Flint area officials confirmed at a news conference this afternoon that stabbings and assaults reported in Leesburg, Va., may be connected to attacks in Genesee County.

Police also are investigating whether a similar case in Toledo is connected, as well, said Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton.

“We’re worried that there’s somebody out there who may be stabbing people and committing crimes of homicide,” Leyton said. “We’re going after that individual.”

He also confirmed that the number of related attacks on Flint area men has increased from 13 to 15, including five deaths. All but one of the men were black and between the ages of 17 and 60. Some of the men have been short, some tall, some slim and some stocky, Leyton said. . .

This gets more bizarre by the day. Sounds like this killer gets around; same description, MO, same Chevy Blazer.

Needless to say, they have to get this guy as soon as possible. Washington Post also now reporting this afternoon's press conference: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/crime-scene/maria-glod/police-va-attacks-may-be-linke.html?hpid=topnews

1. I found the fact that you have a Michael Moore picture right under that guy's sketch hilarious. n/t

2. Rec because the sketch of the suspect superficially resembles Michael Moore

:rofl:

3. Didn't even think of that. Must be the baseball cap.

This guy is a lot younger than Michael, of course.

Too serious of a story to play around with that, so g'bye, Michael.

4. Michael Moore on meth? It fits. Losing weight and lost his glasses. n/t

5. If this is all the evidence they have, then there might unfortunately be more bloodshed

I can pick 3 people who look like that off the top of my head.

6. But are any of those 3 known to drive a dark green Chevy Blazer

with cream, beige, or gold trim?

I'm hoping that the sketch and vehicle description together will lead to a valid tip before any more blood is shed.
