With Govan's arrest, this means that every case from the August 16, 2008 episode has been solved.
The other fugitives (this was the only unsolved case) have all been captured; James Bell, Robert Bowman, Michael Bresnahan, Mark Everett and Harpal Hira.

New details as apparently Govan mouthed "I love you" to Rashawn's mother in court, and claimed he did not associate with Brazell because he believed he was an "abomination" due to his homosexuality. He also claimed to be in St. Louis at the time of Brazell's murder, but documents show he had actually attended Brazell's memorial. He also oddly referred to Brazell as his cousin during some police interviews, even though the two aren't related. This guy sounds two french fries short of a happy meal. Hope he's not going for an insanity defense because it's not going to fly with me. There's a difference between being mentally ill and just being a callous grade-A a-hole. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4279966/Beheading-suspect-says-love-victim-s-mother.html

Very glad to hear that Rashawn Brazell's Killer has been brought to justice, the killer is a typical ghetto trash scumbag that needs to be prosecuted to the death penalty.

Govan has been sentenced to 25 years to life after he was convicted of the murder of Sharabia Thomas. He is still awaiting trial for the murder of Rashawn Brazell.

I'm bumping this up not because of an update but a possible theory- I was going through some mid-2000s missing children/teenager cases to add to our forum and two teens from Brooklyn both disappeared in 2005, the same year Rashawn was killed and it made me think of Govan- Tirrel Santiago was a 16-year-old transgender and African-American teen and 18-year-old Edmond Tillman was a 14-year old gay male and African-American teenager. I'm just wondering if it's ever been investigated as to whether Govan could possible have to do with either of their disappearances as in my opinion they both fit his alleged m.o. amwfans.com/thread/9226/tirrel-santiago-new-york-2005amwfans.com/thread/9228/edmond-tillman-new-york-2005

And if Govan's MO was mostly targeting LGBT teenagers, could it be possible that he was involved in radical fundamentalism in one religion or another, be it political activity or some underground ragtag violent criminal group?

With all due respect I think this is taking the thread in a completely different direction than what I was getting at and wanted to further discuss (not to mention as much as I hate radical fundamentalists I think that's being a bit far-fetched in this case). Granted I'm throwing a theory out there as well, but it's within the confines of Govan's M.O. as a serial killer, not about stuff outside of that.
