CHARLOTTE COUNTY - A fugitive wanted on charges of murdering three men in Virginia was arrested in Punta Gorda late Saturday.
Several Charlotte County Sheriff’s patrols, a K-9 unit, the U.S. Marshalls Service Fugitive Task Force, and a helicopter patrol swarmed a house at 27457 Tierra Del Fuego Circle in Punta Gorda Isles around 8 p.m. and arrested Frederick Phillip Hammer, 48, of Crumpler, N.C.
Hammer was arrested and charged with the murder of Ronald F. Hudler, 74, one of Virginia’s largest Christmas tree growers; his son, Frederick D. Hudler, 45, and John S. Miller, a 25-year-old employee. All three were shot on Hudler’s property at Mouth of Wilson, near the North Carolina border.
On Thursday, Virginia police found the bodies of the three men after responding to a call about a possible shooting at the Hudler tree farm. They questioned Hammer and he disappeared a short time later.
Law enforcement officials have said attempted robbery apparently led to the triple homicide.
The younger Hudler and Miller apparently had been working on the tree farm and returned to Ronald Hudler’s home, where they confronted a suspect in the garage trying to steal a gun safe, the Grayson County Sheriff’s office said in a release. Hudler and Miller were fatally shot.
Ronald Hudler, who often kept large amounts of money in the safe, was shot and killed when he came outside to investigate the gunfire, authorities said. Hudler, who once provided the White House with a Christmas tree, was well known in that area.
Police found Hammer at the home of John Frohmander, 75, who has lived at the Punta Gorda Isles home at least part time since March 2006. Both Hammer and Frohmander live in Ashe County, N.C. and both once lived in Marathon, Florida in the late 1980s.
In a telephone interview Sunday, Frohnmander said he was “somewhat” related to Hammer.
“I’d rather not talk about it,” Frohmander said before hanging up.
Charlotte County police had received a bulletin earlier in the day that Hammer might be at Frohmander’s house. They went to the house at 5 p.m. and returned later when they did not find Hammer the first time.
Hammer remains in the Charlotte County jail.
