In the early hours, there was word of a second suspect.
About a year? Isn’t that close to the same amount of time Holmes has been there? Knew him from CA?
Wow, you never know what twists this kind of thing will take.
Thanks Kristinn for posting this update.
Maybe it’s the guy who let him in the emergency door. It’s on Drudge. Makes sense. Somebody had to let him in. Apparently some dude with a cell phone in the front row took a call, got up, went to the emergency door, came back, sat down, moments later dick wad enters and starts murdering people.
So there was a second person involved after all? Wow. This would change the case.
Hey, I've seen this movie before ...
Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if this “person of interest” may have set up the explosives in the apartment.
We also had news recently that Holmes spent around 15K to prepare. I wonder if this person of interest had more to do than just opening the emergency exit?
“Neighbors say he and his roommate left their home hours before the massacre. They havent seen him since”
Two more “crazy” people? Maybe something got loose at the lab.
This is obviously another attention seeking nut.
Has anyone heard anything more about the alleged 2 roommates that Holmes had (or has)?
I wonder if this one of them.
How does a broke college student get 15k to 20k worth of stuff? Bad smelling fishy, where did the money come from?????
Just FWIW: It’s possible to spoof cell phones, sending someone else’s information to 911. Backtracking the call will determine whether it was really made from his phone, but at an early stage just the fact that his number was recorded doesn’t mean a whole lot.
A white Hispanic?
So no one is releasing the name of the “person of interest”. They must not have found any links from this person to the Tea Party. Surprised the press didn’t just pick a name.
If true, this becomes even more reminiscent of the Columbine tragedy. Was this second guy suspected of participating in the shootings and then fleeing the scene in all the chaos?
UPDATE:
According to KMGH, the person of interest was questioned tonight in connection with sending a text message. NOT a suspect in shootings.
I keep wondering where he attained the knowledge for making the bombs and booby traps in the apartment- and where an unemployed student got the money for this and all the guns and ammunition.
I was working that night. As soon as there was word of a shooting I put Aurora police/ emergency on the internet scanner. The link was also posted on a FR thread. My thread was a few minutes behind others because I was getting the scanner running.
There was POSITIVELY an exchange that mentioned one suspect in custody, a second person - described as a floor cleaner- being held at gunpoint. There was a strange request for other officers to assist in holding...the wording was sit with..the floor cleaner. In the meantime other police traffic indicated a frantic search on for yet another perp.
There was a problem with the parking lot lights going out, probably on a timer, and officers were told that if the woman manager didn’t know how to get them on to pretty dang fast get someone there who did.
Some of the LEO’s involved in the exchange were at Alameda and Sable(? It was garbled) which I gathered was a little bit away from the scene. However that seems to have been where a search was underway and a perimiter was set up.
My point is the LEO’s absolutely mentioned a second person being detained and a search underway for another.
