Dogoone you JALLEN, I was going to post this with a much snazzier title: "WANTED: LIMPING DUDE IN RED HOODIE"

According to press articles, the guy wears a black bandana or head scarf in addition to the red hoodie (or maybe jacket). One of his victims was a man, the other a woman who Red Hoodie wanted to drive him to Houston. Instead she drove around a looking for a way to escape, and when he caught on, she stabbed him in the left leg, bailed out of her car, and ran to a nearby bar to call for help. Red Hoodie also bailed and ran away into a field. Police searched on foot and by helicopter, but didn't find him yet.

Interestingly when I googled on "New Braunfels Red Hoodie" to see if there were any updates, I came up with a couple historical items:

Pizza delivery woman assaulted in carjacking
This was a carjacking in New Braunfels in December that also involved a red hoodie.

And another! http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/2-te ... 97921.html
But this one was in Milwaukee.

Watch for red hoodies I guess, especially if they are trying to wave you down and steal your car.

This is of special interest to me, since New Braunfels is not that far away.

When I was growing up in NB a long, long time ago, we were led to believe Seguin was a long way from NB!

Things have changed in NB. When I was a kid, the only crime, apart from the usual political games, was a couple of crooks who drove over from San Antonio to rob the liquor store, after which they escaped, and all 3 police cars were ruined in the chase.

That was before the auslanders moved in.
