BBMI had that same thought about him being a blackjack dealer and wanting to get out of town. I wonder if he had been planning this and had acquired fake ID that he was using in Va.
Also wouldn't the casino have vetted him before hiring him as a dealer? Which I would think would at least include fingerprints. A previous poster mentioned that he had no fingerprints on file. Although I suppose that even if the casinos did a background check they may no longer have his fingerprints available.
I would be shocked if a casino did not have fingerprints on file for awhile. When I worked for an accounting department in 2000 I was required to get cleared by the Dept. of Justice (or something I can't remember). I think all casinos would have a background check, fingerprints, credit check, etc. on file for quite a while.
I think the decedents eyes are too far apart to be Belnap, but, I will call it in today.
I wanted to ask other questions to the VBPD: anyone have suggestions on what to ask?
I know it is too late, but I wonder if his hands were dirty or work roughened? Like, he had been working nearby painting or cleaning.
I'm on the fence whether it is Belnap. Yesterday I actually found a few missing people from Canada that looked pretty close. From the angle of the picture it is hard to judge- but the eyebrows seem off a bit. Hope I am wrong!
