Witnesses told investigators Addison had been living with his girlfriend in Mt. Oliver. Around 10 a.m. Wednesday, deputies, U.S. marshals and FBI agents surrounded the home on Margaret Street and used loudspeakers to talk with people inside. Three people emerged: Addison’s girlfriend, Noel Haten, 23; Jacob Haten, 20; and Emily Kosko, 22. They told police Addison was not inside. After an hourlong search of the home, deputies said they found Addison trying to hide behind a wall in the attic.
