Suspected Maine mass shooter Robert Card is a deer hunter “capable of hiding for a long time if he doesn’t want to be caught,” according to his family’s longtime neighbor.
Card, 40, is the subject of a massive manhunt over a Wednesday night shooting spree that left 18 people dead and 13 others wounded at multiple sites.
Rick Goddard, 44, lives less than a mile down the road from Card’s parents in Bowdoin, where the suspect grew up, and has known the family for decades. “It’s his stomping ground. I mean, he grew up here. He knows the area really well. He’s capable of hiding for a long time if he doesn’t want to be caught. There’s a lot of places you can be in the woods and never be seen,” Goddard told The Post.

Hearing aid batteries run out...
Yes. Rudolph was finally apprehended by a rookie small town cop who saw him dumpster diving. Then the FBI stepped in and took all the credit.
Plenty of empty vacation houses and cabins for him to stay in. If he's smart he isn't running around the woods lighting up whatever FLIR equipped drones have been deployed. My bet is he'll hunker in some vacant shelter with a wood stove that might even have canned goods on the shelves.
If he's smart...
He appears to also be insane, so...
Yup on the vacation houses/cabins as an option. I would be very nervous if I owned one in the area where he ‘could’ be. Imagine going to check on your place & running into him. This sounds terrible to say, but personally, I hope he suicides so there’s no threat to anyone else.
Yup. He's a rabid dog that needs to be put down.
If he planned this, it will take many many weeks to find him.
Beautiful place. I've climbed it many times. (years ago)
I note that he has been an Army Reservist since 2002.
I wonder how many times he has been to Iraq/Afghanistan?
PTSD?
So, a known mental case is observed for two weeks and then turned loose?
Is “Sue a Shrink” a thing?
He has a boat though. He could just head down the coast, and hurricane season is pretty much done.

He never was deployed overseas.
Complete conjecture, the boat launch was for canoes, dams up and down river, short stretch of water to nowhere.
More likely he just waded out to deep drop off, blew his head off, weight of guns, gear, ammo dragged him down, current washed him down to the fishes.

Incorrect. There are no dams down river from the boat launch. There are rapids depending on the time of year, but a former LEO I was at dinner with last night said a jetski could have made it down the river to the Kennebec River where he could have picked up a boat he stashed there. This former LEO said every thing he has seen is everything Card has done has been with a high level of planning.
Well they said this morning that they were bringing in the divers to look for a body, so it looks like the people who actually know what is going on with the search agree with you. I hope you’re right and that my theory is wrong. Sure would save the taxpayers a lot of money.
Yeah, simplest explanation, he offed himself. Near the last spot he was, no giant master escape plan, just some dumb Army Reservist getting dumped by his gf and maybe losing his once a month gas pumping army job.
Domestic violence, wimmin problems, getting dumped from any pension, prolly be enough for the voices in his head to make him do it.
Yeah, hope he’s dead, save the taxpayers money.
WINTER COMING.
MAY MAKE HIS HIDING A BIT HARDER.
