Emde was ultimately located in Georgia after a police chase, motorcycle crash, and giving false name during traffic stop
Emde will now face original charges in North Carolina, plus potential charges for faking death and evading police
Investigation ongoing but no charges filed yet against Emde's son who reported kayaking accident
