Point Washington Manhunt Over

I am amazed and awed by the superlative reporting from sowallers. This is what a community is all about.

i know it, same here. pretty cool!

hope they get this pucker soon, if he only knew everything that he's caused.:angry: baturd.

i find it disturbing that this guy has gotten away once, twice, how many times now?? I thought at one point he was in a house surrounded...

He's still on the loose? Seriously? Maybe the PW posse should've gone out. Ya'll stay safe over there.

Yeah... quite the slippery li'l pucker ain't he? :angry:

I just got a call from Kurt. He was out in the neighborhood talking to the deputies. They said that the trail has gone cold. Roads are now open. Road blocks are gone. Now the deputies are in their cars patrolling the neighborhoods.

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:

Swafia told me last night that the Sheriff's Dept. has opened a command center at Bay Elem. parking lot. It's been quiet here this morning, just the garbage truck passing thru the neighborhood. My dogs have quieted down since last night.

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?

I sure hope that they tell us something this morning!

Where at organicmama?

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?

Do you know the time when the Husband saw the fugitive?

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.

Let's hope he doesn't hide in a garbage bin and escape in the garbage truck.

Think about that one for a minute.

He is probably long gone. this guy escaped on foot in Texas after robbing a bank, and fled through underground drain pipes, at end of July. How and why he ended up here, I would like to know. He probably does not know the area.. but he's still managing to lay very low.

haha!...not in Point Washington...

Oops

How exactly do you escape from Point Washington? Do you meant tell me that a single Texas redneck outsmarted all of Walton Co's finest in their own backyard? Doubtful. But if so, embarrasing.

I'm sorry for the pressure that the WCSO deputies must have been under not to shoot the suspect as he fled. Attempted murder of a police officer should allow for the suspect to be shot in the back and then scalped.

were your dogs acting strangely last night, too? Something was really upsetting my girl. She was so restless; kept getting out of her bed and going to the door. Freaked me out a couple of times. I had this place lit up like a Christmas tree. Weird how our pups can sense something like that.

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 quick 411 search shows he may have lived in Clearwater Florida at some point, or at least has relatives that do.

Not surprising he is from Clearwater area. Although I have seen a post about illegal immigrants from Mexico, his name is actually Greek. Clearwater has a large Greek population.

I think he holed up last night somewhere and waited for dark to move again. It's gonna be hard to get him now.

So... is it over?:shock:

can i come out now? lol....

Hubby just went up to Bay where they were camped out....
and there isn't a cop in sight...
does anybody see any activity where you are?

I am off of E. Mitchell and occasionally see a patrol car go by. I stayed at a friends house across the bay last night. At 6:30 this morning I saw one officer on McDaniels fish camp. I counted 9 Officers i passed heading north between 3280 and the bridge. I know one thing my 'hood is a ghost town today very few people at home before 7am.
