Where is Robert Card? Canada border authorities issue ‘armed and dangerous’ alert

Robert Card, the main suspect in the Maine shooting incident in the US, is still at large. Notably, the Maine incident that happened on Wednesday, has caused the death of 18 people and left 13 others wounded at multiple locations.

According to a report by the New York Post, Card’s family’s longtime neighbour Rick Goddard has said that the suspect is a deer hunter “capable of hiding for a long time if he doesn’t want to be caught.”

“It’s his stomping ground. I mean, he grew up here. He knows the area really well. He’s capable of hiding for a long time if he doesn’t want to be caught. There’s a lot of places you can be in the woods and never be seen,” said Goddard.

“It’s really dense, thick woods. If you know the area, there’s a lot of places you can hide… you could never see something like that from an airplane or helicopter,” added Goddard.
