Man accused of killing mother, kidnapping child waives extradition

Update: A man accused of killing his 62-year-old mother and kidnapping his six-year-old son is expected back in Oklahoma next week.

Osage County sheriff's office tells KRMG Robert Connor III has waived extradition to Oklahoma.  He's currently in Denton, Texas after being found in a motel near Dallas.

UPDATE: KRMG has confirmed that family members have Declan's brother, Jonathan, and are working with DHS to bring Declan back to Oklahoma.

Debbie Connor's daughter, Natalie, tells FOX23 that her mother was a graduate of Charles Page High School and was well known around town.

She also says it's likely that Jonathan and Declan saw and heard what happened. They are working to have the boys speak with a counselor  tomorrow.

UPDATE: Police in Lewisville, Texas have taken a Sand Springs murder suspect into custody and safely recovered his 6-year-old son.

Capt. Jay Powell says officers used a PA system to contact Robert Leroy Connor at the Fairfield Marriot Hotel in Lewisville, a few miles north of the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport.

Connor did surrender peacefully, though he had refused to respond to police for several hours.

His son, Declan Connor, was recovered safely at the hotel, along with a small dog that had been left in Connor's vehicle overnight.

KRMG is working to obtain additional details about Connor's status and whether he will fight extradition back to Oklahoma.

Update: Police in Lewsiville, Texas have surrounded a hotel there believing that Amber Alert victim Declan Connor is being held by his father, Robert Leroy Connor.

SWAT teams have moved into position and negotiators are on-scene as well.  Rooms near where the suspect and victim are thought to be are being evacuated as police try to get closer to the situation.

KRMG News reporter Russell Mills is en route to the scene.
