Cops release possible suspect sketch & vehicle

The last anyone heard from Kristi Cornwell was on August 11, 2009.  Now, investigators say she may have been abducted by the same man who tried to abduct a woman in North Carolina a few days before.  Today, investigators released a sketch of a man they are looking for, and a possible vehicle he could be driving. 

Authorities say Kristi Cornwell was exercising in Blairsville, Georgia down Jones Creek Road when she was allegedly abducted.  Investigators say around 9:00 p.m., Kristi was on the phone with her boyfriend, who was in Atlanta at the time, when a car approached her, there was a struggle, and she was never seen again.  A reward of $50,000 is offered for information leading to the safe return of Kristi, or arrest/conviction to the person responsible for her disappearance.  Kristi’s family is extremely proactive in this case.  They started a website, they have frequent, sometimes daily searches of the area where she went missing, and they even auctioned off the family’s lake house property over the weekend to raise money to help find this missing mother.

Calvert County Maryland – 2 suspects wanted

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

This story hits close to home… it is in a town where I grew up, and it all went down yesterday. Calvert County Sheriff’s deputies are on the hunt for two armed men believed to have robbed a funeral home and a bank on November 30, 2009.

Investigators say the suspects entered the Lee Funeral Home, and may have thought it was the PNC bank located next door to the business.  I spoke with someone at Lee Funeral home earlier today, and he told me that it is not unusual for people to think it is the bank. Several times a month he has to escort people out and show them where to go.  He says two African American suspects entered, made it very clear what they intended to do, and when they realized they were at the wrong place — they bolted.  I spoke with Sheriff Mike Evans from the Calvert County Sheriff’s department earlier today, who is actively involved with finding these suspects. He told me one person inside the funeral home was pistol whipped, another person was assaulted, but thankfully everyone survived.  The police were called, arrived on location, but the men were gone.  Investigators believe the men traveled northbound on Route 4, and hid their car in a nearby shopping center parking lot to make their next hit – The SunTrust bank.
