I submitted a tip

[kamy]

About two weeks ago, I submitted a tip to UM through the website. I was driving on I-30 in Dallas, TX and had a white older styler toyota tacoma behind me for about 5 miles. I took the 635-N exit and he took it behind me as well. The exit is always backed up so I set for about 3 minutes waiting for my turn to enter the highway. I noticed the man behind me and immediately got chills. He looked sooooo much like the composite of the man that is the suspect in the Alicia Showalter-Reynolds case...you know the guy that gets woman to pull over telling them they have car troubles and then attempts to kidnap them?
I shrugged it off but kept trying to get a better look at him. I got his plate number (via the voice memo option on my cell phone!) and submitted the tip when I got to work. Chances are slim that it's actually him, but it creeped me out enough that I felt I had to at least report it. I've heard nothing yet, if I ever will.

Just thought I'd share that with ya'll.

Wow Kamy good for you for letting UM know that! You never know. Keep us updated! I believe that case was just on today btw.

Glad you were not like that Crystal Spencer hair couple that decided to do nothing.

There is nothing to lose by simply calling.

Just as long as you didn;t pull a Dennis Depue and followed the guy!!

I think that's great. Even if it comes to nil, you've still done the right thing.

I remember reading somewhere that Michael Nicholau was a possible suspect in the Alicia Showalter-Reynolds case. Apparently the PI who's investigated the Valley Killer murders in New Hampshire and Vermont as part of her research on Nicholau leans pretty strongly towards it being him, as he lived in the area at the time. Who knows, though. I don't really think Nicholau resembles the composite, but he's a definite dead ringer for the Valley Killer sketch.

Please keep us all posted.

I agree. Besides, it's better to submit a tip that eventually doesn't pan out than to fail to submit a tip only to find out too late that the tip was legitimate.

Plus, it may add valuable data in eliminating a suspect or clarifying certain details.
