Roadside killer on MPD's radar
MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - 74 year-old Tom Schlender of Raymond, Nebraska was one of two people perhaps randomly picked by the same roadside killer.
The other victim was a casino worker name Lori Carswell who was also shot and killed on the shoulder of a North Mississippi highway three days later.
"At this point, the person has not surfaced here in this area," said Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong. "But that's not to say that he won't."
Director Armstrong is not overly worried the roadside killer will strike in the city. However, he still had department representatives meet with counterparts in Mississippi to discuss the case.
"We're in constant contact with each other," said Armstrong.
Investigators suspect the suspect posed as a police officer to get his victims to pull over possibly by using blue lights while driving a Ford Crown Victoria.
