Police find suspect Steven Stephens in Facebook Live homicide dead in Erie PA

my husbands ex wife too...

this case is just heartbreaking to me, that poor man :(

Before Steve Stephens killed Robert Goodwin, he posted a video manifesto. You can find it on YouTube.

Stephens sounds like an injustice collector. He sees himself as a victim no matter what.

Example of injustice collectors are Elliot Rodger, Vester Flanagan, Seung-Hui Cho, Eric Harris, Adam Lanza, Charles Whitman, Omar Mateen, and Osama bin Laden.

I suspect we will hear more about Steve Stephens. I suspect he is a difficult person to work with.

I dont wanna watch but am hoping for some context. Was he driving around a long time looking? Did it seem like he passed by others or was the victim the first person he encountered. Was he talking while he was driving around? Was it like you knew he was hunting based on what he is saying right before he pulled up and got out?

The video I watched didn't last very long. He was driving along ranting about his problems, then seemed to make the decision and go after the guy walking down the street. It looked like a quiet area, no other people around. It doesn't indicate whether he had driven around a long time looking for someone to shoot.

Cleveland OH police warned early Monday that residents in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Michigan should be on the lookout for 37-year-old Steve Stephens. The alleged "Facebook Live Killer" is driving a white Ford Fusion and is believed to be armed and dangerous. The search has expanded to other states, and residents of Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, in particular, were asked to be on the alert.

A law enforcement source told CBS News investigative producer Pat Milton investigators picked up a “ping” from Stephens’ cellphone around 7 p.m. Sunday night in Erie, Pennsylvania, about 100 miles northeast of Cleveland.

But since then investigators have been unable to detect a signal, the source said, and it’s not clear where Stephens may have traveled since.

I am kind of surprised this type of killing hasn't happened more often.

Praying this is not the start of a new trend.

Ever since Facebook, Twitter, and Social Media in general starting getting bigger and bigger I worried that someone would take something to the extreme to get attention.

If this is the start of a new trend (please God NO) then what can be done to stop it?

It's the worry wart in me coming out now.

I think it is time for SM to take some action. I am not talking censorship. Shoot it would probably take them 20 minutes with an algorithm that can pick up and alert. So they then look at if the patterns are concerning (mass shooter etc) email it it to LE and let them make choices.

Time after time , afterward, there are tons of stuff posted to these folks, that have similarities
Make the critical tough, but there are patterns in advance.,

Make it to where LE can't just start knocking on citizens doors, but there could just be a heightened LE awareness.

Ono I think this was his first and his last other than his.

By now we would have heard if there were creepy things on his SM

all you internet sharp sluethers would have found stuff before it was yanked.

Anyone see anything that seemed out of the ordinary prior to this horror??

I'm gonna call my son and tell him to shave off his beard!

Tell him to either starve himself or happily binge so he can alter his weight in the next 24 hours !

He worked there.

[FONT=&amp] Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team functions like a “hospital without walls.” A multidisciplinary team works together to provide each individual with the right mix of treatment and support, 24/7. Teams include a project leader, psychiatrist, nurse, substance abuse specialist, vocational specialist, peer specialist and case managers. Most services are provided in the home or community.

[/FONT]The bottom line is all these things were rolled out because of money. Inpt is very expensive and there are no beds.



So they tried to come up with a way to keep it from getting so bad that the only intervention was psyc inpt placement.

Conceptually sounds good on paper...............

Which one? No one knows where he is at the moment.

What is the tag number of his white Ford Fusion? It needs to be published on twitter and Facebook. The DC sniper John Allen Muhammad who was killing people around DC in 2002 was turned in by citizen aware of his car.

What an arrogant SOB! "Current hide and seek champion". :sick: And here I was thinking he had some type of remorse for what he did to that sweet grandfather and maybe had put a bullet in his own brain! He has absolutely NO remorse and actually thinks he's funny! They need to find this monster and remove him from society.

Not sure if you were asking me but I was asking for the Scanner Thread link for here at WS. I deleted my post because I found it myself.

Ohhh ok I thought you were asking for the live scanner link, last post I see on the scanner thread was around 6am. I was listening to Rochester Scanner, he mentioned something about targeting "Greeks" and interestingly there's a town called Greece near there.

Re: His ' other ' vehicle he sometimes drives. Is that vehicle missing? Or do we know/ believe he is still using the white car? TIA

I just heard (read) that Altoona PA posted an alert to be on the lookout. Im not hearing anything on the radio though, it's rather quiet.
