He could be dead. Or he could be hiding out still. Doug Dirrin said. He vanished two weeks ago about the time his Scottsdale home exploded with his family inside. Mary Fisher had been shot in the head, sources said.
Officials believe the crime was planned.
The manhunt moved into the Tonto National Forest late last week when Fisher's vehicle and dog were found near a labyrinthine network of caves. SWAT teams and detectives spent days searching before the operation was called off Monday. Gila County sheriff's Deputy Tom Rasmussen said there is no sign that Fisher stayed in the tunnels. Jon Selby, a Forest Service patrol officer who has explored the dank caves, said no one could hide in them for long.
