The deal is, this guy took ph from some party in Brighton and buried her.

That’s one hell of a party.

I feel that he is dangerous, and should have been kept under surveillance. Makes me think something came to light today that made him more interesting than he had been initially. MOO.

Did LE release any details about this suspect other than a headshot? Tattoos, scars, possible car make and model, last time seen by family and friends, clothing? Did he pack a suitcase and make a run for it? Any specific characteristics, mannerisms, or type of places he is known to enjoy or hang around? Another, key factor, if they believe he has connections to harbor him, or suspect he may be at a roadside motel, or more likely to attempt to blend in with the transient, all this could help in capturing a suspect at large.

Not in the presser or the one that I watched.

Thanks. Snipped from the link

“We would hope he would turn himself in. That would be best for everyone.”

Prisons are a big money maker for States.

How do states make money on prisons? Who pays the state and for what?

I only meant that as a statement of Fact. Unfortunate but true. In no way did I say it was a celebratory event, Sir. Thanks.

Free labor, making state license plates and so forth, is my guess. I understand that private prisons? are looked at as having more potential to possibly be reason to plant drugs and arrest, or other ways of framing an innocent person, because the big money investors make profit from a higher inmate population.

Jefferson County Alabama ... do not move here.

I just want them to get this guy...

They don’t. Alabama spends close to half a billion dollars a year on prisons.

They can offset some of it by work programs, but I imagine it adds up to pennies on the dollar.

It’s private prison corporations that make the profit, but that doesn’t benefit the state. I don’t think they have a big foothold in Alabama anyways.

I understand all criminals vary with their intelligence. A great example would be a bank robber showing his real ID when asked by teller, before robbing the bank. After mentioning this, usually a man that has done hard time has learned street smarts. Why choose that area which could be connected directly to him and not in the middle of woods, deep woods? If I were afraid of an arrest or being tied to a dead body even if it was an OD, with no other crimes committed, I would not bury a victim anywhere that could remotely be traced back to myself.

But reading your posts you are smarter than most criminals.

I feel sure one of the family members will have his a$$ found and in custody in short order.

As a prior addict, I "think" she went willingly. My sense of judgement would go out the window after a drink or two. Been to some bad places with bad people. I do hope this guy turns himself in...I can kind of see him panicking about returning to prison after spending 20 years there and burying her instead. Also, people can get super strong under the influence, but I think he had at least one other person help.
I don't think he will turn himself in, not after spending 20, and the prospect of more/death if he was found to have supplied her.

He may have had previously died hair possibly at 50. By now, it is possible he has grown a full beard, facial hair, unkempt hair, and be natural, graying. He may not resemble the picture released at all, imo.

There is a big push to lessen the prison population. jmo

Lol, thank you, I think.

This not my area and I agree, but have heard opposite consensus as to one type or the other, being profitable, and also expensive. That said, it made me wonder just now if the taxpayers eat the costs, thus making a profit potentially for the state, plus fines, etc.

Maybe they've been watching him and he slipped away yesterday, forced them to do the presser. As long as they knew where he was and under watch it was okay while working on future arrests or needed evidence.

The States get BIG money for housing Federal inmates. The feds pay for that. The food is atrocious, so the inmates that have family mostly eat out of the commissary. They overcharge for everything in there. If the inmate doesn't have fa.ily or financial support he will do alot of different things for money. The staff is perpetually understaffed and underpaid. In my 16 years there.I received 1 pay raise of 3 %. That is just ways the States make money off the top of my head. I he inmates also make goods, like furniture and other stuff ( and of good quality) which the State sells. Pure profit except for supplies. No labor costs.
