Beer Belly Bandit Strikes Again After 10-Month Break
<snip>

TAMPA, Fla. -- The "Beer Belly Bandit" has struck again after a 10-month break, adding to the dozens of bank robberies he has committed in Florida since 2000, officials said.

The robber, known for his midsection, hit a Wachovia bank on Tuesday, pulling a gun on two tellers. It was the first robbery he had committed since November, when he held up a bank in Sarasota, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said.

He has also struck banks in Pinellas, Hernando, Marion, Alachua and Citrus counties, sometimes with a partner.

Investigators say that they have no leads.

"Normally with investigations like this, you get an abundance of leads . . . especially with a $25,000 reward," FDLE Special Agent Steve Davenport said. "We're not getting much at all. It's kind of perplexing."

3. They don't have his face on a surveillance camera?

Investigators aren't sure where the bandit has been for the last 10 months. Jail is one possibility, but Davenport said police have the bandit's description and he would likely have been recognized.

I saw this TV show about criminal profiler. He profiled a serial killer as being in his early thirties, among other things. When the killer was caught, the profile fit perfectly except that he was 45 years old. It made the profiler look bad, but not for long--it turned out that the killer had done a thirteen-year stretch for child molestation!
