FL - Manhunt in Tampa after 4 slayings in 5 weeks, Oct-Nov 2017 #1

Of he's still on a spree, he's going to likely shift his grounds some so as to avoid the increased heat. Neighborhood not too close but not too far...moo.

My husband and I are thinking he walks like he's been in the service or still is.

I have seen a superhero who had major back surgery years ago and now has a very unique posture and gait as a result.

I've heard a lot of people coming to the conclusion that this appears to be the work of a young man. Any chance there is a correlation between this and the recent outrage over Floridas treatment of juveniles in detention. They have a long history of young men, teens, dying while in the hands of the juvenile Justice system. A lot of this came to a head at the beginning of October with new publicized details of the "Fight Club" investigation. NAACP got involved, and has become quite a black eye for the state. The fact the Dept of Juvenile Justice falls almost smack dab in the middle of all 4 murders spiked my curiosity over the possible motive.

Are there any business locations close by which would be closed at night, yet perhaps would be a good location for him to hide in if he had access to the buildings? It would be like hiding in plain sight, and not an area that would cause LE to look closely if it remained dark. Just a thought...

it looks like there is a motel right on the outskirts of "killing square" only blocks away. It's right along highway as well. I was thinking this could be used as somewhere he could utilize either before or after the murders, checking in under false name from a neighboring community, staying a night , or using as cover in some way.

no one i recognize.

the whole area is on high alert. every car that drives by that i don't recognize i look at closely. every person walking down the street gets a second look. it isn't just me. its all of us. my neighbor won't even take his dog for a walk without brining his gun.

i still have no idea how this person hasn't been caught. there has been an EXTREME police presence the last few weeks. bike cops. un marked cars. marked cars. cops on horses. officers going door to door speaking to residents. they asked us who lived in our house. if we owned a gun. where did we work. when do we come and go from the house. the fbi has been around. how does this person keep getting away??

What age person do you think would know the neighborhood back alleys? It seems to me kids know everything so maybe he was a kid growing up there. But maybe all ages know their way around.

Escape path from the murder of Benjamin Mitchell on Oct 9th was west bound then a sharp right going north toward Highway 45. Escape path from murder of Ronald Felton on November 14th was eastbound on McBerry. I would bet he made a sharp left to head north on N 12th Street. Am so hoping folks who live on McBerry and N 12th turn in all video to LE.

Here a few other shootings that happened nearby: The one near E Columbus and 18th was also on Nov 14th which is same date as the murder of Ronald Felton.

Information on other nearby shootings was found at:

The info in the maps that I posted above has already timed out (exceeded 72 hours old) but I check this "Last 72 Hour" site out pretty regularly.

 

[tomvansac]

This is a map with local high schools, the Hard Rock casino and some roads that have been discussed for general reference:

 

[tomvansac]

The last leg of the escape path taken after the murder of Benjamin Mitchell is just 206 yards from E Frierson to Hwy 41. Just an observation: A well trained sprinter could run it in under 23 seconds.

For the 4th and latest incident , I wonder if the eventual route was again a sharp turn northward toward 41 down 12th or again 13th. it would appear to me as either a local like the police have suspected or something similar to the DC Sniper killings where he is quickly able to use highway 41 as an exit. Maybe someone is assisting w a car ready. In moo If he is not a local of the neighborhood, then he's not doing this alone.

With the police and SWAT presence around town, how long could one conceivably walk around dressed as the perp before being questioned. He is either masterful at remaining hidden until he strikes, or he's in and he's out. On the highway in a mere minute or two after striking.

one last map to clarify location of local schools:

You have a good point. Plus, there's a car lot right at the intersection of Hwy 41 and N 12th. Could be a handy place to park a car without it being noticed.

One reason that I am leaning against the “superhero” as a suspect is that he has already been turned into the police a week ago. I feel as if he would have been arrested by now if it was him.

MOO

tomvansac - I love these maps showing the escape routes. Thank you!

have they definitively stated that the same gun was used in all 4?

 

[neotec]

AN's parents say they know who the killer is and he lives on 15th street

it would almost seem like if that was the plan why not do it closer to escape route??
