Did a Key Tip Lead to the Discovery of a Mass Shooter's Body?

Chris Poole, a former manager at Maine Recycling Corporation, provided a tip to law enforcement that may have led to the discovery of the body of Robert Card, the suspect in the Lewiston mass shooting. Poole remembered a series of running trails that connected the recycling facility to a boat ramp, where police eventually found Card's car. He guided authorities to the location and showed them a map of the area. After searching for four hours, police discovered Card's body in one of the trailers at the back of the recycling facility.

The tip from Poole, who was contacted by the FBI, adds another piece to the puzzle of how authorities were able to locate Card. However, the FBI could not confirm if Poole's tip was the one that directly led them to Card's body, as they had received hundreds of tips during the investigation.

Poole emphasized the importance of offering any information to law enforcement, even if it may seem insignificant compared to other tips. He stated, "If you see something, say something." The FBI expressed its gratitude for the tips and stressed the need to keep sources confidential to encourage future informants.

The discovery of Card's body brings some relief to the community after 48 hours of fear and lockdown following the shooting. The investigation into the events leading up to the rampage and the authorities' knowledge of Card's threats and mental health condition is ongoing.
