Point Washington Manhunt Over

[Dave Rauschkolb]

I would predict if he is smart, he has broken into an empty home or took a homeowner hostage to stay out of sight for a few days. There are a lot of empty homes even in Point Washington. If he is in a secure place out of sight he could hole up for several days before making a move. How long will the police keep this much attention on PW?

It is not embarrassing at all. If he had any training or instruction in escape and evasion it is quite possible to avoid capture. You just have to know how to do it. By the same token, those doing the searching have to know how to do it without alerting the hunted they are there.

A bit scary having him roam around and not knowing where he is.

Without a doubt, RbSoWal!! He'll make a mistake soon and they'll catch him, I'm hoping.

The longer this lasts the more uneasy I get. Unless he does have military background training he is going to be getting pretty desperate soon. He's been on the run for 1month since the TX robbery and has now been presumably in the forest for 24 hrs now!

I was thinking this as well.. many empty homes all around. I am sure the police have all this taken into consideration - who knows what is really going on? the sheriff's updates contain no new information - and I'm sure they don't want to release pertinent info while the search remains in progress.

I hope the cops will stay as long as necessary. Just knowing they are nearby, guarding the hood, is a comfort.

Almost makes you think he knows someone who lives in the PT. Washington area???? Just speculating!!

If he is still around here I think I'll try luring him in. He needs water, food, and transportation, right? How 'bout I leave a pile of grilled cheese sandwiches, a case of water, a 12 pack of ice cold beer, AND the kayak at the end of my dock.

Umm, will need backup from SO & PT Washington Posse on the capture however!

Maybe leave some ouzo and baklava??

Drill a hole in the bottom of the kayak where he can't see it and call the WCSO as you watch him sink!

So I know several residents got automated calls on their house phones yesterday from WCSO. I don't have a house phone... and I know I'm not the only one... does anyone know if there is a way I could register my cell number with WCSO?

This has been like a hurricane spinning just off shore. Evacuate, come back but with caution, oh ok come back nothing will happen OH WAIT, maybe you should put the storm shutters back up.

Yesterday was ChefEd's birthday and we had invited some folks over to celebrate but I guess the prospect of being stopped, interrogated and searched by several heavily armed Law Enforcement Officials on the way home from a birthday party caused everyone to reconsider. Well that and the fact that they would never have been allowed in to the neighborhood.
Does this mean he didn't really turn 40 yesterday?
