Matthew Boyer, Eric Livers Two fugitives from Wyoming are in police custody

Two fugitives from Wyoming are in police custody, one arrested in Exeter and the other as he was about to take a bus to the Sunshine State.
Police tracked Matthew Boyer, 19, to Exeter through the cell phone of a young woman he met at the Fox Run Mall, police said.
His fellow fugitive, Eric Livers, 20, was arrested about noon by two undercover detectives who were waiting for him at a bus kiosk.
Sgt. Frank Warchol explained police had contacted various transportation outlets to make them aware the fugitives may buy tickets to get out of the area.
An employee of a downtown chocolate gourmet shop, he said, called police when Livers bought a bus ticket there. The bus was leaving at noon for Florida, Warchol said, which gave investigators time to have undercover officers pose as travelers waiting for a bus.The detectives were sitting at the bus kiosk when Livers arrived."Hey, how you doing?" the detectives asked before identifying themselves and arresting him.
"For some reason, Portsmouth is a magnet for fugitives," Warchol said. He said that could be because of the availability of buses and the city not being far from Boston.
Livers is expected to appear in Portsmouth District Court this afternoon while Boyer is to be arraigned on a fugitive charge at 10:10 a.m. tomorrow in Exeter District Court.The two men, who police describe as dangerous, are wanted by the Laramie County Sheriff's Department in Cheyenne, Wyo.
The pair walked away from a half-way house and traveled to the Port City to visit Livers' cousin, police said.
Boyer was held in Wyoming on an aid to burglary charge while Livers has a prior weapons charge, specifically, reckless endangerment with weapons, Warchol said.
Police first learned of Livers being in the city on Tuesday. At that time, police did not know that he was traveling with Boyer or that Boyer was wanted as well.
An officer was sent "to scout out the area where the cousin lives" and came across three men. Two of them went back inside a residence.
The officer caught a brief glimpse of them and believed one of them was Livers, Warchol said.
The third man was standing across the street with a young woman. The officer stopped and talked to him but did not detain him. Warchol said the officer wrote down the woman's name and her cell phone number and allowed the couple to leave.
Police later learned Boyer was wanted and realized the man the officer had stopped - who gave him a fake name, date of birth and Social Security number - was Boyer.
"We didn't know he was wanted," Warchol explained.
Investigators contacted Sprint, the woman's cell phone carrier, and using GPS technology, tracked her to an Exeter residence. Exeter police arrested Boyer there.
Prior to their arrests, police said both were seen with two young women who they met at the mall.
