CAMDEN, Arkansas — The Camden Police chief has personally put up a $1,000 reward for the arrest of a man suspected of killing his girlfriend and her four-year-old son in June.

24-year-old Jory Worthen has been on the run since their murders.

Over five weeks after police found Alyssa Cannon and her four-year-old son Braydon dead inside their home in Camden, Alyssa's mother Angela still has no answers as to what happened on June 25.

"Sometimes I get messages like I've seen him here and I've seen him there, and I don't understand, why didn't you call the police?" Angela said.

But last week Camden police received an anonymous tip that lead investigators to Montez Woods. Police found he met with Worthen in Chidester two days after the murders.

"It hurt my feelings really bad because we knew him, he knew us. He'd been to my house and hung out with my son, my nephew, I don't understand why he would help him in any kind of way," Angela said.

Dana Wetherbee with Camden police said Woods is in jail on a 100-thousand dollar bond.

"We apprehended him and charged him with hindering apprehension or prosecution of Jory Worthen," Wetherbee said.
