UPDATE: Criminal histories of Bostian & Myers

The man wanted for burglary, robbery and kidnapping is dead after a standoff with police. Police shot and killed Todd Bostian in Hot Springs Friday morning. The woman he took hostage, Kasey Myers was also killed.

Crime scene tape is gone, but there is still a lot of work for police on this one. "There was a lot of gunshots and a lot of screaming," Lt Rodney Neighbors said.

Police ended the standoff with 32-year-old Todd Bostian around three Friday morning. He came out firing at deputies; a Garland County Sheriff's Department sniper took him out.

"It's a situation that more or less went from bad to worse," Lt. Rodney Neighbors says. "He wouldn't respond to any negotiators or anything, so we just ended up with a bad outcome."

Thirty minutes earlier, 18-year-old Kasey Myers, believed to be Bostian's hostage was shot and killed.

The female homeowner Rhonda Keck is recovering after being shot in the leg. The ordeal shook up the quiet, gated community of Driftwood Estates on Lake Hamilton.

Carolyn Massanelli said she watched the news last night and heard that the suspect, who'd been on a 2 day crime spree, was in Hot Springs.

"Never did it cross my mind that he was in my neighborhood," Massanelli says.

But he was. Bostian parked a stolen lime green Ford Mustang at the house. The Garland County Sheriff's Department says the homeowners knew him. But witnesses inside say they didn't know he was wanted by authorities statewide, until the home was surrounded.

"We were told to stay in our house and keep our doors locked," Massanelli says.

Life saving advice. Hours later, under a hail of gunfire, Bostian and Myers, who'd been used as a human shield, were dead.

"We knew he was armed, that's why our negotiators kept trying to talk him out," Neighbors says. "In fact they would still be out here trying to talk to him, but he's the one that initiated all the action."

Lt. Neighbors says after Myers and the homeowner was shot, a sniper got the green light to take out Bostian, but they don't know if he was armed at that point or not.

Game and Fish were also on the scene.

Bostian, 32, led police on a chase from Sherwood to North Little Rock Wednesday afternoon. Police say Bostian stopped in Malvern Thursday morning and may have been holding two victims hostage. Police confirmed Bostian was spotted at the Wal-Mart parking lot in Malvern around 10 Thursday morning. FOX16 spoke exclusively with U.S. Marshal Robert Howard about their efforts to catch Bostian.

Wednesday night he was believed to be in a silver minivan with a handicapped license plate stolen from a home in North Little Rock. Police say he entered the home and made contact with a woman somehow making sure she couldn't contact authorities.

“When the door to door search was in operation they were knocking on doors and if folks answered the doors, they would make them aware of what was going on and make sure everyone was ok. But if they knocked on the door and no one answered, they had no grounds to break into that house to check into it," Howard said.

"Initially we thought the individual was contained in an area there between McCain mall and I-40. And then it became apparent that the suspect possibly fled the area," Howard tells us.

An all out search Wednesday afternoon led officers, deputies, and marshals away from North Little Rock.

"Later on in the night a possible sighting, actually a confirmed sighting, put him in another location in the Ward area," Howard explained.

That's where investigators say Todd Bostian picked up an 18-year-old Kasey Myers, who was pregnant, forcing her to come with him as he dodged authorities. Thursday morning police say someone spotted Bostian at a Wal-Mart in Malvern.
