those of their friends and neigh
bors and fully appreciate the spirit
of citizenship which m o i V a t
these people. The great drawback
to this, however, is that while
they are moving about, other
people see them, and thinking that
they may be the suspect, report it
to the police thus consuming valu-
able time, or even worse take
action themselves. The taking of
human life is a serious and
terrible matter, and to kill an in
nocent person, who is trying to
help, would be an irreparable
tragedy. Therefore, your City
Government asks for your coopera-
ton in the following manner
First, see to the security of your
own home. Lock all doors and
windows, outside lights and even
lights left on indoors through the
night will be of great help. Second,
do not prowl about at night. If
you want to help, stay in your
home and keep watch. If one per-
son in every home were to do this,
it would be impossible for this
man to act without being SEEN If
you do see someone acting sus-
piciously, try to note as much as
possible of his description, both of
his person and clothing. If it is a
vehicle try to ascertain tag num-
ber, make, model, and color, and
direction of travel
Call the police. Tell them exactly
where the suspect is, and what he
is doing. Do nothing to make him
suspect that he has been observed.
Your Police Department has teams
set up and ready to move in at
moments notice, if you alarm the
suspect, he will be gone before we
can arrive Write down the num-
ber of the police department. (422-
8081 or 422-S082) and place it by
your phone. Third, do not repeat
| rumors = these only serve to COM
pound and aggravate the situation,
and use time that could be well
spent in tracking this man down.
Here is description of the man
we are seeking. Male - feet or
| taller, slender build with broad
| shoulders, small waist and hips.
Dark brown or black hair, wavy
or curly; brown eyes, complexion
| is that of a person of Latin ex-
| traction. This man has good white
| teeth, is pleasant looking and uses
| a soft liquid manner of speech. He
usually wears a light tan jacket,
blue shirt and blue pants of a
dress-work type. We ask you to
remember that, while this man is
mentally unbalanced, he is in all
probability a man of high intelli-
gence, and probably appears and
acts normally in all other aspects
We, of your Police Department,
deeply appreciate the patience and
understanding displayed by t h e
great majority of the citizens of
| Milford in this matter, and warmly
| receive the encouragements d
| offers of help you have given. (The
| Delaware State Police, and other
units of City and State Govern
| ment, are cooperating in the all
| out effort to apprehend this man.
And with the added strength of the
| citizens of Milford, this man can
| not long escape ultimate justice.
