Fugitive Returned to Georgia Soil

Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Gregory Jones, FBI Atlanta, and Chief Ricky Boren, Columbus, Georgia Police Department, announced the return of FBI Top Ten Fugitive Michael Jason Registe to Columbus.

Registe, wanted for the July, 2007 double murders of Columbus State University students Bryan Kilgore and Randy Newton Jr. at Columbus, Georgia, was arrested by St. Maarten police officials in conjunction with the Antilles Director of Public Prosecution and through coordination with the FBI’s Legal Attaché, Bridgetown, Barbados.

Registe, accompanied by FBI agents as well as a Columbus, Georgia police officer, landed at Columbus, via government jet last week and, upon landing on U.S. soil, was turned over to local authorities for processing.

Registe has been indicted by a grand jury and will now await arraignment on those state charges.
