What happened

How difficult terrain and military training could complicate the manhunt for a Tennessee suspect By Emma Tucker, Dianne Gallagher, Holly Yan, CNN (CNN) — Editor’s note: The manhunt for Craig Berry ended when his body was found, the Stewart County Sheriff’s…

Why it matters

A terrain of steep hills and deep ravines — and a suspect with extensive Army survival training — are complicating a manhunt in Tennessee for a man accused of shooting his wife.

Common ground

Craig Berry, 53, has been on the run since early Friday after investigators say he shot his wife in Dover, Tennessee, near the Kentucky border.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
