"He was remorseful, and he sobbed. He just didn't know that the hunt for him was going to escalate to the point that it did," said Jim Eldridge, police chief in the small Cumberland Plateau town of Algood, 75 miles east of Nashville.

Crawford, who owns Off Road Performance in Cookeville, Tenn., told Eldridge that Rapid City was as far as he could go with the money he had. There, he befriended members of the Southside Church of Christ.

Crawford was discovered after missing person fliers that had been distributed to Church of Christ congregations in several states reached the Southside church. Eldridge and Crawford's father, Doyle Crawford, flew to South Dakota Tuesday to meet him.

On Tuesday, Matthew Allen, a former minister at Southside Church of Christ in Rapid City, recognized Crawford's picture on a missing-person flyer that had been sent to his Indiana home.

Steve Hamilton, Southside Church of Christ minister in Rapid City, said Crawford was clean-cut, hard working and very private about his past. He regularly attended church and Bible study.
