UPDATE: it appears that the name that is out there (Orlando...) is NOT the suspect.

 

CNN says someone called the guy at home and he answered.

So is this a former station employee or not?

But my understanding is that it is a WDBJ employee or ex Employee.

 

But is it the one that wanted to run the story on the company that is a big advertiser with the station?

I will have to get back to you on that but I think that thought may have changed.

No. Orlando Salinas, who was doing that story, is not the suspect.

Here's the story on the Crandall at Law with Salinas thing.

Sounds like they may be tracking him by pinging his phone

I can't understand the rules of the world we are living in these days.

 

Apparently, there are no rules. This is just beyond comprehension.

Makes me wonder then if Alison was specifically targeted by the gunmen.

One report is the guy was a reporter at the station and replaced by this young lady.

 

He is accusing this station of a coverup of something locally and was scheduled to be on a radio show this morning to discuss it.

 

It's about a lawyer in town, Crandall and some shady schemes he claimed to find. The station wouldn't let him do the story as Crandall is a huge client. But his actions today show how unstable he really was.

 

Yikes...

Looks like he was a reporter at some point.

The Governor was the first to mention him as an ex employee on WTOP this morning. Here is a link to some facts we know:
