The Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner, Mike Sauschuck, announced on Friday that divers will be deployed to search the Androscoggin River in Lisbon, Maine, for any potential evidence related to the manhunt for shooting suspect Robert Card. Card is believed to be responsible for two mass shootings in Lewiston, which claimed the lives of 18 individuals. While Sauschuck did not confirm that the suspect is in the water, he emphasized that extensive search efforts are necessary. Sonar technology will also be utilized to aid in the search.
Addressing the media, Sauschuck stated, “Clearly we don’t have him located at this point. We don’t have him in custody. The river is a big piece of this, the car was located there. Evidence is located there in the vehicle right there along the shores of the Androscoggin River.” He assured the public that law enforcement has nothing to hide and is committed to using all available resources.
The investigation has received over 530 tips from the public, and investigators have discovered a note at a property linked to Card. In light of the ongoing manhunt, Lewiston Police Chief David St. Pierre emphasized the community’s safety as the top priority. He reassured the public that law enforcement is working tirelessly to apprehend the suspect and ensure the community’s protection.
As the search for Robert Card continues, the Maine Department of Safety remains dedicated to employing all necessary measures to locate him and gather crucial evidence. The involvement of divers and the utilization of advanced technologies underscore the commitment of law enforcement to bring the suspect to justice and provide closure for the affected community.
