Tinley Park killer’s hair could unbraid him

Brenna Ehrlich | Crime | Tuesday, 05 February 2008

The Tinley Park killer needs a better stylist. Maybe then could have avoided providing police with such a telltale identifying mark: his thick braids, one of which was bedecked with four green beads.
 
The Chicago Tribune reports that investigators are currently reaching out to barbershops and hair salons, on the lookout for anyone who recognizes the killer’s distinctive ‘do. It’s a headhunt—literally.
 
Many people are out for the man’s blood as more and more details emerge about the case—how he made sexual advances on at least one of the victims, and how he may have posed as a deliveryman to gain access to the store. Some even speculate that he picked a women’s store to avoid confrontation with men.
 
Here would be the perfect place to say “Be a man” to this coiffed criminal, but, in truth, the situation at this point has divulged past masculinity into inhumanity.
 
Let’s see what other bloggers are saying:
 
In his blog, Buckhorn Road, Chanman ruminates, “Although I know it to be true, I still sometimes have trouble coming to grips with the fact that there are people in this world who can be that evil.”
 
Scott Janz mentions on his blog that he used to live by the strip mall. “I just hope the catch this guy,” he says.
 
On her blog, Shapely Prose, Kate Harding says, “I know a lot of our readers have been (or are) LB employees and many more are customers; this hits awfully close to home. Our hearts go out to the women’s family and friends.”
 
Her blog even got the attention of Richard Roeper, who, in Monday’s Chicago Sun-Times discussed the possibility that the shooter targeted plus-sized women.
 
Whatever their stance, all bloggers came to the same conclusion: They want this man behind bars.
 
Perhaps a barber will be the one to put him there.
