Police have filed kidnapping charges against the wife of a man suspected of killing a Tennessee woman and her oldest daughter and kidnapping the woman's two youngest daughters.

As a SWAT team closed in, a fugitive accused of killing a Tennessee mother and daughter before disappearing with her two other children killed himself, allowing authorities to safely recover the kidnapped girls, police said.

Authorities say two girls abducted from their Tennessee home told police officers who rescued them that they went three days without food or water.
