Finally a lead. May they trace it and find the killer. Then he should rot in prison. Why doesn't NY have the death penalty? In this case it is deserved.

i think to be in prison is worse than to be dead. let the cops capture him and let him have a lesson the hard way.

I believe they do it on purpose ! When a suspect hide its very hard to get him so they roll out info the suspect gets nerves than he calls a friends to help him or he start doing something crazy than they catch him easy ;

Be careful what you wish for. If they arrest the killer and his name is Grossman will you write to the Governor that he should be spared because he is a Jew., or does this only come up in Florida? I am against the death penalty, but I agree when he is convicted he should rot in prison until the day he dies.

Show some respect for the man zt"l and his family, let him have a measure of dignity even on this worthless forum. This is a Jewish man.
