They found the killer in San Diego 
Arthur E. Morgan III, wanted by the FBI on charges of killing his 2-year-old daughter Tierra Morgan-Glover of Lakehurst, has been apprehended in California, according to the U.S. Marshal’s office.
Morgan, 27, is charged in the death of the girl, who was found strapped in car seat in a stream in Shark River Park in Monmouth County on Nov. 22.
He was arrested at a house in San Diego, according to spokesman Michael Schroeder of the U.S. Marshal’s Office.
Imani Benton, Tierra’s mother, said she had been at Wall Township Police Department for hours providing information for their investigation Tuesday. Tierra’s body was found in the part of the park that is in Wall.
“While I was walking out…I told (a police officer), ‘I’m just tired of looking over my shoulder,’” Benton said. “He told me, ‘Imani, you have nothing to worry about.’”
She would find out when she pulled up to a family friend’s house where she had been staying just what he meant.
“Everybody was outside yelling and screaming – they were like, ‘They got him. They got him,’” Benton said. “I couldn’t get out of the car. I just had to sit and let the tears fall for a minute.”
“I hope justice is served and I hope that my story and my situation can prevent another mother going through what I have to go through,” Benton said. “It doesn’t matter what a person does in the streets, you never know what they are going through behind closed doors.”
Steve Jurman, the office's supervising deputy of the U.S. Marshal’s Office in San Diego, said Morgan was captured at a home in that city around 4:30 p.m. Pacific time.
Jurman said his office got a tip from New Jersey authorities that Morgan might be at the home, and surveillance was conducted there for most of the day. Morgan was then spotted on the home's back porch and, after a brief period where it appeared he might try to flee, Morgan was captured without incident.
The arrest brough and an end to an intensive week-long search that had investigators fanning out across the country.
Morgan is charged with the murder of Tierra Morgan-Glover after <span style="font-weight: bold">she was found partially submerged in the park stream strapped in car seat the day after he picked up the little girl from her mother for a court-approved visitation.</span>
