MBI following hundreds of tips to catch highway killer

DESOTO COUNTY, MS- (WMC-TV) - The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said it has gotten hundreds of tips, but none of them have cracked the case of the highway killer yet.

They will continue to investigate each and every one as if it may be the tip they need to catch the person responsible for two shooting deaths on North Mississippi highways.

Investigators said there is a chance the killer could cross state lines and they are on high alert.

As investigators continue to dig up new leads, police and sheriff's deputies are being vigilant in search of anything unusual.

One of the victims was 74-year-old Tom Schlender from Raymond, Nebraska.

Miss. officials urge drivers to use caution pulling over for flashing lights

MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) – The Mississippi Highway Patrol is warning drivers to be cautious while being pulled over as they investigate two deadly highway shootings.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol's Bureau of Investigation said there are similarities between both incidents.

"The concern is that someone is posing as a law enforcement officer and that is how these vehicles end up on the side of the road," said MBI Director Lt. Col. Larry Waggoner in a written statement.

Both deadly shootings happened on Mississippi highways.

"I know there are a lot of rumors. We don't know anything right now that is concrete. Due to some of the evidence at the scene, lead us to believe both subjects that were killed were on the side of the road. You can speculate about different things. We are not eliminating anything as a possibility on how they got on the side of the road," said John Champion, district attorney.

Breathalyzers come to Square in Oxford

MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) – Bar patrons in Oxford can use breathalyzers to see how much they've had to drink, but police say before patrons get behind the wheel there's something they should know.

With the swipe of a card or just a few dollars, the machines aim to let customers know when they've had too much to drink.

Bar patrons blow into the machine for the 3 to 5 seconds to get their reading, said Seth Kellum.

While many people feel the machines will get people's attention, others aren't sure people will believe them.

"I feel like you can take it somewhat seriously, but you definitely can't rely on it," said Bradley Carver.

However, others said that the machines would make them think twice.

One man said me that he had two drinks and believed he was under the legal limit. However, when he took the test his BAC registered a .12.
