  1. There are still many missing pieces to this puzzle I’m sure. I pray the families and all those close to each of these young men can find closure. I pray for the young children of Mr. Perdomo. The whole situation is tragic for all involved and despite what either of these men were tied up in they both have loved ones that care very much about them, so I hope you all can find it in your hearts to offer condolences instead of insults and such.

  2. Arrives at his girlfriends house??? What??? He is a drug dealer and an adulterous husband. Sounds like he was leading two lives, really really strange situation and very sad on so many levels. 

  3. According to the police affidavit, the car was not found until 2/20/12 at 10:40pm, not on 2/17 as the article states. 

  4. Morning: Perdomo arrives at girlfriend Lisa’s house in Bangor, Maine.

    5:30 p.m.: Perdomo leaves Gould’s house to meet a ‘friend.’ Was carrying a gun, two cell phones.

    Hmmm, so the mystery girl “Lisa”  ,the girlfriend, is her name Lisa Gould by reading the
    timeline correctly?
