Police find suspect Steven Stephens in Facebook Live homicide dead in Erie PA

[mpnola]

That bird story is scary. And now there is a snake story. He said in the video he's always been a monster. I'm thinking we might start seeing more and maybe he was able to hide it. We know he stole money from someone at the casino. That murder seemed to bother him zero. I think he's just becoming free enough to let some evil show that has been in there and secretly acted on for a while.

As for the phone number- I posted earlier but things get lost. I saw a video of someone calling it. It is a females voice, but it mentions the company as the company he works for. That's the phone number. No way I woukd call it! Either a. Get caught up in a murder investigation or b. You just gave a murderer your phone number. No thanks.

Heartbreaking. I can't imagine. My Dads about the same age.

FB needs to get rid of FB live. I read about suicides that have streamed over live.

If FB were to remove FB Live the type of people posting that stuff would simply go elsewhere. Instagram has live, there's Periscope, no longer than the actual shooting vid was he could've even used snapchat to do it. Unfortunately I came to terms with criminal and violent acts being broadcast live online a reality of the times 20 years ago thanks to Microsoft Netmeeting.

Nah. Then they'll just choose another platform, and streaming live is just a technology with many good, fun, educational, entertaining etc uses. It's not the technology at fault. People need to not murder.

We had been in a relationship for several years. I am sorry that all of this has happened. My heart & prayers goes out to the family members of the victim(s). Steve really is a nice guy... he is generous with everyone he knows. He was kind and loving to me and my children. This is a very difficult time for me and my family Please respect our privacy at this time.

:what: Why? What does Facebook Live have to do with this case? He didn't even use Facebook Live. And even if a few people do stream their suicides, why would you shut down a service used by millions of people? Maybe you just want to shut down the internet?

So I wonder how long it'll be til they find this guy. I used to not be so cynical, but after BG and NOCO I have to admit I'm not as optimistic about these things as I used to be. I would thiiiink they will find him fast, especially via sm, but who knows. As some have mentioned maybe he's offed himself. And if so, I hate to say it but that's better then harming more innocent people, moo.

I find the "Steve really is a nice guy" part to be in poor taste considering the circumstances, moo.

Sorry, rubs me the wrong way. I do feel for her and it's great she sent her prayers to the family but IMO she should have left that part out about him really being a nice guy. Don't everyone throw stones at me. Moo.

Hi, I've tried to look through so forgive me if I missed anyone talking about this. Stephens is driving a car that's new to him (hence the temp tags). I read he bought it at a dealership in Bedford.

The night before Mr Godwin was killed Trina and Michael Kuznik were shot and killed at a different Cleveland dealership (pretty near where Godwin was murdered). Local Cleveland press just now saying 2 cars and unamed things from office missing (cash?).

My immediate thought was did Stephens look there when shopping for a car, could he have ties to or a grudge against this couple (he has bad credit, maybe he was turned down financing)? I hope they are looking into it.

As of now police say they have no idea and no leads as to who killed the Kuznik's. Seems like it's important to figure out if Stephen's involved as he could have cash and other vehicles if so!

And regarding whether he left Cleveland or not - police confirmed in their press conference yesterday that the last cell phone ping was near Erie, PA. Unless someone else had his phone sounds like he left.

There was little to no urgency in police actions at the start of this (before they knew about Facebook and the publicity). If a cop had been shot instead of an old man I think they would have had all hands on deck and probably would have closed the Turnpike etc found this guy.

I totally agree, earlier was not trying to say I do not think they were doing nothing . but this from moment one has had a peculiarity as far LE ,

WOW WOW

did not follow the car thing. That is amazing, fits the state of mind, explains the car provides funding. I did not know that all of these were in close enough area to be very plausible.

It would also (vehicle change) help vanishing?

I feel hopeful that he will be found. It will take media keeping it in front of citizens and citizens being on the lookout. In the Heather Graham case, JLM had fled from central Virginia and was found over a week later (I think two weeks) in a remote lake area in Texas. A woman happened to sight him and by the grace of God she discreetly got away and contacted law enforcement.

[FONT=&amp]Trina Kuznik agreed to be interviewed by Cleveland TV about break-ins at the car dealership that she and her husband owned. It’s called [/FONT]Mr. Cars, Inc[FONT=&amp].

[/FONT][FONT=&amp]she complained about police response times – took place shortly before the murders, but it hadn’t aired yet, [/FONT]according to News5Cleveland.

corner of Hiller Ave -- what is the relationship between locations? In terms of distances etc.
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]East 185th Street between Hiller and Schenely avenues[/FONT][FONT=&amp]

Lived in Euclid?

[/FONT][FONT=&quot] just after 10 p.m. (anyone know what area his mom lived in) Thinking upset after interaction and went to the dealership?

[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Might also mean accomplices - that could now be helping him - they are all in trouble so he would feel pretty safe in knowing that other won't rat him out - he/they are murderers now as well.

[/FONT]some items missing - odd way to describe this -- food water??[FONT=&amp]

Police say the shootings were targeted and it was planned. Possibly three cars gone.

[/FONT]dealership in Bedford. is that a large dealership more- harder to hit?

Is the purple and gold church in any of these travel distances - just wondering !

Actually would not be surprised if he lingers near a petting zoo or other places where animals are kept.
SS seems to get his kicks out of horrifying and shocking spectators, perhaps more than the actual act of harming a victim.
imo, speculation.

Oh my gosh that's just sadistic. Who does that? Well I guess someone who does the things SS has done, but wow.

It was not live, he uploaded it. Police have confirmed this as fact.

In the video he is talking to the camera as if he was speaking to someone in chat. Can you link me to where LE states it was not live?
