I'm not getting any indication at this construction site.
00:02
I'm just going to put my dog up in the car for a little bit.
00:04
Let him get some rest, and then I'm going to go to Woody's spot and then try from there.
00:08
K4. Who's east of Woody's position?
00:11
Adams in Lakeview.
00:12
And 4.05, I'm inside that Cottage Grove Mobile Home Park just east of...
00:17
...on Jeffords and South Buddy.
00:19
...five any one you code for?
00:23
No, 4-Hod. Copy a G27-H...
00:26
All right, let me get a unit.
00:28
What street is this? Jeffords, that's just north of us, up this plaza.
00:32
So the Lincoln has that way.
00:33
I'm just not seeing enough red of blue lights around here.
00:36
Okay, uh, K4 to Walzer, can you come back here?
00:38
Yeah, that's one.
00:39
I don't need any more units west of this store, so if everybody just kind of went to set up east of...
00:45
You're back, you're car right.
00:46
Is that nice?
00:47
That's your car. Yeah, just pick a stage real quick.
00:49
K4, I just did a drive-thru.
00:50
We have a pretty decent box.
00:52
Copy. Like I said, I'm going to give my dog just a little bit of rest.
00:54
I mean, the longer he sits in this box, the if he's in this box, the better it will be for us.
00:59
But the only indication I was getting was east, and the winds are coming out of the north-northeast, so I think we might have just missed somewhat of a northeast turn.
01:05
I copy.
01:06
107, the victims have sent over a picture.
01:09
He's carrying a pretty large white bag with him.
01:12
And the group home is not missing anybody, correct?
01:14
The group home is missing one person, (name withheld), who matches the description of our suspect.
01:19
White male, long hair.
01:21
Medium length long hair.
01:23
Yeah. K4 to Walser, if you want to just send the picture up to Com Supervisor and they could attach it to the call.
01:28
I want to see what he looks like before I deploy the dog.
01:29
Yeah, except for the pictures kind of psychosolteress.
01:32
Anybody familiar with this kid, does he have any ties to any of these residences besides the boys' home?
01:37
He doesn't.
01:38
Copy. Okay, for him, I'm going to press any of these as a picture as well.
01:40
If we have a big picture, can we show it to group home staff, see if they can identify them?
01:45
It's in for it right over there.
01:46
Okay, for if I could just get one more unit, just be east of 133 spot on Lakeview.
01:53
One eleven next step south.
01:55
Yeah, I'm just going off of the map and there's just too many units that are stacked up against each other.
02:00
Just wind out a little bit.
02:01
You're on Pinellas, right in Adams?
02:02
Yeah, I think it's like (number withheld).
02:05
Adams, I'm not on Pinellas, but someone else.
