I am here in Point Roberts, Wash. where he is on the loose. News media all over.
Let us know if you catch him.
I am sure he is in Vancouver now. His mom lives there. Do a google maps of point roberts, washington. He took his own boat from Blaine/Semiamhoo Wash to Pt. Roberts because the border is easy to cross.
