Officers still searching for former inmate suspected in two deaths

Authorities have launched a nationwide manhunt for a former prison inmate suspected of killing two people in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Stephen Stanko is suspected in the strangulation death of librarian Laura Ling of Murrells Inlet in the home they shared. He's also a suspect in the shooting death of 74-year-old Henry Lee Turner of Horry County.
A teenage girl also says Stanko raped her.
Officials in North Carolina and South Carolina didn't report any sightings of Stanko on Monday. He has relatives in Fayetteville, N.C. and Charleston, S.C., but authorities think he could be anywhere in the United States.
Stanko co-wrote a book with two professors in which he said he would never return to prison. Stanko was released from prison nearly a year ago after serving eight-and-a-half years for kidnapping.
