On Monday, investigators from the area released pictures of a man they said Carlin-Kraft had been in contact with before his death.

According to officials in Pennsylvania, Harris had taken a bus across the state, and U.S. marshals were waiting for him when it arrived because of a tip from someone on the bus.

The victim and suspect were at a bar shortly before the murder, according to police.

Harris is charged with murder, robbery and theft.
