'Preciate yours and Nick's posts. I'm not aware of anything new on Mike's killer's hunt. But I'm still optimistic that they'll discover who he is (was)-- dead or alive. And I too would be in the front row at the trial. The FBI has good info, so the pos may turn up yet.

Thanks for the responses, men. Still, if anyone knows a Filipino with connections, or has a source for the posted rules they use in their country, I'd love to see them. ~Doc

AtLarge and PT109 have weighed in on the rules for Filipino rotation, which is helpful. I'm wondering if anyone on the site who is Filipino could dig out the posted rules of rotation from some Filipino source that has an English translation, or could provide an English translation? The basic...

Dardusm, they actually do have DNA from the suspect. I believe it was obtained from a cigarette butt. That relates to part of the good news last year: that the FBI @ Quantico had a new method of analysis of evidence, and would be using it in this case. But the fact is that the national DNA...

Very nice work by Spliced, JAM, and others here on AZ! There are some similarities, but my honest feeling is that this is not Mike's murderer. For one thing, the guy is too young. JAM posted a pic on AZ of the current pictured guy, which was take 3 years after the murder, and he's obviously too...

Catch Mike Surber's murderer Just got a phone call from Agent Burton from the FBI. He said that they had updated and improved Mike's page and poster on the "Seeking Information" portion of their website. The suspect's pics look a smidge better after the FBI's enhancement, but they had very...

We just heard from Mike's brother, Steve, who believes that the reward fund will possibly grow to over $25,000, when new expected income is added. Mike's cue collection is being sold, so that money will add to the fund. He's been in touch with the FBI, but so far, nothing concrete has come up...

Yeah, I'm sure Harry was trying to sneak up on you. He played all the games well, but would pick his spots very carefully to where no one really knew his speed. He was like a hawk who didn't waste time chasing around, and would only attack to kill a sure thing. I got along with him okay, but...

In the late '60s around Hollywood and the Valley, you had Hollywood Jack, Tony Ola, Jerry Matchin, Coke, Fitz, Louie St. Pierre (The Magic Man), John Henderson, Harry Cohen; and in billiards, Allen Gilbert (Gold) and Jose Torres. I can recall other faces, but not the names. ~Doc

Thank you very much, Mike, for making the Surber reward thread into a sticky! Hopefully renewed interest in this case will produce some results. Someone has seen this guy, someone knows him. For those who would like to donate to this effort, the GoFundMe and PayPal accounts are listed. We're...

The suspect took as an alias the name Jericho Cooper from a credit card he stole. The real Cooper was a completely uninvolved victim. ~Doc

I'm not sure about prints, Jay. They do have DNA. And evidently they're running some more sophisticated tests at Quantico. There is a back log, however. ~Doc

We've added a PayPal account, and have corrected the GFM URL. Thanks very much for your help. ~Doc

Mike Surber's brother, Steve, has put up a $10,000 reward for info leading to info & arrest of Mike's murderer. We have also opened a "Go Fund Me" account for donations to add to the reward. We are hoping that folks who can spare a few bucks will sweeten the pot so as to re-kindle and sharpen...

Yes, they do have DNA evidence, reportedly from a cigarette butt. Since Mike didn't smoke, they know it's from the suspect. The agent didn't say which evidence is being re-examined at Quantico. But, as BRLongArm on onepocket.org said, the new "touch DNA" process is now used to re-open old...

At Joey A's suggestion, I contacted the FBI agents who had interviewed me about the case back in March. I just spoke with the secondary agent on the case. He said to check the FBI's cold case posting on their website, which has been featured recently...

What an educational, delightful and entertaining challenge this has been!! I can't say enough good about Dr. Dave, Bob Jewett, and the crew for what they have done to reveal the science of pool over the years. For example Dave's slo-mo videos alone are a continuous reference for those who want...

Here's a link to a copy of the recently enhanced video of Mike's killer. It's still not great, but anyone who has studied these new pics would probably be able to recognize the guy. Soon the techs who enhanced the video are going to have an internet blitz to law enforcement, pool sites, pool...

Hi JAM! Yes, there are a few similarities: the eyes, the nose. However "Cooper's" forehead was taller, and his brow was fairly prominent. The Texas guy may be a wee bit tall as well. If he's showing nearly 5' 10" in the 2nd photo on AZb, Mike's killer was roughly 5' 7" to 5' 8". The suspect...

Hi JAM! Unfortunately, this is not the guy. He's too short, too squat, and his eyes are wrong. It's wonderful that y'all are still trying to find this guy. Special kudos to Eric from the forums, who has never stopped looking at mug shots to send to me. My sense is that the case has fizzled...
