'We were terrified': Neighbor says she isn't surprised after Cary man wanted for murder captured in Missouri

A Cary man who was wanted for murder in connection to the death of a Wake Forest woman was captured in Missouri on Sunday.

Bradley Morris Hines, 45, was captured in Jefferson County after a police chase. Hines was armed, and fled from officials on foot and in a vehicle.

Hines traveled more than 800 miles across the country avoiding arrest. He's facing a charge of first-degree murder.

The body of Heather Guild was found Thursday night in a home on Gilcrest Farm Road in Wake Forest, hours after her mother had reported her missing, authorities said. No cause of death was released.

Hines has been arrested twice for assault on a female, once on July 8, 2016 and again on October 6, 2019.

The home where Guild's body was found is near the My Guy Auto service center in Youngsville. People who knew Hines said he owns the shop, and Guild was learning to work on cars there.

Another man, Ryan Christopher Curtis, 39, of Franklinton, was charged with resist, delay and obstruct in connection with the investigation of Guild's death.

Hines’s Cary neighbor spoke anonymously with WRAL's Keely Arthur Sunday, telling Arthur, “we were terrified.”

The neighbor would only speak to WRAL if we concealed her identify because she fears for her safety. On Friday, she and other neighbors heard loud banging coming from their homes.

"We didn’t know what we were hearing so that's why we ran to the windows and saw cop cars and an armored vehicle," she said.

When asked if she was shocked by what Hines is being accused of, the neighbor replied, simply, "no." That’s because she says Hines, who lived with a woman and children, often seemed to be up to no good.

"There were always strange vehicles in the neighborhood and always loud noises and just scary looking individuals," she said.
