Synopsis:
Police in Decatur, IL are looking for David G. Lindsay.  They say that
he murdered Dale Runion for his car and his money.  Now they've
tracked him to Daytona Shores, FL and it's all sounding eerily similar
to the last time Lindsay killed.
In 1988, Lindsay was charged with his wife's murder after he called the
police and went on the run.  Lindsay beat her in the head with blunt
objects and then suffocated her with a plastic bag.  Cops say Lindsay
phoned them so they could come take care of it before his three small
children came home.  He didn't want them seeing their mother dead. 
Then, cops say, he went on the run.  Lindsay was eventually tracked
down in Daytona Shores, FL.  He was charged and convicted of his
wife's death in Illinois.  He served nine years in a federal
penitentiary, and was paroled.
A bad smell in the hallway forced the super in Runion's building to open
his apartment door on December 18, 2001.  Inside, he found a body and
called police.  Police were able to classify the death a murder after
an autopsy of the badly decayed body revealed Runion had been strangled
to death with a rope.  Cops determined that the assailant had stolen
the victim's wallet, keys and car before fleeing the scene.
Cops knew nothing about a suspect, because there were no eyewitnesses to
the murder.  They quickly identified friends of Runion's to find out
more about their victim.  Runion lived alone, and was a 71-year-old
retired sheet metal worker, who had been in the Metal Worker's Local
Union for more than 30 years.  Police interviews led to identifying a
group who would meet for card games at local restaurants and coffee
houses that Runion frequently hung with.  Two people were missing from
the group, though.  Runion, because he was dead, and "Steve Walden"
who was last seen on December 12, saying that he was heading to Runion's
home before he left for the holidays.  "Walden" joined the group about
a year prior, and seemingly lived a homeless life, playing cards with
his new pals.  Stories that "Walden" told his card buddies weren't
matching up, though.  He had told friends he had children in towns
throughout the Midwest, but none of those cities had people with those
names.  Police created a sketch of "Walden" and circulated it to the
local media.  Quickly, people came forward identifying Lindsay as the
real Steve Walden.  After a little bit of digging, they discovered his
past as a convicted murderer.  They found out some interesting tidbits
from the card group, like Walden's appearance was always scruffy and he
had a very bad chigger problem that meant he was always itching.
In the meantime, police entered the stolen car into various
databases.  The week of Christmas, they got a hit.  The car had been
seen in Daytona Beach, FL from December 13th through the 17th.  It
hadn't been flagged as a stolen vehicle until the discovery of Runion on
the 18th, so police had just lodged it as a suspicious vehicle that had
since moved on.  Daytona officials flooded the local media with
descriptions and photos of the car, license plate and Lindsay's
picture.  Shortly thereafter, a bartender in Daytona Shores recognized
Lindsay's picture.  She had served him a few times, the week of
Christmas.  He had still been driving Runion's Crown Victoria, but he
was going by a different name: Jim Wolf.
Police have had no confirmed sightings since.
