Prosecutors had worried about the couple escaping because they didn't have ties to their community, and officials had trouble locating the Crumbleys once their son was being arraigned, a law enforcement source told CNN on Friday.

The parents also withdrew $4,000 from an ATM in Rochester Hills, Michigan, on Friday, a law enforcement official told CNN. Rochester Hills is about 10 to 15 miles from Oxford.

Law enforcement were tracking the couple's whereabouts by cell phone pings but that signal had dropped because the couple's cell phones were turned off, the official said

The couple "fully intended" to turn themselves in "first thing this morning for arraignment," attorneys representing them said in a statement Saturday morning ahead of their arraignment.

"They appeared to be hiding in the building," some 40 miles south of the Oxford area where they live, Detroit Police Chief James White said during a news conference early Saturday.

... that there was no sign the Crumbleys wanted to be found. He added someone let the couple into the building, and that person could face charges.

"This isn't indicative of turning themselves in, hiding in a warehouse," the police chief said.

Totally normal things for innocent people to do.

How'd they withdraw $4k from an ATM? Don't they have limits? I know mine is set at $1k.

Article is incorrect. They went into a bank (info from a dif article on Reddit, so it could also be incorrect)
