PREVIOUS: WSLS-10 is reporting that Franklin County murder suspect Michael Brown was hiding in the RV found near the Grandin Village last month as law enforcement searched the vehicle. Brown’s attorney Deborah Caldwell-Bono says her client was hiding, behind a cabinet, somewhere near the top of the vehicle during the search and when it was towed to a lot five miles away. Officials with the US Marshals Service say they are aware of the “rumor” but would not confirm if it was true.
