Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - WBEN has learned that a possible suspect was picked up for questioning in the Bike Path Rapist investigation this morning. Sources tell WBEN that the suspect, Altimio Sanchez, is under arrest. Police sources say Sanchez' DNA is a match to the three murders and nine sexual assaults along bike paths and other isolated areas since the 1980's. He is said to be a 48-year old Cheektowaga resident.
Is he a legal citizen is what I'd like to know?
Buffalo-WNY BUMP
Probably made it during Reagan's amnesty.
It's possible but no one knows anything yet.
According to a report he worked at an area manufacturing firm. So he did have a SS#...whatever that means.
Live press conference coming at 1:30
48, married with 2 kids, crane operator..
Listen live at wben.com.. Bauerle is all over this and Tom, your doing a great job!
The WBEN audio link is still down, blocked out re: the Limbaugh program...
They've been posted requesting them to fire it up, as it looks like they won't be going back to Rush today.
Incredibly fast job of getting the DNA checked.
Lives on Allendale in Cheektowaga. They've been watching him for a while, but finally got the DNA from a Wmsville restaurant where he ate on Sat. They say the DNA is a solid match.
I feel sorry for his wife and kids. But thank you, God, they got him.
Apparently, he worked at Outukumpu/American Brass -- I know some people from there(!)
the DNA samples were swiped at a restaurant where he ate...a former waitress at that restaurant portrayed Linda Yalem (first victim?) years ago on AMW.
Strange coincidence.
Have they told where the restaurant is?
Tom is doing OK but I'd rather listen to Rush...we'll be bombarded by news about this perp forever.
There is such as thing as too much Tom and Sandy ;>)
Why? If he's legal, you'll give him a Mulligan?
Yes it's a restaurant at the Walker center in Wmsville...a Mexican type restaurant..where the scum went to eat with his wife dressed according to one of the owners like a member of the "professoriat"----sorry I can't remember the name.
Yes he is ...
Why do you ask ...
What makes you think he might not be?
***Yes it's a restaurant at the Walker center in Wmsville.***
They said that the police had gone to his home some time ago to talk to him about a gun incident, but they didn't have his DNA report at that time. When they got it from the restaurant they pulled him over at a traffic sign, and told him they were taking him in to have another discussion about the gun.
Thanks for the information.
SubGeniusX - Yes he is ...
Are you sure? Do you have any documentation to support this claim?
SubGeniusX - Why do you ask ...
What makes you think he might not be?
If you need to ask "why" I ask then the explanation would be lost on both of you.
But he's not a Racist .....
My plan was to then argue that, even if his figures are true (and they are not), then his confidence-level in "predicting" the immigration status of a reported murderer with a Hispanic surname is still well below a level at which he should be comfortable. He didn't stick around the thread, however. Small surprise.
