The suspect has ties to the US, Canada and Egypt. It is probably hard to live "under the radar" in Canada. This goes double for a non Canadian with limited acculturalization to either English or French speaking Canada. Likewise, the subject could well have fled the United States. Living here 'under the radar" is also fairly difficult.
That leaves Egypt or another Arabic speaking country, Arab nations, however, have immigration policies that make Donald Trump's seem lenient. Nobody, not even other Arabs, simply get off the plane and move in. So, my guess is that he eventually drifted back to his home country of Egypt.
The award poster needs to be in Arabic and distributed in Egypt. The hunt for the 9-11 senior Al Queda figures featured the man's photo and reward info being put on matchbooks. He had the resources to go deep underground. This man does not- and alot of Egyptians both smoke and could use $100,000.
We should:
- Start a letter writing campaign to the State Department to make this case a priority. The letters could include references to the matchbooks and the possibility of also the State department distributing say, calendars with his picture / reward info to arabic grocery stores in Canada the USA and selected "choke point" locations in Egypt. Egyptian PIs should also be consulted with cash and any recommendations that they have implemented.
He probably is. And that is where the $100,000 reward presented in the right way in the right communities comes in. That money can melt any community loyalty that the guy has. It just needs to be presented in a way that makes it real- not hypothetical.
