Police say that Rev Edward E. Everitt, a 70-year-old Catholic priest, was shot to death by a handyman during a weekend retreat in Mississippi.
The suspect was arrested in Florida where he was to go to Disney World with his family.
Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Jon Kalahar said that the suspect, Jeremy Wayne Manieri, 31, was taken into custody at a hotel in Polk County, Florida, after police tracked the slain priest’s stolen car using its anti-theft device.
Mr Manieri, who was there with his ex-wife and kids was up early to use the three-day theme park passes he had bought with the slain priests funds, officials said.
