On Saturday the news broke that one-time Dodgers pitcher Charlie Haeger was on the run from police in Arizona in connection to a murder. Unfortunately, that story met an even worse ending on Saturday evening.
Haeger was on the run after reportedly murdering his ex-girlfriend Danielle Breed, 34, in her apartment on Friday night. He threatened her roommate while fleeing the scene of the crime and evaded authorities throughout the night. Early Saturday, his vehicle was found abandoned north of Scottsdale in Flagstaff, AZ.
Sadly, the manhunt reached a grim conclusion as the 37-year-old Haeger was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on a trail in the Grand Canyon late Saturday afternoon.
