His body was found in a trailer at the Maine Recycling Corporation in Lisbon Falls, following a dayslong manhunt conducted by Maine officials.<\/p>\n<h3>Discovery of\u2063 Card&#8217;s Body<\/h3>\n<p>Maine Department of \u2063Public Safety Commissioner Michael \u200bSauschuck revealed during a press conference on Saturday morning that Card&#8217;s body was found in an unlocked recycling trailer around 7:45 p.m. on Friday. Although it is unclear whether Card was an active employee at the\u200b plant, he\u2062 was found wearing the same \u2064sweatshirt as\u200b seen in the image released of him at the bowling\u200d alley. His body was located near the sliding door of the trailer.<\/p>\n<p>The recycling facility had been searched twice before, \u2064but the specific trailer where Card was found \u2064had not\u2063 been cleared. The owner of \u2062the facility pointed out additional trailers across \u200dthe street that still belonged to the center, leading \u2064to the discovery of Card&#8217;s body.<\/p>\n<h3>Contents of a Note<\/h3>\n<p>Officials confirmed that a note was found during\u2063 the search for Card, although they \u200ddid not describe it as an explicit \u200csuicide note. According \u200cto Sauschuck, \u2062the note was addressed to a loved one and contained the passcode to Card&#8217;s phone, as well as other personal information such\u2063 as bank\u200d account numbers. The authorities are currently \u2062working on obtaining \u2064a \u200dsearch\u2064 warrant to access the contents of the phone.<\/p>\n<h3>Mental\u200c Health and Family Cooperation<\/h3>\n<p>Questions arose regarding\u2064 Card&#8217;s\u200b mental \u2064health, with reports suggesting that he \u200bhad been suffering from serious mental\u2062 health issues that had \u2063worsened over\u200b time. \u200bSauschuck stated that \u200bthere \u2064was no evidence of Card\u2063 being forcibly committed for treatment, but he did not rule out the possibility that mental health played a role in the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Sauschuck \u200bcommended Card&#8217;s family for their cooperation with law\u2064 enforcement, emphasizing that their assistance in identifying the suspect was crucial to the investigation.\u2064 He revealed that the first\u200c three individuals who positively identified Card \u200cbased on the released photos were family members.<\/p>\n<h3>Continued Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>Law enforcement and Maine authorities conducted an extensive manhunt on land, air, and water.\u2062 The investigation \u200dis ongoing, with law enforcement continuing their efforts throughout\u200c the \u200cweekend\u2062 at the two shooting \u2062locations: Schemengees Bar and Grill, and the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley in Lewiston.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Is there evidence to suggest that\u2063 the suspect had help in evading capture?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Nt or if he gained access through other means, investigators believe that he had been inside the trailer for \u200cat least a day before being discovered.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer was located in a remote part of the Maine Recycling Corporation&#8217;s property, making \u2062it difficult for authorities to locate Card. The manhunt had involved\u200b extensive searches of nearby areas and interviews with acquaintances in an effort to track him down. It is\u200d still unclear how Card managed to remain undetected for several days, and investigators are now examining the possibility that he had help in evading capture.<\/p>\n<h3>A Tragic End\u2064 to a Horrific Incident<\/h3>\n<p>The \u200bdiscovery of Card&#8217;s body brings\u200c an end to a devastating incident that has left the Lewiston community in shock.
