"Today, we are expanding our plea for video to all of Robeson County, specifically along Highway 41/Elizabethtown Road and any side streets, especially along Popes Crossing Road, Wire Grass Road, and Lovett Road."
What do these side streets have in common? They are all accessible from the Hwy 74 exit onto Route 41 (Martin Luther King Jr. Drive). Why this exit off 74? The perp drove left (east) out of the trailer park. Why wouldn't he continue away from town going further east on Elizabethtown Road? It is also unlikely that he turned around and drove through town in a stolen car. It seems he may have turned left onto Hornets Road and made his way to Rt 95 south , then onto Rt 74 south. Getting off on the exit for Martin Luther King Jr Drive. A map is attached, showing the trailer park (R), a potential getaway route to the highway exit to 41, the three roads mentioned in blue, and the location of the found SUV. The police may have information that places the SUV at that exit; because they are interested in videos from the side roads leading from the exit. And these side roads all head toward Quincey Drive where the SUV was found. If this route was taken, this indicates someone who knows the area, and headed this route for a reason. Why? He may know a safe area out of the eyesight of the public. In the area of the three roads mentioned, I see one area that stands out- a pond off of Pope Crossing Road (image attached), which has dirt road access and and tree coverage from all directions (noted with an X). I would think this would be a place to look for evidence.
