Biloxi Mike Murdered!!!!

"He won $900 dollars, and I lost $300," his friend Andrew McLean remembered. "On the way home, he said, 'Andy. how'd you do?' I said, 'I lost $300.' At a stop light, he pulled $300 out and said, 'Thanks for coming with me.'"

Pretty much speaks volumes right there doesn't it?
 
The word on the grapevine is that "Jericho Cooper" may be heading for Tunica. If that's so, we'd ask our Tunica area viewers (including Memphis) to be on the lookout for him at taverns, poolrooms, and casinos.

This is just a tip. This is not known for sure. He evidently was known to be in Jackson on November 15th.

Was this information passed on to the police about Tunica?
 
I have been following this unfortuate murder since the beginning.

I just wanted to reiterate what JoeyA posted earlier.

If anyone happens to see this Jerico A-hole anywhere, please just call the police.

I know emotions run high and vengence may seem appropriate, the last thing we need is for someone to try to take matters into their own hands and get hurt or killed.

This guy WILL BE CAUGHT, its just a matter of time. He is way too stupid not to.

RIP - Mike Surber.......

Clay, I assume that's where it originated, but I don't know. I heard the tip from Jerry P.

I'm wishing that the investigators would use the pool sites more in this case-- sort of like miniature versions of "America's Most Wanted".

I used to see John Walsh of America's Most Wanted all the time on Wisconsin Avenue in D.C. at the Fox offices. In fact, I am driving over that way later today to do my grocery shopping for the week at Safeway, which is about two blocks from there. I may just have Keith run an envelope to the AMW offices with print-outs of this information, along with the picture.

Barb, if you read this in time, please e-mail me a wanted poster/picture at RailbirdJAM-at-AOL-dot-com.

Either way, I can print it out from the Sun Herald paper.

The only drawback I can predict ahead of time of them running the story is that this Jerico Cooper at the time of this writing is not considered the alleged perp; rather, he's a so-called "party of interest."

That said, it doesn't hurt to try. This is EXACTLY what this TV show is all about.

I am going to send an e-mail RIGHT NOW here: http://www.amw.com/contact/

Here is another place to e-mail them entitled "My Story": http://www.amw.com/mystory/

If every single person who has contributed to this thread takes the time to write America's Most Wanted in one of the above links, we might get more publicity about this senseless murder of a man loved by all.

Then I am going to follow it up by delivering hard-copy materials to the Fox offices on Wisconsin Avenue in D.C.

If we get the wanted person of interest go ahead then I will.
We are waiting for a phone call back from Captain Flowers (i think
i might be bumping him up in rank, maybe that will help, lol)
If not there are some good ones on here and I will be doing a thingy
and printing it at kinko's.
i am going to bed now
thanks for doing the most wanted thing
hugs

America's Most Wanted
C/o Fox Television
WTTG Building
5151 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20016

Dear America's Most Wanted:

Attached please find print and online media articles in reference to the homicide of Mike Surber of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, whose body was found on November 12, 2009.

His death was ruled a homicide by the Ocean Springs Police Department on Sunday, November 15, 2009.

Lieutenant John Flowers of the Ocean Springs Police Department is in the process of an ongoing investigation. They are looking for a "person of interest" who goes by the name of "Jericho Cooper." They have a grainy video picture of Cooper which was captured by a video when he was leaving Skeeter's Billiards in Gulfport on Tuesday night, November 10, 2009.

Officers found Surber's body inside his home at 6:20 p.m., Thursday, November 12, 2009, after Gulfport Councilman Ricky Dombrowski and other friends went to Surber's home in Ocean Springs to check on him. Surber's car had been in the parking lot for two days without moving, which is why Dombrowski and friends went to his home initially, only to see his lifeless body laying on the floor.

Please contact the Ocean Springs Police Department to learn more, but I am writing to you in hopes that you may broadcast the video picture of the "person of interest." Mike Surber was well loved by the national billiards community, as well as his family and friends. Please help us find the person who murdered this kind soul.

Sincerely,


XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Look at the outrage of this murder that we have all expressed on this thread.

OK, the surveillance photo has been out for a while now and it is not very good. Has there been any other information from the police at all?

For instance, did they get this guy's car/truck on video and therefore know exactly the make and model and perhaps the tag #? And if so, is there an APB out on the vehicle?

Have they released any info on fingerprint findings? Certainly they've got this guy's prints on something. And, as I said at the outset of this tragedy, chances are very good this guy is in the system, so once they get his prints they will know who it is. This would mean they would know his real first and last name AND they would have a much better photo of what the guy looks like. They would know if he had any identifying characteristics like scars/tattoos/birthmarks, etc. The would know his height and weight and eye color. The would know if he goes by any other names. They would know of associates he may have.

Have we heard about anything new or any movement/progress in the case since the grainy photo was put out?
 
We shall not forget Biloxi Mike and won't rest until his murderer is arrested.

I have contacted America's Most Wanted, and my next move will be to circulate some hard-copy media coverage to the Members of Congress and Senators from the State of Mississippi.

Now the casino community has been notified to be on the lookout for the so-called "person of interest," Jericho Cooper, right here in this link: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...onal-pool-player-murdered-please-help-640468/
 
Last known address, motor vehicle picture of POI

I was wondering if the police have this PERSON OF INTEREST'S last known address or if the credit card that he attempted to use in Gulfport, MS matched up with a drivers license description.

If the police have a credit card number which they do, they should be able to obtain a last known address. If they have a last known address they should be able to go to the Motor Vehicle Department in that state and do a search for this person and obtain a better picture as well as an old address.
I don't understand a lot of things about this investigation and others have vouched for the officer in charge of this investigation, I can't see the harm in providing the above information.

I have the utmost respect for law enforcement officials. There are many things that go on behind the scenes that I'm sure we may not be aware of and should not be aware of.

That said, I was totally surprised that when I called the Ocean Springs Police Department this past Saturday, the number provided in all of the print media associated with this mudrer, I could only leave my e-mail address for LT John Flowers. They have no e-mail capability there. There is no e-mail link on the websit for this police department. It was a little unsettling. Maybe I'm just used to the "big city" ways, but they should at least have e-mail capabilities.

The telephone operator of the police department said that LT Flowers was at home, that she could call him up, but I thought it better for me to just leave my e-mail address, not wanting to disturb him, so that I could send him a copy of the letter I am circulating to others, with his name mentioned in it as the POC for Ocean Springs Police Department. I thanked the lady on the phone for delivering my e-mail address.

I am wondering how many people may have called the Ocean Springs Police Department, like me, with maybe some important information about this murder.

Is it possible that some heat needs to be put on the heat? I'm not sure, and I don't even like thinking this way, but it's the not knowing and LACK OF INFORMATION FROM THE INVESTIGATOR(s) that is bothersome. It lets one's imagination run wild, wondering what is going on, who's doing anything, is the case cold, et cetera, et cetera, all the while this Jericho Cooper character roams the earth and Biloxi Mike had his life stolen from him.

I feel the same way JAM. I called the Ocean Springs police department and was not able to speak to the officer in charge of the investigation.

I asked that he return my phone call concerning this case. HE DID NOT RETURN MY PHONE CALL.
