Pinellas detectives interview missing cadet's boyfriend

Video at link above.

However, they say, he was not willing to speak with them.

In fact, Perry began to yell at the detectives and took off running out of the local police station in Elmira, New York.

He drove off and refused to speak with anyone.

Misleading headline. JMHO

He is not yet classified as a suspect.

He may not be an "official suspect"; but his actions are certainly suspect! This man is obviously hiding something. Why run from the police? Why not speak about his missing girlfriend? Because he knows exactly where she is and what happened to her.

http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/19...ly-Rothwell-has-new-girlfriend-from-Las-Vegas

David Perry has moved on to a new woman he met off of the Craig's List website, according to Pinellas detectives. He met his new girlfriend just two weeks after Kelly went missing....

Detectives say Perry told friends in New York that he now wants to move to Hawaii and begin a new life.

Detectives say they warned Melissa about Perry and his past.

Detective Michael Bailey from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said, "She told us she didn't care and that they worked everything out. We warned her. She said she could no longer assist us in the investigation and [search for Kelly]."...

However, Perry's daughters, Brittany and Brandy, both in their early 20s and each married, refused to cooperate and answer any questions.

Unbelievable! The girlfriend looks a lot younger than he is too (just like Kelly was). The "new" girlfriend even refuses to talk to the detectives! His daughters refuse to cooperate. What kind of hold does this creep have on these women?

I have a distinctly bitter taste in my mouth!

Missing cadet case: Boyfriend now suspect

liltexans · Jun 26, 2011

This article is from June 15th, but I didn't see it posted here yet.

"His bizarre behavior and lack of cooperation, coupled with [the fact that] detectives recently learned Perry began a new relationship with another woman shortly after Rothwell disappeared, has detectives now naming him a suspect in her disappearance," the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.

Thanks for this update! Just a matter of time, now...

I'm always amazed when there's a girlfriend waiting in the wings - don't they think the same thing could happen to them?

Missing Police Cadet: five-month anniversary

She had a future full of promise and a heart filled with goodness.

Kelly Rothwell, her mother says, never said a bad word about anyone.

The young police cadet was the type of woman who would look for the good in people, including her boyfriend, ex-prison guard David Perry. David and Kelly had a tumultuous relationship for several years before she summoned the courage to break up with him.

That was five months ago.

[snip]

Detective Bailey said, "He's supposed to be gone for a month. Probably about a week from now is the time frame in which he has to be back. We'll find out if he's going to return from Hawaii or not."

Wow, I have been hearing alot of fraud cases recently. Just last week they had caught about 20 people defrauding the Tax Collector of Palm Beach County but of course none of these people are suspects in disapperance cases.

Group from NC Spotlight Kelly's Case

With the shimmering blue water of Tampa Bay as a backdrop, advocates from the North Carolina-based CUE Center for Missing Persons gathered with locals to remember Kelly Rothwell, a 35-year-old woman who went missing in March from her Gulf beach condo. A guitarist sang songs, Rothwell's best friend read a poem and people released butterflies toward the sky.

I live on the boarder of Pinellas, know it well. I wish I could figure out where she could be so that they had a case against the POC.

OldSteve · Nov 23, 2011

Thanks for posting that link Sleuthster - most interesting! I'm amazed when a gal marries a guy who has cheated on his wife - in that the new gal thinks somehow her Mr. Right won't cheat on her.
Well, this raises that amazement to a whole new level!
