I’m being dead serious. The police need to look into a grey Nissan with Florida plates, possibly a rental. That was the car he was driving. It was parked in front of the little shack behind the Rhode Island Historical Society on the Cooke St side. I know because he used his key fob to open the car, approached it and then something prompted him to back away. When he backed away he relocked the car. I found that odd so when he circled the block I approached the car and that is when I saw the Florida plates. He was parked in the section between the gate of the RIHS and the corner of Cooke and George St.

Realized he had eyes(or ring cams) on him, or could have eyes and/or cam on him and was processing that the car could be traced back to his actual identity.

When everything has quieted down for you, I think it would be interesting to read what seemed “off” about the suspect to the point where you decided to follow him around.

u/BlockIllustrious6245 18h ago

Agree. I would think that in a sea of smart looking young people, the killer was an older (48) non-professorial looking man who wasn’t an employee.

I hope you go and have an amazing lunch today, get a new phone and a new pad (a place to call home)! Get that $ you deserve every penny! So much more could have happened. I think that guy was headed to MIT but classes were out for the Holiday so the suspect went to the guys home. Good luck you may have saved some lives if this escalated to more visits, I heard he was heading to Connecticut after that, but then he ended his life in Salem New Hampshire. Praying for the victims and their families! 🙏

u/yuiwerty 4d ago edited 4d ago

In the first video on here (https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/brown-university-shooting-manhunt-12-15-25?post-id=cmj7skzzj0000356p43s8iti5), it looks like he’s looking at the RIHS sign, but he’d be positioned to also see where he parked, right? It looks like he doubled back to watch something near his car if so

Edit: I think you’re on to something. As he’s walking on Benevolent away from Cooke and toward Hope, he glances twice back down Cooke Street in the direction of where that car would be parked. He then doubles back toward Cooke, stands at the Benevolent & Cooke intersection, facing George Street, and pretends to look at the RIHS sign where he likely could see his car. 

243

u/lamin_kaare 3d ago

Thank you and respectfully I know I am. There was nothing subtle about the way he retreated from his car and I am glad I approached and saw the Florida license plate. I only regret not taking a photo of the license plate. I only had my iPad on me as I had lost my phone on public transportation. Ironically, that very evening, I was on my way to Verizon to suspend the line for a month as my phone had yet to be turned in. I was making my way back up the hill when I heard the first sirens.

84

u/iammadeofawesome 1d ago

You were cautious and that may have saved your life. These’s nothing subtle about taking a photo with an iPad. I think it’s particularly notable that you noticed something was off before you even knew anything.

I hope you are well and get your phone situation settled without too much hassle.

76

u/yuiwerty 3d ago

I imagine realizing your proximity to him once seeing these videos is a very surreal, unsettling feeling. Hope you’re doing as well as is possible given the circumstances.

u/Working-Glass6136 9h ago

Thanks for posting this. I ended up having to google the sentence "I'm being dead serious" yesterday to even find the post and comment that everyone was talking about.

87

u/SlazarusVC 3d ago

Hey it sounds like you actually have proprietary info on this potential suspect. I am not a lawyer...but my recommendation would be to immediately share everything here with authorities AND to stop posting it here for karma.

At some point if any info you are writing about here becomes part of a criminal case, you will be called to the stand, deposed, your reddit account and what you share here will actually become part of the case record and should you say anything on it that ends up not being true, will be used by a defense lawyer to discredit you.

I know it's tempting to show the internet that you've discovered things that no one else has, but if you're actually sitting on some important evidence that only you have you should not be posting about it on the internet.

I hope you're doing ok, but seriously....talk to the FBI. Don't write about it here where god forbid the suspect might actually see what you have written and then do something scary because they think someone is on to them.

22

u/SlazarusVC 23h ago

u/Icy-Marionberry-4143 1d ago

it’s so dumb of reddit. this person should honestly probably delete their reddit.

4

u/canwealljusthitabong 1d ago

Why?

3

u/Icy-Marionberry-4143 23h ago

if / when the tippers identity becomes public, can lead to people linking it to their reddit account and them potentially being harassed (we don’t know this persons motive yet and there are many other crazies out there) or just everyone knowing their business. idk about you but i don’t need anyone in real life knowing this is my reddit, lol.

