AURORA, Colo. Sources tell FOX31 Denver reporter Justin Joseph that a second man is now a person-of-interest in the Aurora theater shooting investigation. We are not disclosing his identity because he has not been charged.
-SNIP-
The person of interests Facebook page shows he has a masters degree in bio-medical science.
Anshutz Medical Center confirms he is in their doctorate program, the same program from which Holmes withdrew several months ago.
Out of caution police searched their campus Friday, but they wont say what if anything they were looking for or found.
As for the person of interest, all law enforcement jurisdictions, local, state and federal, are looking for him.

--------------------------------
With a degree in bio-medical science I wonder if this 2nd person may be the bomb-maker
UPDATE: This is 2nd person of interest: Yeom Pyo Lee

(7,968 posts)bio hazards and chemical weapons should be of significant concern in this case. I'm assuming that they are on top of this but given the academic capabilities of this lunatic his booby trap could be quite ugly. This would be especially true if he had an accomplish.

MSNBC spoke to a former resident of apartment #10, the unit that Holmes lived in. The prior tenant, who lived there two years ago, paid $525 a month for the one-bedroom, 800 square foot apartment. The apartment was adjacent to the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado Denver, where Holmes was studying for his PhD in neuroscience until he withdrew last month. There was a concern that Holmes may have been able to obtain hazardous materials from the medical school, but Oates said that over the past 24 hours, the school completed a thorough search of biohazards and radioactive materials and found there is nothing missing.
This is believable, still the skeptic in me wonders ... would they tell us if something had gone missing?

(17,064 posts)I 'd guess that each biohazard, drug, chemical, etc , has its own specific disposal protocol... and theres probably logbooks and other records to track it. I'm not an expert, but I'd trust the medical school on this one.

(4,517 posts)Cooking books to hide items as destroyed is quite possible. Not saying it happened in this instance, only that it was a serious possibility.
HooptieWagon
(17,064 posts)I think the possibility of cooking the books is remote. There probably are several copies, and several signatures from different layers of management. It would have to be a vast conspiracy the whole lab is in on. Ockam's Razor.
Sirveri
(4,517 posts)Well it only takes one step in the chain if you don't have good materials control. I'm remembering back when we used to destroy confidential material back in the US Navy. Get a new book, the old one is 'destroyed'. There was only one guy in that chain, not hard to just take the book home instead of burning it.

(3,539 posts)AURORA - 9Wants to Know has learned authorities are looking into the likelihood that James Holmes had an acquaintance who had knowledge of the attack.
Law enforcement have not identified the person.
That's all for the moment.
ProgressiveProfessor
(22,144 posts)Law enforcement will cast a wide net in an effort to make sure they have any and all involved with this. Hate to be his regular barista...the search will got that deep.

In this specific case, should it work, I have absolutely no problem with the police lying to get the second person.

(49,045 posts)DENVER -- Sources close to the investigation of the Aurora theater shootings told the Call7 Investigators that the Aurora Police Department received an electronic communication that threatened violence if James Holmes wasn't released.
-snip-
The communication was traced through an internet protocol number to a router in Aurora. The person who lives at the address is an acquaintance of James Holmes through their program at the Anschutz Medical Campus, according to the sources.
-snip-
Sources said they began looking for the fellow student Friday and they found him Saturday afternoon.
He has been interviewed. It was still unclear Saturday night whether the person actually sent the threat. But, investigators in interviewing him have gained more information about James Holmes, the sources said.
They'e not positive he actually sent the threat, since someone else could have sent it and routed it through that address.

(62,277 posts)It's possible he just set up something on this guys computer to go off at a certain time, say, a time bomb that if it wasn't reset every 3-4 days it would automatically send out a message.

Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)of a guy who is supposedly Holmes being arrested by cops at an OWS protest.
He is convincing people it's Holmes and that Holmes is a Black Block OWS member ( as if this is a coordinated effort )
I won't link to this cretin's posts, but he is convincing a lot of gullible rightwing fanatics who want to believe this, who want to blame anything but lax weapons laws and lack of adequate mental health services for these mass murders we keep enduring.
The only problem: Holmes has no such arrest on his record, so it's all bullshit and merely more proof the Rightwing fanatics are the most insidious liars in the history of mankind.
