GUILTY NC - Valerie Hamilton, 23, Charlotte, 15 September 2010

New Posts

I'm so saddened to read this.

Such a lovely young lady. Prayers for her family.

Hope they catch this guy soon.
 
WSOC-TV (the ABC affiliate) just reported that Valerie's father will be interviewed on Good Morning America in the morning.
 
I am concerned because Harvey seems like such a loose cannon- very impulsive and accustomed to a criminal life style. He is surely aware that there is a manhunt going on for him and he knows he will probably get caught. Wouldn't such a person be likely to kill again?

Police are searching for a registered sex offender suspected of killing the daughter of a North Carolina police chief and hiding her body in a storage unit.

WANTED

Michael Neal Harvey
 
Inside of 34-year old Michael Harvey's Niagara Falls family home Sunday night, there were tears and anger. His family spoke with Eyewitness News exclusively in an off-camera interview, saying Michael couldn't have killed anyone. Michael was raised in Niagara Falls by his grandmother who legally adopted him. After finding out her son was wanted for murder, Michael's biological mother, sister and other relatives all gathered at Michael's family home, all of them saying he is innocent.

But in Charlotte, North Carolina there is a massive manhunt underway for Michael, who is a registered sex offender after being convicted of a 1996 rape in Niagara Falls.

Police believe Michael is driving a stolen 1996 white Chevy Blazer with North Carolina plates ZXE-1756. Charlotte police are not releasing details on Michael's relationship with the victim or confirming if they even knew each other. But, tonight the family in Niagara Falls is very upset about hearing the information, claiming Michael is the victim of police harassment.

:furious::furious::furious: Well he had them fooled didn't he.
 
If they didn't keep letting them out....what will it take to change our laws?

Yes, I consider Harvey armed and dangerous. LE is stating they believe he may still be in the Charlotte area, (not sure I believe it.) Assuming he's guilty, what's he got to lose? He may end up a suicide by cop.

Until he's caught, I'd advise people in the Charlotte area to be vigilant and not approach if he's seen.

Not seen further info on his White Chevy Blazer but it's possible he abandon it for another vehicle. One news report I saw reported it could be a two or four door, hope they clear that up some.

It wont surprise me if he tries to change his appearance, i/e cuts off his hair.

Hope we learn more on Good Morning America this morning. Thanks for the info Charlotte people.

Me too. I feel so bad for her family. I live a few miles from her apartment. It's really shocking when something like this happens in your city.

Per MSNBC, he has been arrested. They're talking about it now. In Niagra Falls, NY, where he has relatives.

Rest easy, Valerie. They got the bad guy.

Best-
