Malibu Manhunt: Did LASD Get Their Man… Or Is the Shooter Still at Large?

Edited at 5:04 a.m. 10/13/18

As Tuesday’s high profile arrest (that I predicted 6 days before) of parole violator Anthony Rouda made local and national headlines, the press conference/pat-on-the-back hosted by Sheriff Jim McDonnell was by all accounts, an excellent attempt at leading the public to believe the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) actually “got their man”.

The question is, which man?

The burger stealing burglar, the shooter, the murderer, or all three?

If you’re Captain Josh Thai of the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Department, it appears the manhunt is over, and law and order has been restored to Malibu Canyon.

Capt. Thai even told the Malibu Times it’s “safe to go back” to Malibu Creek State Park.

So, for now, it’s a waiting game.

Will their be a ballistics match to Rouda’s rifle for the murder of Tristan Beaudette?

Did detectives recover the shotgun tied to the shootings dating back to 2016?

The weapon used in the shooting incident involving Meliss Tatangelo was a shotgun.

When we get those answers, then, and only then, can we properly tell the whole story.

Is LASD sweating bullets?
