Well, it sounds as though you have something there, Jay. People don't seem to follow pool tournaments, so perhaps they'd like to watch some live gambling and banter a la "High Stakes Poker", or "Poker After Dark". Too bad we don't have as many characters playing today as we did 30 years ago...

Jay, I'm surprised that Schmidt agreed to play in the middle of those two.;) Was there a stipulation that Morro and Rafael could NOT speak Spanish? I've seen Morro and some others talk strategy to each other in Spanish, with the Anglo unable to understand that he was getting ganged up on.:D Doc

Yes it opened back up under new ownership 6-8 months after Katrina at the exact same locale, which is in Gulfport, Miss. It's called Skeeter's Billiards. It's actually a nicer looking place now, following the refurbishing. There are 5 Diamond and 8 Kim Steel 9-footers, a bunch of bar boxes...

I'd like to publicly than Eezbank for putting a lot of his own time in helping here. He's sent me many photos that he's gleaned from various state's DOC sites. I really appreciate your help, Eezbank! We're probably going to be asking for volunteers to look at certain pertinent websites to...

No, he was just an in-and-out customer. I think the suspect was sizing him up. He probably figured that the guy didn't have enough dough on him to fool with. The customer will never know how lucky he was... Doc

The guy in the dark shirt and ball cap is the owner of Skeeter's. In the 2nd vid he told the suspect that the credit card was no good. I believe the guy tried to use a second card, but he eventually begrudgingly simply paid in cash. I think his bar tab was only $11.00. The suspect had...

I think so too, Joey. He has a high forehead and a receding hairline, which combine to accentuate the slope of his forehead. Of course older pictures of him might not have him with a receding hairline. Doc

Don't know what kind of smokes. He drank domestic beer out long neck bottles, usually holding the beer in his right hand while keeping his left hand in his trouser's pocket. He played pool right handed, and he uses an unusual feet-together stance, while bending forward at the waist. At the...

Irock, I think they're trying to get the pictures enhanced. Thanks~ Doc

If I haven't already posted the other two videos, here they are: There are now about 23 minutes of video of the suspect. You can also just type in "Mike Surber videos" on YouTube, and get them all listed. ~Doc Mike Surber Murder Suspect Part One...

Eezbank, neither of these are the guy. I really appreciate your posting these. The guy has dark eyes, presumably brown. There again, it was in tavern lighting, so everything looks a little darker. Yes I could definitely identify the suspect, as could several other guys. ~Doc

Larry, I'll call Mike's brother to see if he'd like to help with the posters. But as Joey said, the sheer volume of posters we'd need would make it more practicable to construct an electronic wanted poster, so that people could download it for themselves: truck stops, poolrooms, taverns, etc...

This guy is "in the ball park", but I'm pretty sure it's not him. He actually looks a little more like Anhorn: http://www.dc.state.fl.us/absconder/detail.asp?Bookmark=1&From=list&SessionID=448634981 The suspect's forehead is high, and his nostril area is a little wider. The eyes are more...

Eezbank, there was no description or picture at this link. However that site may give us some info. I'll check it this evening. Thanks! ~Doc

Good tips, Alstl. You're right-- if he was incarcerated for that length of time it had to have been state or Federal. The Georgia DOC site is: http://www.dcor.state.ga.us/GDC/OffenderQuery/jsp/OffQryForm.jsp There are other states that have similar websites. Those who live in KY, TN, FL...

Mapman, thanks for your offer. I believe the name on one of the stolen credit cards was Jericho Cooper. The suspect of course is NOt Jericho Cooper. He had given no other name to any one of us at the poolroom. He did say that he had spent 8 years in prison. If that's true, he didn't say...

To answer a few of the points raised: The part 1 video is on YouTube. Part 2 will follow in a week or so. I was there while this whole thing with Mike occurred. The guy's dress shirt was a common make like one could buy at Sears or Penny's. The suspect played barbox pool with a random...

We finally have some video clips of Mike's suspected murder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC8Lv27_G4s It took a lot of time to convert the video from the unusual format used in this particular surveillance tape. The security tech pieced together segments of the tape, and timed them each to...

JAM, you're probably referring to Cocodrie, LA, which is approx. 30 miles south of Houma on Terrebonne Bay. Doc

Eezbank, there is a tech working on a 10 minute clip gleaned from an hour of surveillance video. Law enforcement finally gave the nod to putting it online and on YouTube, whenever it gets completed. When it's finished, we'll see that it gets put everywhere. Keep in mind, though, that the...
