There’s a hold my beer joke in there somewhere....I just can’t pull it out.
Good police work!
I am reminded of a SLy & Family Stone song from 1969;
“Somebody’s Watching You!”
Florida Man cannot be stopped; we can only hope to contain him.
Good. Probably thought he got away with it.
Robbery isn’t motive enough?
“Stough was charged with first-degree murder with a weapon.”
I’ve never understood what difference a weapon makes in a murder. Is someone who has been stabbed deader than someone who was bashed on the head?
“Using a droplet of the unknown individual’s blood recovered from the handle of a freezer,”
“Detectives focused on Stough, who they said had worked at the convenience store for some time before Paquette.”
Not hard to see what the defense is going to do with that.
Umm... I cut my hand while I worked there, opened that door and forgot to wipe off my blood?
Since he worked there, it’s plausible that the blood was left there at another time. This will a difficult conviction.
I wonder how many formerly cocky homicidal maniacs have been getting a little nervous lately about leaving DNA in public. Because of the genealogy relational tracing, the rate of solving old cold cases are just going to increase.
Depends on how long a gap was between their employment. It said he worked there before the victim. By how much? Years? Months? Hours?
God Bless Orange County's cold case heroes...

It’s why I did literally all of the DNA ancestry tests.
I’ve got a few cousins that have to be guilty of something, I want to help finger them.
Florida man strikes again, “Here hold my beer while I stab this clerk.”
“Detectives also said Stough lived in an apartment across the street from Paquette in 1996 and would often frequent the store.”
Lived across the street from the guy he killed, stabbed the clerk 73 times and cut his throat. Either the killer had/has anger management issues or more likely he had some beef with the guy.
Soon to be featured on “20/20” or “Dateline” or whatever show it is where Nancy Grace says a bunch of annoying stuff. (Are those shows still on?)
I would love to see Florida Man’s arrest file sometime.
