Juanita Lynn Liebman was wanted for her involvement in a robbery turned homicide that occurred on October, 22, 2007, at the Daytona Shore Inn in Daytona Beach, Florida. Liebman was captured, in Ararat, Virginia by the U.S. Marshals Blue Ridge Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (BRFAST) task force and Patrick County Sheriff's deputies.

Juanita Liebman makes the last suspect to be arrested in the robbery and murder of James Earl Mason, 36, of Morristown, Tennessee.

Mason, fell into a coma and was on life support at Halifax Medical Center until he died five days later. Meanwhile, subsequent police investigation determined Jason Bowman was in the company of William McMinn and Juanita Lynn Liebman the day of Mason's robbery. Liebman was linked to the robbery through a surveillance video from a pawnshop in Holly Hill, Florida. The videotape showed Liebman with Jason Bowman as they pawned a stolen video camera from the motel. 
On October 25, 2007, Jason Bowman, 31, was arrested in a routine traffic stop in Pecos County, Texas. During his arrest, police mistakenly arrested Bowman's sister as the wanted female in Mason's robbery. Pecos County Sheriff's deputies had also found Juanita Lynn Liebman with Jason Bowman in Texas, but apparently released her after taking her photo. By the time authorities realized they had apprehended the wrong woman, Liebman had fled the state. Notice the mark on Liebman's neck in the side profile?
