Data center CEO taken into custody on Pa. turnpike after police say he fatally shot his wife

Just hours after police said he killed his wife, the CEO of a data center consulting firm was arrested in Pennsylvania.

At 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, Pennsylvania State Police observed Roger Paul Allen Bradford, 60, driving westbound on the turnpike in a black Kia Sportage. According to a PSP report, dispatch in Highspire notified officials that Bradford was wanted for homicide in Virginia.

State police from the Everett barracks stood at mile marker 154.2 and watched Bradford pass by. Police claim they then initiated a “high-risk” driving check, eventually arresting Bradford near mile marker 141.5 in Snake Spring Township.

According to police, Bradford, a Lancaster County resident, was captured without incident and is being held in Bedford County Jail.

According to Fox5, around noon on the same day, authorities in Virginia discovered Paul’s wife, Lisa Bradford, 54, shot and killed in the couple’s house in northern Virginia.

A former Maxim Analytics executive told Fox5 that the CEO closed the company on September 4 due to “personal, health-related issues.” Roger has served as CEO of Maxim Analytics since 2015, according to his LinkedIn site.

The former executive stated that they and their coworkers were never concerned about the couple’s relationship. According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, there was no evidence of prior domestic violence.

According to court documents, Roger was denied bail and is awaiting his extradition hearing on September 25.
