I am so sorry for the victim and all victims of violent crimes. No one deserves this at all.
If any good can come from this, it reminds us to lock our cars whenever we are IN them, and please, please, everyone be aware of your environment! ANYONE coming up to your vehicle, especially to get in a door, is a THREAT! Drive away! Leave enough room at stop lights to maneuver around other vehicles. One car length shoudl suffice. Even if you hit another car or get on the sidewalk, it’s better than being in close proxinity to a violent criminal. The criminal then has to either attack or run…and if he chooses to attack he has a moving, concealed target. Most criminals are complete cowards and will shun this. If he runs, so much the better. Henderson PD can pick him up later.

Is there anyway we can get more information regarding this?? There hasn’t been that much news coverage regarding this criminal. Can you please have some more information on your website with his picture. This needs to get out to as many women as possible!! Are there any pictures from the traffic cameras?? I live in Henderson and have many friends who live in this vicinity and I am very concerned. I would just like to see some more coverage!! I’m sure many other women would appreciate it.

I also would like more info. I lived in 7hills for 11 years and was stupid enough not to lock my doors… it was a gated community. What a ditz! I just moved 2 months ago, and man, this article kicked me hard. I left for work each day at 6:05, that could have been me. I was lucky, but I still have all my neighbors and the kids I watched grow up there. I’m worried about them.
Our local coverage often astounds me. You can bet, within the week, Channel 8 will cover a fire in a southern state, or a train wreck in the midwest.. and I often ask myself, “Don’t we have local coverage for them?”
Please Channel 8, update us on this.

I understand this article was posted in the middle of October,..But was’nt that shooting of the 3 S.W.A.T.
Officers right up in this general areal also?
So maybe someone needs to “inquire” of the young gentleman and his girl if they know of anyone that resembles this…..
(I’m not Sherlock Holmes or anything but it sure is fun trying…..)
