Does anyone have any information on why they were searching for him in Rosemary/Inlet Beach? Did someone report seeing him there? I still don't understand that turn of events...

Well, that just sucks. There's no telling where he is now. I wonder sometimes how, with so many resources, a fugitive still manages to be a fugitive. :angry:
are they still out there this morning? and have they said whether or not they will cont the search?
a friend told me her husband saw a man fitting the discription exactly running east down 98 before the cops started camping out on 30A/98. he called the cops, they think he's long gone! (finger's crossed)

If he managed to get out of that, he must have had outside help. I imagine he had a cellphone on him and called someone who came and miraculously picked him up during the chaos. Either that, or he found a comfy bolt hole in the woods for the night and he is trying to wait things out? Regardless, please stay safe everyone! 
Talked to Sheriff's office at 6:30 am. Said they have not had an update all night.........
Do you know the time when the Husband saw the fugitive?
Fishfood, it was over on the west end of 30-A, near Topsail. It sounded far-off. One of our daughters heard it too. Didn't hear anything for the rest of the night and no cops, etc. over in our neighborhood at all.
Fugitive Fled on Foot?
He saw the fugitive running east bound on 98 yesterday around 3:45 on his way to work at Caliza. It was between 30A and inlet bch.... He called the police and told them. That was before all the cops were camped out at 30A/98.

Crazy stuff. I opined to BDarg last night that maybe the guy hid under a dock on the bay and when the sun went low he swam (walked) across to the north end. A bay front house by the Modica's was the last place he was seen, right?
I thought the same thing. He could swim over to Devil's Pointe and no one would be looking for him over there. It is only a short swim across the Intracoastal. With so many cops after him, he may not be running at all. He may be bunkered down, not moving for three-four days, waiting for the heat to cool off. He will have to eat, and that will eventually drive him out if he is bunkered down. His adrenaline is probably still pumping too much right now to think about food.
Let's hope he doesn't hide in a garbage bin and escape in the garbage truck. Today is garbage pick up day in Pt Washington.
Inlet Beach is reported to be a different incident from this one, though there was a bit of drama over there.
