Apparently someone was willing to do life in prison or die

12. Increasing details are emerging from surveillance cameras. He changed clothes (went from

police duds into cowboy clothes). He's doing his best to camouflage himself. He got into those homes by posing as a cop. Now he's working at looking ordinary. He has a shaved head (not like the businessman photos of him). He wears a cowboy hat.

Given that he abandoned his car to escape, where did he stow his costume changes? Suggests assistance/skillful prep. I opt for assisting back-up because he may have planned that he would have to flee his "police" car. Gunshots at the second house (I counted seven holes from police video images near the front door of that house) must've awakened neighbors and having a getaway car would've been helpful.

Wondering if he's headed to Canada, but doubtful because it seems likely the official border crossings are alerted. Still, there are unofficial routes that he may know.
