Experts weigh in on the potential escape routes of Robert Card, who is suspected of killing 18 people and injuring 13 others in a mass shooting in Maine.
LEWISTON, Maine — Police in Maine found the abandoned Subaru Outback of suspected mass murderer Robert Card at a boat launch Wednesday evening after a shooting rampage left 18 dead and 13 injured at two locations – a bar and a bowling alley. Although police identified Card, who appeared on surveillance video carrying a semiautomatic rifle into a bowling alley and then a nearby bar as a person of interest early, he remained at large Friday morning.
Early Thursday afternoon, Fox News Digital visited the boat launch where state police said they found his abandoned car. Upriver nearby is a dam, blocking a potential water escape in that direction. Headed the other way, the Androscoggin River runs freely to the southeast and also passes below a major highway, I-295 in Brunswick. In addition to fresh tire marks in the dirt parking lot, a single track, possibly from a motorcycle, ran back toward the street. Vehicle records show Card, who has posted Facebook selfies while fishing, has owned multiple boats – and at least one of them is unaccounted for, according to the Coast Guard. Documents also indicate he has access to a motorcycle.
Card has also had a recent mental illness incident, according to authorities – including allegedly hearing voices and threatening to shoot up a National Guard base in Saco, Maine. Katz questioned why Card still had access to firearms despite the state's 'Yellow Flag' law that would have allowed police to seek a medical evaluation for the suspect following the incident.