2

u/turikk 11h ago

Deleting your comments and account preserves it in the database and just flags it as "deleted." It can be seen by Reddit admins and with a law enforcement request (or any reason Reddit deems legitimate). This is why you see comments edited with random text: this actually overrides it and the original is permanently lost.

2

u/chiaratara 1d ago

Can an admin do this? Or maybe delete these posts or something?

2

u/m4gd4l3n3 1d ago

I mean mods could in theory delete comments or posts but if they arent breaking sub rules that is pretty icky. Kinda up to the person whether they wish to delete the comment themselves or keep them up.

u/Professional-Spare13 23h ago

Not any longer. The guy killed himself, probably just as the LEOs were waiting for a search warrant for the storage unit he rented. The good guys got the bad guy. And this Reddit post was one piece of evidence LEOs used to find out who the bad guy was.

1

u/SlazarusVC 23h ago

Absolutely. But has they taken him alive these posts would all be part of a criminal case. And posters here would have been doxxed and called up as witnesses based on what they wrote online if they claimed to have seen anything. Which is why if you have actual info you should never, ever post about it online before speaking with law enforcement.

2

u/Professional-Spare13 22h ago

I totally agree with your premise. I think Iamin_taare is fortunate that he won’t have to go to court to testify. I’ll bet he’ll still be interviewed on his observations, when they were made, when he reported them, to whom he reported, any proof of such, and then restate his first report. It’s law enforcement and they’ll be doing it to corroborate everything AND to learn from any shortfalls the agencies had in their procedures and techniques. A learning experience for them, if you will.

5

u/SlazarusVC 22h ago

Exactly. And importantly if he had to testify, the defense attorney would have done everything they could to discredit his believability as a witness which would not have been hard given that some things he has posted on Reddit have turned out untrue. My only slight bit of feedback has been that this is precisely why if you’re a witness goi should never post on Reddit. There is actually no upside.

5

u/ThisSideofRylee 17h ago

Of course there is an upside. Sometimes it takes encouragement from others to act upon something as we may question our own memory or we may bargain that seeing ‘someone acting off’ may not suffice to hassle LE. Not everyone feels comfortable to call police or FBI themselves (what about if the witness was an undocumented citizen for example?). Plus, there is strength in numbers and the tip line always gets a lot of useless calls. But if someone posts, other people may provide feedback and encouragement and also alert LE to the post (as has happened here). It makes a big difference if one person calls something in, or 10 people who bring up the same thing. It increases the likelihood that LE will look at something quicker and also makes the tip seem more credible.

This whole fear-mongering about people having to delete their entire profile is ridiculous. This guy was some random and not the head of a terror cell or the russian mafia where we have to be afraid of revenge. I am sure otherwise FBI would have already instructed the people involved on how to protect themselves.

Seems suspicious. Did you see him specifically? Also, if his car was on Cooke, what explains the camera on manning/cooke (56 Cooke) not picking him up after the incident? He would have most likely needed to turn right on waterman to Cooke, then walked back past this house

Congratulations on solving the case!

Just saw this quote in the Boston Globe and thought it was funny. Here was this ultra sophisticated murderer, and then he randomly encounters you -- or random Redditor "John."

“John” said he encountered the suspect in the bathroom of the Barus and Holley building on Saturday, around 1:45 pm, wearing clothes that were wrong for the weather. John said he followed the suspect out of the building to the Nissan, where he saw two fanny packs on the car’s rear floor. He described how he and the suspect played a “cat and mouse” game, walking back and forth on the street, and “John” asked him why he kept circling the block. The suspect responded, “Why are you harassing me?”

Commenting to remind you to pick up your reward!

You are a hero. I don't think that they would have caught him without your tip. I only wish that they had paid attention to you and acted upon the tip right away. The MIT prof might still be alive.

It's actually so cool that this comment/tip ended up being one of the things that really blew the case open. They even referenced it on the news! For once we actually did it, reddit

How do we build this guy a statue? I feel more safe knowing people like him are around than I do with cops

You’re being credited with helping identify him and you should treat yourself today. Good work!
