The home at 2510 Broadway in Fort Myers where John Lee Malvo possibly lived one year ago
Posted on 10/25/2002 7:26:06 PM PDT by Shermy
The younger of two men arrested Thursday morning in connection with the Washington, D.C.-area sniper shootings is believed to have attended public school last year in south Fort Myers.
John Lee Malvo, 17, was arrested at a rest stop in Frederick County, Md., and is one of two suspects in recent sniper attacks that have left 10 individuals dead and three wounded. Lee County school officials confirm that a teenager named Lee Boyd Malvo attended Cypress Lake High from Aug. 13 to Oct. 16, 2001, and authorities presume that individual is the same person arrested Thursday.
Police also arrested John Allen Muhammed, 41, and have said he too is linked to the sniper attacks. Authorities believe the pair may both have lived in central Fort Myers.
"We have been contacted by a law enforcement agency for information and files on this former student," said John Dattola, director of public information and community relations for the School District. "We will comply with this request and give them the information."
Dattola later said the agency was the FBI, which will review cumulative information about Malvo's course selections, grades and other academic material.
A guidance counselor at Cypress Lake High recognized the student's name from morning news reports, then contacted Principal Nancy Graham, who in turn notified district officials. Graham would not release the counselor's name, and several staff members contacted late Thursday declined to comment.
Malvo and Muhammed are believed to have rented a home at 2510 Broadway in Fort Myers from owner Antoine Eveque. Through a Creole/English translator, a woman who answered the telephone at Eveque's home said he was not available to answer questions.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office street index showed one call to 2510 Broadway since 1999. Deputies were called to the house on March 2001 but law enforcement took no action against anyone.
Betty Page moved into 2510 Broadway in October 2001, likely renting the home right after Malvo and Muhammed left. She never knew the men or whomever rented the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home before her, but her residence garnered much media attention Thursday and stirred emotions in the neighborhood.
"I said, 'Wow, it's a small world,' "Page said about her connection to Malvo and Muhammed.
"This is crazy because they lived kitty-corner from me, but I have never had trouble with my neighbors," said Veda Fremou, 47, who has lived across the street from 2510 Broadway for five years.
Fremou said people would come in and out of the house last year, around September, [ - that's September 2001 - ] at all times of the night. However, Fremou said they weren't loud and she didn't necessarily suspect anything suspicious happening there. She did recall a semi-truck parked at the house sometime last year.
By late morning Thursday, school officials still were uncertain whether the John Lee Malvo who was arrested is the same person as Lee Boyd Malvo. Dattola said much of the district's doubt was eliminated by the late afternoon, but he would not elaborate on what information led officials to believe Lee Boyd Malvo is indeed John Lee Malvo. The FBI telephoned the district around 3 p.m. with its request for student records.
At about the same time, Graham was prepping her school's roughly 1,900 students by announcing over the intercom system that an individual arrested in connection with the sniper shootings likely attended class there. Few teenagers knew Malvo because he only attended class for 39 days, but word traveled quickly as students exited class to a throng of media contingents. ...snip...
Ernest, about 2 days ago, I read a reply here which mentioned "airplane pilot's training" had been sought for this John Lee Malvo character when they were in Florida...
Web searches have been futile, and I haven't seen it mentioned again- have you anything about this?
Have you seen anything?
So it was a sham transaction!

Once, Muhammad told Grant that he had to travel a long distance, possibly to Jamaica or the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean, to sign some papers on a land sale, Grant said. Grant said he wondered why Muhammad would fly to do that when the job could be handled by mail.
I thought all Muslim men are homosexual, isn't it part of their culture?
I'm getting tired of the media reporting that he changed his name after 9/11. The warrant that was issued was in 2000 and his name on the warrant was Mohammed.
I think dennisw mentioned the other day that he is an Illegal, maybe he's got a link.
Here's something interesting...
Keithly Nedd, who lived in the house where Muhammad rented a room, said the 41-year-old US Army veteran also had a scam involving Jamaicans flying to the United States on the return tickets of people who flew to the island legitimately. Muhammad would organise papers or a passport for a would-be migrant in Antigua, usually Jamaican, to use the return ticket.
Sniper suspect sold fake passports, ran immigration scamMaybe this is how Muhammad knows Osbourne. Perhaps it also explains why Osbourned was persuaded to buy the Blue Caprice with Muhammad.
