Tuesday, March 20: Blonde bandits continue to elude NYPD's elite
BLONDE BANDITS CONTINUE TO ELUDE NYPD's ELITE
As a week goes by, New York City police are still no closer to finding the elusive "giggling bandits" who killed a bank teller after robbing the First Bank of Manhattan's Midtown branch last Monday afternoon. The women, said to be anywhere from 17-25 years of age, did not give the
police much to go on, as they wore large sunglasses and wigs. Yesterday, detectives from the Major Case Squad were seen entering the apartment of the victim, Jordan Bishop, and then exiting later with evidence bags. Detectives Michael Logan, Alexandra Eames and Edward Green, shown in this photo, seemed carefree and were even heard joking as they left the apartment.
"My brother is dead, and not a single person from the Department has contacted us," said an outraged Marissa Bishop-Dooley. "They didn't even tell us they were searching his apartment...if you could even call it that. I had to hear about it from a neighbor who saw them laughing it up outside."
"How can an entire week have gone by and no one been found? What, are we letting little college teenagers do whatever they want these days?" asked Ruthellen Jensen, Jordan Bishop's mother.
It's not the first time the Major Case Squad or its' detectives have come under scrutiny. MCS' most prominent detective, Robert Goren, is known around town for his unusual interrogation tactics. The Department has previously taken heat for allowing him to continue his methods. In addition, Logan, formerly of Staten Island's Domestic Disturbance beat, was exiled to the island after punching a Manhattan politician.
When asked about the current case and the actions of his detectives, new MCS Captain Daniel Ross declined to comment.
