By Outer Banks Voice on October 26, 2020
First Judicial District Attorney Andrew Womble released a statement on Oct. 26 saying that John Curtis Tolson has been arrested for the murder of Kitty Hawk resident LeeAnn Fletcher, who was found unresponsive in her home on July 22 and died three days later. Here is the statement.
āOn Monday, October 26, 2020 the Dare County Grand Jury returned a true bill of indictment charging John Curtis Tolson with one count of second-degree murder in the death of LeeAnn Fletcher.Ā Ā Mr. Tolson was served with the arrest warrant and taken into custody by the Bangor Police Department in Bangor, Maine without incident.Ā Ā Our next session of superior court in Dare County is scheduled for November 30, 2020.ā
In a brief interview with the Voice after learning of the arrest, Trisha Cahoon, a cousin of LeeAnn Fletcherās who spearheaded a tireless drive to keep the case on the front burner, was barely able to control her emotions. She and others had identified Tolson as the individual they believe should be arrested for LeeAnnās murder.
āIām happy, and Iām excited, and Iām glad there was no incidentā in arresting Tolson, she said, thanking, in particular, the work of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) which was called into the case.
Referring to the campaign to keep the pressure on for an arrest in the case, Cahoon added that, āI feel like if I hadnāt done what we did, we wouldnāt be here today.ā
