I for one am glad to hear that the police are observant enough to take notice of a tattooed spider on a mans hand. I just hope some officers just don't get too carried away, with their duties, as it would be very counter productive.

I have to wonder? How much do you ACTUALLY know what the Homicide unit puts into a murder investigation?
You need to understand a few things. Just because a murder is listed as "unsolved", that doesn't mean the police do not know who did it. There are quite a few solved-"unsolved" murders in the city. Problem is there isn't enough "evidence" to bring it home. That evidence is usually witnesses. The police cannot just go lock up Joe Smith after you tell them you saw Joe Smith kill someone. They need you to go in and give a statement and then testify.
To show you just how much effort the Homicide guys put into a job, there was a homeless woman killed well over a year ago. Killed and left in an abandoned building. There was no front page story. No six o'clock news. They know who did it. Problem is noone will "say" it. Well after the murder....over a year later, I believe, the detectives were back in the neighborhood the woman and her killer freqented looking for more evidence. Looking for someone to come forward and testify. Sadly no one did. But they still look into it. They still ask questions. This was a woman who has no family. No friends or outraged neighbors. No advocates what so ever, except for the detective who caught the job.
And again, I cannot stress to you enough how dangerous the killer of Chuck Cassidy is at this point. When a man kills another man, he is desperate. When a man kills a cop knowing he's bringing the wrath of the city towards him, he is way beyond desperate. He's a demon.
Right now, in my humblest of opinions, the person who is helping this guy (if someone is indeed hiding him) is the person MOST at risk. He's desperate. He's in hiding. He's scared. He KNOWS there is a bounty on him. He knows he's looking at the rest of his life in jail, at best. Do the math. You can't drop a dime if you get dropped first.

Really? I'm not convinced that it's not that guy. I hope the police are keeping an eye on him. If he leaves his house, I hope the police know about it. There is such a thing as too much of a coincidence.

Has it ever been revealed that the spiderweb tattoo was viewed during Wednesday's robbery? I'm still not entirely convinced that it was the same guy as the earlier robbery, based on the evidence released. A tattoo is pretty distinctive, but it's easy to confuse two heavyset guys with limps.

They know what they're doing. They'll get him.

You're not the only one thinking this. I've spoken to several people who are wondering if the police are trailing him and are just gathering concrete evidence? Although I'm sure the workers and customers in the donut shop have been shown his photos.
