Here is a news video about the history of serial killers in Tampa Bay: http://www.wtsp.com/news/crime/examining-the-history-of-tampa-bays-serial-killers/485860069
WitnessWho was yelling back door, back door, the witness or the victim?
You need probable cause to make an arrest. No they cannot just hold someone for questioning for long periods. They can bring them in to question them, yes. But if they envoke their right to an attorney, then questioning is pretty much over. Probable cause is going to be key. So a positive witness ID backed up with person or photo line up, or some other evidence to suggest the person is more likely than not to have been involved under a reasonable persons viewI know this has probably been discussed before but does everyone agree that his/her (but I think it is a he) face is covered up to over his nose as he is walking to the crime? I wish we could get clearer video of his face. The police probably do have clearer video. I wonder how police go about making an arrest where a witness calls it in or they have video of what appears to be that person. Are they allowed to bring them to the station and question them to no end or do they need more proof. Anyone here in LE that can shed some light on the type of proof they need to make an arrest?

This is a link to the composite sketch in the case of dontae lampkins murder. I know criminals wearing hoodies is not an uncommon thing but nevertheless i thought it was relevant considering the circumstances.

Victim #3 was openly gay, vic #2 and #1 were not that I know of, however they were both big LGBT supporters as they have close relatives who are.That's so sad to watch that video, knowing that young man will be murdered shortly after. Of course it's devastating to think about all of the victims (whether related or not), but actually seeing someone really brings it home.
Thanks for posting a link to the map.
Were any of the more recent victims gay? It seems like a fairly broad mix of victims, although they are all relatively young.
Interesting. How about single? I'm sure it says it somewhere in this thread, but I can't track it down right now. But if the perp is luring people in using a dating app, some of the more common apps allow you to view potential male dates, female dates, or both.Victim #3 was openly gay, vic #2 and #1 were not that I know of, however they were both big LGBT supporters as they have close relatives who are.

I agree, an app is something I mentioned earlier before i had read about dontae. All 3 vics changed their routine last minute. #1 came home only to leave again minutes later, #2 was supposed to be waiting at her house for a ride but ended up a block away for some reason and #3 they say took the wrong bus and was getting off to take the #9 but his stepmother said he chose to walk instead of taking that second bus for some reasonInteresting.

Could it be that the perp set it to both and was simply meeting with people deemed vulnerable or easily persuaded to go to a less public area?
I feel the police must have a bit more info about this dating app theory.

I wonder about this too.Things seem to be quiet in the media regarding the shooter, could LE have him/her in their cross hairs?
imo, speculation

I'm confused, are you referring to the "composite drawing" from the Dontae Lampkins murder in January? Or is there an e-fit image released for the individual seen on the surveillance video around the time of Benjamin Mitchell's murder? TIA.I wonder about this too.
The e-fit is what makes me question it; to distinguish those features from the released CCTV footage seems unlikely.
It also doesn't make sense to me that LE have unreleased footage of the suspect's face, as some have theorised.
If they do have footage of the perp's face, why are they releasing an e-fit, why not release the actual video where you can see him (...or her)?

Papa John's Pizza not delivering in Southeast Seminole Heights because of the murders. However, they are offering Southeast Seminole Heights customers 50% off pick up orders. Heights Pizza on Florida Avenue continues to deliver in Seminole Heights, free delivery.http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/r...impacting-food-deliveries-in-seminole-heights

Whiskers16 it turns out the friend connection you found between BM and AN on fb (posted earlier) is also a common person to MH according to her fb. We missed it before bc the person uses a slightly different version of name.Not much to see here but I did check for mutual facebook friends between the victims also. Of course they can certainly have friends that aren't on their fb.
