Robert Card, the suspect in the Maine massacre, has presumably written a note, law enforcement officials have informed CNN. The contents of the note strongly indicated that Card did not anticipate being alive when it was uncovered.
The message is likened to a potential suicide note. It has prompted authorities to expand their manhunt for Card, including searching the vicinity of the location where Card's vehicle was located.
The note essentially provided details to others about the whereabouts of certain items and how to dispose of them, ultimately implying that Card would not be alive when the note was discovered or read.
Law enforcement agencies are tracing the logical sequence of leads, which includes contemplating the subsequent actions that Card might have pursued.
To aid in this effort, divers have been dispatched to comb the Androscoggin River.
Furthermore, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) will be conducting examinations to determine if there is a correlation between the firearm and the bullets and shell casings retrieved from the two crime scenes.
On Thursday, investigators carried out a thorough search of Robert Card's vehicle, leading to the discovery of a .308-caliber AR15 rifle. According to an additional source in law enforcement speaking to CNN, this firearm closely resembles the weapon employed in the assault, both in terms of description and caliber.
On Thursday, authorities executed a minimum of three search warrants, targeting his vehicle, residence, and an additional property, as reported by an undisclosed source.
