It wasn't where he was last seen ,according to the articles ,he was dropped off near Howard, the 2 drivers were spoken with one , family member dropped him in Stafford, and a second driver (so the article indicates) , the ATM has images all of them do .Plus they know his phone pinged near campus. It hasn't been released if they have him on them the ATM cam . I just asked about isis because of the news reporting on Isis having people in VA and DC yesterday and the timing of this case.
The thing I thought was odd about Stafford LE is the fact they know where the phone pinged from so early and seem to be on top of things that don't get done that fast . Another example is the ATM info being released already. This is not normal for Stafford county. That is all I meant by odd. I mean most people return home in a day or so and Stafford normally waits and watches it all work out so this is different ,they jumped in with both feet. IMO . Like you said he had a lot of stress,new baby, school. Seems like it a guy who might need a day or two,but Stafford LE does seem to think so.Why?
The gun issue is concerning because he legally couldn't carry it to the place he was headed, we don't even know if he has a permit at all but they don't issue permits for guns on campus and his VA permit wouldn't allow for the concealment of a weapon in DC. Open carry wouldn't work for the campus. I know DC changed some gun laws but it still appears all the laws couldn't be being followed.
