Russell, 21, first gained public attention when he was found at the scene of a double murder on May 19. But one item - a skull mask - holds a deeper significance. According to court filings cited in a report by CBS News, the contents of the vehicle that Russell was driving included two rifles, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and binoculars.
