spending an awful lot of tax dollars to find ONE man that killed a girl. Ya got 40 FBI agents, DEP, DNR, State Police, and a myriad of other alphabet agencies out looking for him.
Even if he's in the reserve, in the everglades, in Miami or somewhere in the states, he will be found and I say rather quickly.
If he's driving, he has to get gas, if he's driving, there are cameras everywhere, if he's driving, he has to eat, Or he has an accomplice.
He's not a survivalist by any stretch of the imagination and if his parents helped him get away.....well say good by to all you own assholes.
Thoughts?
and I am not making light of Gabriels' death in anyway, shape or form.

(102,141 posts)local police and sheriff's departments in ALL of the potentially relevant locales likewise get involved. This kind of LEO "metastasis" of those involved in a murder case with a suspect missing is not unusual as soon as it becomes a Federal matter. That would be true of any sheriff department involved as the primary law enforcement jurisdiction.
I'd like to see more murders solved and solved quickly. And the more time that goes by, the less of a chance they will. Talk with any department about their "cold cases."
Do I want the many unsolved cases of missing or murdered (especially women of color) to get the same treatment and attention? You are damned right, I do.

(36,219 posts)the resources. People now just want authorities to stop looking for him because his victim is a young white attractive woman not an indigenous woman?
These answers we are getting to these valid issues are making no sense. Each individual deserves this attention is the answer.
Remember when Versace was murdered? His killer got this kind of attention.

(28,072 posts)It does seem that young, pretty, white women are the only ones that get this sort of attention.
And the media attention does keep the pressure on law enforcement.

(16,163 posts)that he is not a "survivalist" in any way, shape or form.If he's in the swamp, either the gators, the pythons, a rattlesnake, or the mosquitos will either force him to come out or he'll be a happy buzzard thanksgiving. I live up the coast from North Port and trust me, you'd have to be nucking futz to spend a day out in a "reserve" around here without complete netting, no sweating, a fire to keep the skeeters away, and that's just the first hour.
I would like to see him caught, hell yes,.
but if he's not in the swamp someone had to be or has to be helping him stay out of sight. I think that may be aiding and abetting, or accomplice after the fact.
It's best to concentrate forces where the going is easy for him. Swamp hammocks aren't.

(12,047 posts)He's been on the loose for almost a month now, he may never be found, a mystery within a mystery, no wonder its grabbed the attention of so many.
A real life mystery crime drama being played out over social media too, thats been crucial.

1. He was gator meat and now gator shit.
2. He's being digested by a python.
3. Buzzard meat and now buzzard shit.
Scenario B:
Him being there was all a ruse and is now south of the border.
Scenario C:
Still around, hiding somewhere hoping this will all blow over somehow.
