Thanks, Jay. That was a great idea! The bigger and denser of net that we throw out, the more likely that someone will recognize this guy. There is a lot more going on than we know. My guess is that they have a pretty good idea of this guy's actual identity-- which will make it a little...

These are silly rumors. The "person of interest" never played pool at Skeeter's. No one had ever seen him before. He had asked Mike and Jerry if they liked to gamble, then later said Mike was too good. My guess is that he did not want to play pool, but rather was just trying to learn if Mike...

You're right about that, Joe. These criminal con types are very cunning-- always looking for a hook or an opening. The peculiar part is that the guy didn't play pool that day. He might not even play pool at all. He just came on to Mike through a gambling question, then later with an...

Jen and Joey, I called Lt. Flowers today to get permission from him to use his cell number to give to "America's Most Wanted". He said that would be fine. He never gets a chance to check his messages from the main police dept. line, since it's all he can do to keep up with his personal line...

Jen, I and all of Mike's friends here in Mississippi are very grateful that you're taking these steps to aid the investigation and apprehension of Mike's murderer. You're going way beyond the call of duty, and I really appreciate it. The local police department in Ocean Springs is being...

Johnny, I'm not sure how their format worked. But if they'd simply just return to playing one shot shoot-out like they used to, you'd see players going for more difficult shots. You'd also see the better players winning a majority of the tournaments. Texas Express is a lot like Texas Hold...

It's now been 10 days since I saw this guy in person. But I believe his nose is actually a little broader than it appears in this picture. They did the best they could, but with the brightening of the right side of his face, and with the left side being totally in shadow, his nose appears...

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". Doc

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...

We'll be working on that one, Jeff. Thanks~ Doc

I attended Mike's service at Bradford-O'Keefe funeral home in Biloxi. It was heart warming for me to see many more people there than I had anticipated. It was a very large room, and about 3/4 of the pew seats were occupied. Mike had specifically requested in his will that there be no funeral...

Jam, my personal opinion based on witnessing the meeting between Mike and this "person of interest" is that the guy knew nothing whatever of Mike until he spotted him at Skeeter's that afternoon. My gut feeling is that the guy was on the prowl for a victim, and the guy focused in on Mike...

That is definitely the guy I saw with Mike at Skeeter's. I don't believe he was a 6-footer though. I'm guessing he was more like 5' 9", 5' 10" tops. Probably 170 pounds. Mike was only 5' 5" or so, and this guy wasn't all that much taller. What was distinctive about the guy was his manner...

I spoke with Lt. Flowers of the Ocean Springs, Miss. police dept. today. They're still keeping the investigation status close to the vest, but it sounds like they have some good leads. Evidently the presumed suspect (my phrase) has left a paper trail in Jackson, Miss., and also Atlanta. I...

The funeral for Michael "Biloxi Mike" Surber will be held on Wednesday, November 18 at 2 P.M. It will be at Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home at 675 Howard Ave., Biloxi, Miss. 39530. Bradford-O'Keefe's phone number is: 228-374-5650. It is my understanding that, because there was an autopsy, the...

I phoned Lt. Flowers of the Ocean Springs police dept. on Friday to tell him I could definitely identify the suspect. He has not returned my call. I'll phone again tomorrow to let him know about the network of pool websites, and to suggest posting a photo or an artist's composite for everyone...

There's no doubt in my mind that they'll get plenty of fingerprints left by this guy. There was also surveillance video of him in the bar and, I assume, pictures of his rig from the parking lot. However the rig could've been stolen. The Ocean Springs and Gulfport police are working together...

The following is what I posted on onepocket.org regarding Mike's supposed murder. I post it here in hopes that someone who sees this suspect in another locale might recognize him, or recognize is m.o.: It is with great sadness and great frustration that I report my knowledge of the events...

The Fort Meyers area is lovely. My mother lives in assisted living up the road in Bradenton. Funny-- I'm from Mt. Lebanon, but I can't get a mental picture of the Caesar guy. If he was a pretty tough guy, I may recall who you're referring to. On the other hand, he may not have been around...

You've got a great memory, BB! And you had some of the exact same experiences as did I. All the places you named, I'm very familiar with. I used to go to the downtown YMCA on Saturdays as a kid, for about 6 months. It may have been a few years after you, since I'm 65. The two rooms in...
