The victim in the Friday night homicide in Cambridge has been identified as 47-year-old Robert C. “Chris” Caples.
Caples was the director of the Thompkin’s Center Juvenile Residential Facility located on North 18th Street in Cambridge.
Guernsey County Coroner, Dr. Janet Brockwell, released the body from the scene and ordered an autopsy to be conducted in Licking County, to determine the cause of death.
The suspect in the homicide was identified quickly and his identity, along with the description of the victim’s vehicle, was announced to surrounding law enforcement agencies.
Sgt. Matt McCulley, Muskingum County Deputy, located the victim’s stolen vehicle parked in the Baker’s Motel parking lot. Officers from Cambridge P.D., Ohio Highway Patrol and Muskingum County Sherriff’s Office arrived on scene to assist Sgt. McCulley.
The suspect was taken into custody without incident.
The suspect is being held in the Guernsey County Jail while the case is under investigation.
All evidence collected will be presented to Prosecutor Daniel G. Padden for consideration of charges.
The identity of the suspect will not be released until formal charges have been filed.
