Looking at maps and there are so many tree lines and patches of woods for him to hide.

There sure are. And the meadow gardens in the NE section of Longwood will be lush and tall right now. Like a cornfield. Easy for someone to lie down in and go unnoticed.

I am not getting anything of use from the scanner.

I think it is all routine.

I imagine the "control center" is on a freq not covered by the scanner feed.

Just my thoughts.

Agree

Edit I’m trying to pull up flight data but getting notification that server not available so it may also be my service- Hurricane damaged our one and only cell tower.

Always keep doors locked. One thing about inmate work crews, if they mess up on the job, they can be transferred back to the higher security prison, and the daily rate they can earn is much better for work release vs inhouse obs. That inmate will have consequences.

My doors automatically lock but I’ll be more observant. Not sure of his intentions and maybe he did think he recognized me but he crossed the line trying to open my door. I was boxed in by work vehicles so couldn’t move my Jeep in any direction. The County Sheriff just sent text message he would like to talk with me later today, he’s close friend of my Cousin who I can only guess called him- small town, news travels fast.

The NBC 10 chopper is now hovering NW of the Gardens. One of the other two is circling the whole place and the other is back over the NW corner. UGH I hope they have not lost him!!!

A 4th helicopter is incoming.

I think it is another media helicopter but unsure at the moment.

Just my thoughts.

A third TV helicopter looks to be inbound from Philly. This one is ABC6.

So the count is 2 LE and soon-to-be 3 TV helicopters.

Based on the assets reported to be currently on the ground, this looks to be a very good sign.

Just my thoughts.

Are dogs on the ground?

 

[passionflower]

Any live tv coverage?

 

[OtisC]

ABC6 has joined the other helicopters.

I do see that Fox29 is live from the air on their website.

Just my opinion.

Found a livestream on youtube, but not sure if it’s an approved source. The youtuber is on the ground, though, watching the helicopters.

The 2 B407s are now searching way off to the east outside of the park over the Parkersville Road area, but not as far east as the Brandywine River where they were a few days ago. Not looking good.

Edited to add - one of the B407s may be going to refuel as it's making a NE beeline for some destination, not circling anymore.
