As an Ohioian and someone who has visited the Columbus area many times, I am so relieved they caught him. Relieved for all the residents up there that have been terrorized by this sicko for almost a year.

Conrad Malsom, 60, of Las Vegas said he told authorities he met McCoy at the Stardust casino Tuesday. He said he offered McCoy a slice of pizza but recognized the disheveled-looking man with a darkening beard.

McCoy was reading a copy of USA Today that featured his photograph, Malsom said.

NO WAY! This moron made it to Vegas. No way he walks!!!!!!
About time they caught this sorry excuse for a human! BTW i failed to mention about a month or so ago i was traveling on the same stretch of interstate (i71-north of Columbus) when he last struck. He however was just to the north of where i get on that highway going to Columbus when he struck that day. :eek:

Either way this one needs to die. :grrr: :grrr: :grrr: :grrr: :grrr:
They should actually stick him out on that highway and let all those people he took pop shots at take pop shots at him and end it with the woman who he did kill family taking the last blow and ending his miserable life!

I'm sure glad they caught this guy. Ohio is such a key battleground state in the fall. I was worried he might try to start sniping at our presidential candidates.

He should have the full book thrown at him. Despicable crimes.

Sure it is great that they caught this individual.

However, you should really feel bad for him, he has schizophrenia. It isn't like he wants to be the way he is.

He obviously shouldn't of been allowed to drive and out and about.

Pardon me, but a "diminished capacity" defense doesn't wash re: this creep. I KNOW his shyster will play that card, but he still has to convince "twelve men and true", and I hope they don't buy it any more than I would. :grrr:

By all means he should be brought to justice, but it isn't like he doesn't have a mental disability.
