Hundreds of law enforcement officers descended on southern Maine this week, searching for a military-trained outdoorsman who vanished after police say he killed 18 people in two separate shootings Wednesday.
The deceased ranged in age from 14 to 76. A teen bowler, a shipbuilder and a sign language interpreter were among the dead.The search for Robert Card, 40, of Bowdoin, involved both old-fashioned footwork and advanced technology, but for almost two days after the shooting there was still no sign of Card by air, water or land.. Card is believed to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
Dive teams with the state police and other agencies searched from below, Sauschuck said, with some of the divers being towed behind boats. Other equipment included trawlers, which use nets or other devices to sift through the water, and a robotic submarine equipped with sonar to detect objects using sound waves.
A spokesperson for Maine's Department of Public Safety did not immediately respond to questions about the exact types of tools that were used for the land search. A digital tip line set up by the FBI so that people could submit security camera footage and other media that could reveal clues about the shooting or Card's movements had received more than 100 submissions, Sauschuck said.
Colder temperatures expected this weekend would have made it easier to use thermal search equipment, Sauschuck said during the afternoon press conference.
