CHULUOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — A man who was on the run for stabbing his estranged girlfriend “up to 70 times,” died in a crash while fleeing authorities, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said.

Around 12:45 a.m. on Friday, deputies responded to a home in the 2600 block of Hibbard Trail in Chuluota after receiving a call that two people were stabbed.

A woman, identified as 40-year-old Kristin Stevens, was found dead with multiple stab wounds. Stevens was stabbed “20, 30— up to 70 times” with an apparent kitchen knife, according to Sheriff Dennis Lemma.

The second victim, an unidentified man, told officials that the suspect, 42-year-old James Christopher Lindsey, used a hammer to smash the glass and break into the home. He awoke to Lindsey on top of the woman, appearing to stab her with a knife.

The man tried to kick Lindsey off of Stevens but was stabbed in the upper leg. He fled to a neighbor’s house to call 911. Their 16-year-old son was also in the home and was not injured.

Lindsey fled before authorities arrived.

Around 5 a.m., Lindsey was found dead after crashing in the Orange County area of Fort Christmas Road. Deputies said he lost control of his vehicle while traveling at speeds over 100 mph and was ejected from the car. The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating this crash.

Lindsey and Stevens were reportedly in a “domestic partnership” with a history of domestic violence incidents involving law enforcement, dating back to 2014. On Nov. 6, Lindsey was charged with domestic violence battery against Stevens and was requested to be placed on Domestic Violence GPS monitoring and to have his bond increased.

“This is a heartbreaking and traumatic incident that will have a lasting impact on families and a community,” Sheriff Lemma said. “I am proud of our deputies’ quick response to the scene and our detectives who have been working around the clock to put these cases together. Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Our team will continue to work diligently to uncover the full details surrounding this case.”
