Man In Texas Butchers His Own Wife, Takes His Own Child And Slits The Infant's Throat, When The Cops Catch Him He Has No Emotions

The husband murdered his own wife and child

A man in Texas butchered both his wife and infant child, slitting their throats. He tried to escape to Las Vegas but was caught alongside the way by police, who reported that he had no emotions. According to the report:

The Fort Worth man whose wife and infant son were found dead in their home with their throats cut was arrested in Colorado in connection with their slayings.

A man called Glenwood Springs, Colo., police Wednesday and reported that a man who borrowed his phone was acting suspiciously.

Craig Alan Vandewege, 35, was arrested soon after and charged with speeding and failure to provide proof of insurance, Fort Worth police said.

As Vandewege was posting bond Thursday afternoon from the Garfield County jail, Colorado authorities were alerted to a warrant for his arrest, Glenwood Springs police Chief Terry Wilson said.

"He didn’t get out the door before he was back in custody," Wilson said.

Fort Worth police had issued a capital murder warrant for Vandewege's arrest. It's unclear when he will be extradited to North Texas.

Vandewege's wife, 36-year-old Shanna Riddle Vandewege, and their 3-month-old son Diederick, were found dead Dec. 15 in the family's house in the 8500 block of Cactus Flower Drive.

They were found dead in bed with lacerations to their necks, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner.

About 10:40 p.m. Wednesday, a man called Glenwood Springs police to report that someone named "Craig Allen" had borrowed his phone to call a few people to talk about a murder, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

The caller initially said the man was getting into a white Hyundai with no front license plate and was last seen heading toward City Market, the affidavit stated.

Shortly after 11 p.m., Glenwood Springs officers spotted the sedan with no rear license plate heading down the street. The car pulled into a Shell station, and the driver got out and grabbed a license plate from the trunk and screwed it into the holder, the affidavit states.

The officer followed the vehicle as it accelerated  and pulled the driver over for going 37 mph in a 25 mph zone.

Vandewege handed the officer a Texas license and an expired insurance card. When the officer told him he was speeding, he said he hadn't realized, according to police.
