GUILTY NJ - Dustin Friedland, 30, killed in carjacking, Short Hills, 15 Dec 2013

[bwt42]

The police ask for the publics help, but don't give a description of the perps. They got to be kidding.

 

[wendiesan]

LE may be hoping that the perps will chatter. It there's a reward, the hope may be that someone with big ears will pass on the information if s/he can be anonymous.

"Manhunt intensifies for two involved in New Jersey mall carjacking"

This is my mall, the one I go to shop at when I need something. My son works there as well. He left work at 9:00pm last night. Thankfully he wasn't there when this happened. I always felt safe there. Security was always visable, but I guess they can't be everywhere.

Such a tragedy. This young man was senselessly killed for his "things". There seems to be a "jealousy" issue at work. If I can't have it neither can you seems to be the new thing for those who refuse to work for a living.

I often shop at the Short Hills Mall and the Livingston Mall too. Yes, it's an upscale mall but I don't think the parking lot security is all the great. Hey they spend a ton of money to pipe in Raptor music to scare the pigeons and I think that money could have and should have been used to upgrade security measures.

BTW) I read about another carjacking that happen in South Orange just 2 hours prior to the one at Short Hill. The victim was parking his car in front of his house when 3 black thugs wearing masks ordered him out of his car at gunpoint. This victim's car was a gray Land Rover, Friedland's car was a gray Range Rover.

So very sad, so very senseless. I wish I could move out of NJ.

You bring up some very good points and I wish I had an answer for them.

Surely there were cameras in the parking lot?? The mall has very high-end stores. Wouldn't they have tighter security than the run of the mill malls where I shop. :blushing:

Yes, they have cameras in the parking lot but I don't think they're very high quality. From what I read, they're very grainy and not much can be deduced from them. I also hope they are checking all the street light cameras.

I bet these thugs fingerprints and DNA's are in the car. I'll also bet they have long criminal records. I pray they are caught soon before anyone else is hurt or killed.

I know! How many cases do we hear the video was too grainy??:banghead::banghead: I bet we could make a long list of cases that could have been solved had the video been sharp.

I wonder if they were wearing gloves?

If this is supposed to be an upmarket shopping mall you would expect them to have upmarket surveillance and security. Proper cameras that don't show grainy images is what is needed. If people stop shopping there they may invest in something more reliable.

The reward is now over $40,000 so I hope someone talks.

I would guess his wife is fearful for her life. She was a witness to the horror of seeing her husband murdered. They don't know how much she saw and if she could identify them. There are pictures of their apartment online in news articles. Surely she isn't staying there now. They even showed inside where their door bell is. I'm not providing the link because I think it is a bad idea that the media disclosed their address.

 

[wendiesan]

I agree. That's an incredibly thoughtless move to identify the home of the sole witness to a murder.

Ita. The media showing their apt was thoughtless. I thought LE would have arrested them by now. But I think they will solve this case.

ITA. The MSM seems to never have any problem violating the privacy of victims, their families or witnesses. But when it comes to perps or suspects, the PC press gives them full protection. This is soooo sickening.

Now that the location of her apartment has been made public, she is potentially at greater risk as well as other tenants in the building. I am so mad this info was released.

I'll be calling Governor Christie office today. To my knowledge he has not commented or held any press conferances regarding this murder. In part, I blame the absurd NJ gun control laws which I'm told are the 3rd worst in the country.

bbm, I was just saying the other day that it baffles my mind that when ever we are shown a video clip of some sort and asked for help in ID'ing an individual the image is so bad yet from a satellite in space a license plate can be read. really?

bbm, This is pathetic to see, unless it's a set up for the suspects and she is not at that location.

"4 in custody in deadly NJ carjacking; lawyer was killed in front of his wife"

http://nypost.com/2013/12/21/four-arrested-in-deadly-nj-mall-carjacking/

“We have four in custody,” said Katherine Carter, spokeswoman for Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray, in an email to The Post."

"She would not provide details or elaborate, but said the office would have a news conference Saturday at 9 a.m. in Newark to announce the arrests."

Because they were trying to escape so fast they could have hit something on the way out.
Or they got made because they had to ditch the car and damaged it on purpose.
Sounds like the victim resisted because his wife was already in the car. I am sure he didn't want to give up the keys with his wife being inside the car.

Did they leave the car in a rough area? If so they probably wanted it to be broken into so there would be more fingerprints and damage.

I don't see them driving a car that had the back window shot out through, not after a murder. That would be a bit too obvious.

 

[Sonya610]

Hey they spend a ton of money to pipe in Raptor music to scare the pigeons and I think that money could have and should have been used to upgrade security measures.

Actually those sound systems can and often are used as covert security too!

If gang bangers and certain other undesirables start loitering around the mall piping in classical music will act as a repellant and they will avoid the area. No joke it works and some establishments use it.

 

[Marg from Oz]

I hope the charges stick. Wonder if someone is claiming the reward money. I believe it was quite a sizeable amount.

 

[Really?]

The reward money was over 4o grand.....it didn't take long for someone to turn somebody in.
:moo:
