Florida..AGAIN!!

[Moonman62]

According to police, Herskind got out of prison in December for armed robbery. He met Smith and moved in with her in South Daytona Beach. Police went there and no one was home.

I hope the best for this woman, but what was she thinking?

[PistolPaknMama]

Is Florida now the cess pool of the south or just more people posting Flordia stories?

This guy sounds like a freak. Hopefully they will find this girl alive and well and fry the freak. How women end up with nut cases is beyond me.

Schizophrenics with long histories of violent crime should not be released into the general population. No one with a long history of violent crime should.

[SteveMcKing]

Florida is a magnet for drifters and fugitives because of state geography and the US highway system. Criminals flee from all over down I-95, and eventually end up in Florida with no place left to run.

I'm NOT "blaming the victim", but why does any woman keep such boyfriends? (They give them free drugs, sometimes, that's one reason...)

"Schizophrenics with long histories of violent crime should not be released into the general population. No one with a long history of violent crime should."

You've got that right. Literally every single one of these men who have killed so many young girls in Florida in the past year, were on the loose, out in the public with no one tracking them.

I asked the same question a few days ago on another post about a "boyfriend" that raped and killed a little girl. Any woman who would bring this kind of person in her home and life doesn't have much self esteem, IMO. They are setting themselves, and often their children, up for tragedy.

[texasflower]

This doesn't sound good at all.

[ambrose]

Probably thinking "What an exciting and dangerous man! I am so sick of all those square losers!"

[dc-zoo]

Floriduh.. just as bad as Canaduh. Where criminals check in and they always check out.

[poobear]

No consideration for the victim, just the fact that Florida is mentioned in the title. What a wonderful person you must be you pathetic imbecile!

[BykrBayb]

Officers believe the two are in a four-door, light green 1999 Dodge Neon with the tag number V15 PKY. If you have seen Smith or Herskind, call Crimestoppers at 1-888-277-TIPS.

I found a picture of a green 4-door 1999 Dodge Neon. I don't know if it's the right shade of green, but it should look similar to the car they're looking for.

Tag number V15 PKY

backatcha.

Florida is the new California, in that it attracts drifters from all corners of the world seeking a "new start in life." With all due respect to Florida Freepers (many of whom do live in safe, family oriented communities down there), its a destination for the flotsam and jetsam of humanity, some of whom are good, but other who have more nefarious intentions. Being the most transient state in the nation, its easy for people to "disappear."

[BykrBayb]

Where is your concern for the victim? Your concern seems to be for the reputation of Florida. It's reputation is earned. Don't blame those of who just happened to notice.

[Clemenza]

I need to start a ping list: "Forget it Jake, its Florida."

[ValerieUSA]

Like it really matters. We do not need compassion police.

[Lovergirl]

What seems to be your problem? I certainly do have compassion, I just think Florida sucks. Please don't post to me again.
