After Stephens’ initial erratic display of violence, which he filmed and posted to Facebook, the disturbed man posted a series of Facebook live streams in which Stephens said he had ‘a lot of built up anger’ and claimed he ‘just snapped’.

Police had been conducting an extensive manhunt across the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan as Stephens was wanted on charges of aggravated murder.

In further alarming videos posted publicly, Stephens allegedly claimed to have killed 13 people and said himself to be ‘working on 14’.
