A ping from the cellphone of a behavioral health worker who randomly killed a Cleveland grandfather and posted video of the execution on Facebook has been detected in Pennsylvania, according to a report.
The clue emerged as police in Ohio urged residents in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Michigan to be on the lookout for Steve Stephens, 37, who may have fled Cleveland after allegedly gunning down Robert Godwin Sr., 74.
Stephens cellphone ping was detected about 100 miles east of Cleveland in Erie, Pa., authorities told CNN. Police in the city told The Post they were not investigating the case.

Why would they want to tell a psychopathic killer that they are pinging his phone?
Maybe they want to talk to him?
Excellent point. They could've said something less revealing like he was sighted in the Erie PA area. Then, he just might have left his car...and taken his cell phone with him.
Nobody is in charge of common sense anymore.
Maybe they’re lying....
Every cell phone pings the towers of the area it is in. His phone pinged an Erie tower.
He probably turned it on for a moment to check something
local news is reporting that this is false info

Maybe it is false but this statement doesn’t mean it is false....

When asked of report of cell phone pinging in Erie, PA, Chief Williams says they do not know Stephens location at this time.
I’m waiting for someone to write the book, HOW YOU CAN WIN THE VICTIM LOTTERY.
How dumb is this guy to travel with his phone on?
The press is doing this to warn him off.
Well, how dumb is it to kill someone at random, then broadcast video of the killing on Facebook? Someone commented that he looks like he physically has microcephaly — small brain cavity/brain. He looks like a moron.
The guy drove around the whole day and night yesterday in a known car and the only thing the cops did was to chase away people looking for him.
He must be well connected.
Lots of travelers yesterday afternoon and evening. Tape the cellphone to a Pa. bound car?
This man is insane. But he may be cleverly insane or stupidly insane.
No way to tell at this point but he’s stayed free for 24 hours while under a manhunt so he’s not a complete idiot and not looking to shoot it out with the cops unless forced.
My heart broke for the 75 year old man this animal shot.
If he only could have defended himself.
Never mind.....................
This killer is a coward, only reason to kill that defenseless man.
I think this is a point where the people reporting the news want to perpetuate the horror so they can sell more ad space.
