, so that's one question. of course the second question goes back to what clint was discussing, the psychological, you know, drift down in the death spiral, you know, why didn't you think you could reach out for help when your career is in behavioral, you know, help to others and yet you couldn't reach out and get the help. when a person finds themselves at that low, they can go down a rub. if they reach out they can go back up. he took the, you know, the easy way out, but killing mr. godwin was such a vulgar act. i mean, mr. godwin is the face of america. when you see him there, foundry worker his whole life, big family, i mean that is so sad. i mean we should remember mr. godwin. he's the guy that did everything right. and not this killer. and

pennsylvania state police found him tuesday morning in erie county. they attempted traffic stop but he took off. and after a short pursuit, he shot and killed himself. >> there was a lot of support from the community in terms of law enforcement efforts and kind of information and tips that we were given. >> reporter: now folks here in cleveland are breathing a sigh of relief. while the godwin fm family continues to mourn. stephens family is speaking out as well. saying he was driven to desperation by a failed relationship and heavy gambling debts. >> he let that girl upset him so bad like that. and that what caused him to sn snap. he was gambler. that started all of this. >> reporter: facebook working to make sure a video like this never makes it online again it's of violent videos before theyyp- get posted or go live. in cleveland, matt finn, fox news. >>> people in erie are stunned that it all came down to a trip to mcdonald's. stephens apparently order add large chicken mcnuggets and fries when he pulled up to the window for this food workers recog

. >> today, at 11:10 a.m., a concerned citizen contacted psp erie and indicated that steven stephens sighted at mcdonald's restaurant in harbor creek township. stephens was wanted for the homicide of robert godwin in cleveland, ohio. troopers responded to that location, located the vehicle and initiated a pursuit which traveled west on buffalo road towards the city of erie. at that time, wesleyfield borough joined the pursuit. he stopped his car one mile from the pursuit area. as the troopers exited their patrol vehicles, stephens fled west on buffalo road. the pursuit continued for approximately one mile where troopers executed a precision and mobilization technique otherwise known as a pit maneuver near downing avenue. this resulted in the ford fusion coming to a stop. at that time, stephens used a handgun to take his own life. currently search warrants are being executed on the ford fusion and its contents. at this point, we cannot determine if stephens had been in the erie area but we'll continue to investigate and assist the cleveland police department with this investigation. a

they always had erie on their radar for two reasons., stephens' cell phone pinged here on sunday and there's a casino here he often went to. police were here on sunday canvassing the area. they were back here about to continue the search today when they got a tip from a mcdonald's just two miles from where i'm standing. an eagle-eyed worker in the drive thru spotted stevens and took his order and then stalled while the restaurant called police. >> the search for steve stephens has ended. >> reporter: the nationwide search for the man police say killed a 74-year-old man and posted a video of it on facebook is over. >> pennsylvania state police officers received a tip that the vehicle that we were looking for, the white ford fusion, was in a mcdonald's parking lot near erie, pennsylvania. >> reporter: the suspect took off leading police on a four-mile chase, the chase ending when he lost control of his car. >> at the end steve stephens took his own life. >> reporter: that ended a nationwide manhunt when he killed 74-year-old robert godwin

facebook killer, steve stephens was spotted this morning in erie county. stop was attempted after a brief pursuit, stevens shot and killed himself. more information being released. this is the one headline we have. it sounds exactly how you mapped it out. it would be in the realm of expectations from an individual like this. >> we anticipated that that was going to happen. i set out on several shows yesterday. mr. stevens wanted to go out and a blaze. it sounds like, we're getting this information off the wire, but it sounds like that's exactly what happened. one other thing real quick, on this past sunday, police indicated that they did ping his cell phone in erie, pennsylvania, . that is only about 90 miles outside of the city of cleveland, so it is very possible that could have been where he is. we're going to wait to see what happens at 12 noon, but it sounds to me like the situation, this horrific situation, is finally over. >> jenna: according to reports and confirmation that we received, ed apparently looks like that is the case. we're waiting for m
