ME - Lewiston, Mass Shooting, Multiple Scenes - Oct 2023

Maybe the LE left as a ruse, make him think they were done searching....watched the house from above with drones? Moo

Armored SWAT vehicle approaching house.

Edit: appears SWAT is about to ram the house he suspected to be in.

 

[Lore Listener]

Lots of vehicle movement happening in the driveway, per ABC New livestream.

LETTER CONFIRMED TO BE FROM RC TO HIS SON--like a suicide note. Again, ABC News.

And weren't the cops all over his house executing a search warrant? How would he have even got past all of them to reenter his house? Confused ...

Someone mentioned he may have been hiding in the woods, then came back to the house after they left. The area around there is heavily forested, lots of woods to hide in.

I think I read that the house is on a lot of land with woods, so possibly hiding out until they were gone?
I'm still stunned that he may have gone back home after everything that has happened.

Flightradar24.com shows a helicopter circling over a rural road. I hope he's taken alive, too.

A son? Poor kid.

I read somewhere (can't even remember where now) that his son had just graduated HS this year.
Can't imagine what the young man is going through.

 

[Lore Listener]

Now ABC News anchor reporting the letter is definitely a suicide note, containing ranting (not confirmed to be related to possible motive--motive not ascertained yet) and person info like bank account #s.

ETA: talking a lot now whether he could be dead in there--just anchor and expert speculation.

Didn’t realize drone is overhead of house, for just a split second mind went to UFO.

Edit- wasn’t aware of just how bright some drones are, mine is nothing near that bright.

Really good low-light video.

Saw something in or near the home. The home has been under surveillance during the day.

Cameras are able to let in more light so it probably isn't as bright as it appears.

Unless he had a plan to commit suicide there, swiftly.

Our worst mass shooter here in Canada was organized and completely evil, but experts said the act of the shootings was also motivated by complete despair. A suicide mission whether he could see it at the time or not.

That makes sense. The live news stream I’m watching is stating LE has requested media to cut off their lights.

I’m watching Scripps News.

Maine mass murderer Robert Card is deer hunter who 'could be anywhere'

Robert Card, accused of carrying out the worst mass shooting in the United States this year, remained on the run the early hours of Friday. The FBI encircled a Card family home earlier.

A standoff was taking place at a Bowdoin, Maine property on Thursday believed to be connected to Lewiston shooting suspect Robert Card.
Emphasis mine.

His house or a relatives' place ?
Omo.

 

[Lexiintoronto]

Reporter on CNN says Dept of Public Safety spokesperson says they're not sure he is in the house, they are just doing "due diligence".

As they should.

ETA: Spelling

Maine police have just issued a statement confirming what you posted.

How awful if RC has a child.
To do this to his family.
Wonder if his relatives had tried to warn anyone , and still it wasn't enough to stop RC ?
Omo.

I hope LE is very, very careful. He could have bombs in the home and set them off when cops burst in.
This man's rage might still be present.
