A (?) man with a backpack was spotted running near the scene of the crime.

Could be a yute.

I live very close and know this area well. Two places this person came from - A nearby apartment/condo or the AZDOT drainage culverts where a mass of homeless people have been congregating for several years now. The apartments in this area are typically luxury, but there’s also a lot of open space (desert) between that location and the Mayo Clinic. This guy should have been found already.

You said what I was thinking, but in much better terms.

It is tragic but I'm running out of sympathy for those who put themselves into dangerous predicaments (eg. parachutists, rock climbers, base jumping). The Bible calls it "tempting the Lord."

Legally speaking you are just wrong. The police saw him running away and put his photo out. They aren’t looking for him because they think he may have seen something.
There are subjects, witnesses, suspects and charged/accused. These is no weasel category where we clearly think this person was the likely offender, but golly we aren’t sure we can call him a suspect. The instant you believe someone is anything other than a pure witness, they are a suspect. Suspects might get cleared and other times they get charged.

And when they find this “person of interest” and arrest him with a SWAT team and cuff and search him, that tells the court they thought he was involved. They had better have read him his rights before the interrogation.

Person of interest as a PIO word. It literally became famous in pop culture when the FBI was using it against Richard Jewell. They had 100% formed the opinion that he was the Olympic Park bomber. They were sweating him, following him around, making a big show about parking in front of his house, release Tempus name to the press…. Everything. It’s a legal fiction for the FBI to have pretended he was not a suspect. He was THE suspect.

No different than the term person of color, minor attracted person, etc. But Person of Interest has no legal meaning not covered by the original categories. Even DOJ does not claim that.

***but there has never been a time in human history when it’s safe for young attractive females***

Absolutely correct! I still remember a murder fifty three years ago in Tulsa of a woman jogging. Still unsolved. Always go in a group! Carry protection of at least 380 Auto cal!

“Always go in a group! Carry protection of at least 380 Auto cal!”

And don’t hike while listening with ear pods. Even being armed isn’t adequate when you’re attacked from behind without warning.

Oh hell, I didn’t realize you were Canadian. You really don’t know. It’s widely used by PIO‘s, but just out of political correctness. It carries no unique definition in American law. In American courts, the instant the cop has the slightest idea that this guy could possibly be involved in the crime, he is a suspect. It’s not when you have enough proof to charge him, or anything of that sort. It’s not when the evidence is starting to mount up. The instant the cop forms in his mind, the idea that “hmmm this guy could possibly be involved in this “, he’s a suspect. And then the investigation continues . The investigation may lead to him being charged, or cleared.

Even the article you posted says that

“Person of interest” is a term used by law enforcement in the United States, Canada, and other countries when identifying someone possibly involved in a criminal investigation who has not been arrested or formally accused of a crime.[1] It has no legal meaning, but refers to someone in whom the police are “interested”, either because the person is cooperating with the investigation, may have information that would assist the investigation, or possesses certain characteristics that merit further attention.[2]”

That is literally the textbook definition of a suspect. Someone possibly involved who has not been formally arrested or accused. And needs further investigation.

I have no idea what it might mean in Canada.

Potential witnesses are called witnesses, or subjects.

That person is an accessory after the fact. If they know who did it, but didn’t do it themselves. That, or they are a witness that has not yet come forward. Person of Interest is like person of color. Cops often speak of potential witnesses when they are trying to find aunt Bessie who was walking her poodle on the trail that day. But if they have the slightest scintilla of an idea that the homeless black guy running from the scene where the body was found might be involved, then he has a suspect. Not a person of interest.

its a constant war on women and girls....men do not have to fear women attacking them while they're out hiking unless its a sicko, and then again, it would be another man....

we could have a better world but people refuse.

running on a trail is not rock climbing nor base jumping nor using a parachute....

I seem to recall being told that the saying in Genghis Khan’s empire was that an unaccompanied maiden could walk the length of the empire with a bag of gold on her head, unmolested. Or something close to that. But you have to deal with criminals that way the khan did, not the way the demo-commies do.
