This is fantastic news! I am surprised he was still in Texas.

Roy Harrell's sighting is pretty much discredited as he was proven to be seeking attention and telling tall tales. The other European sightings are questionable although offered in good faith at least. If Bishop is/was alive I feel he most likely just stayed in the USA. It would be much easier for him to remain undetected as an American in the USA than it would be for him to not stick out as a foreigner in Italy, Croatia, Botswana, etc.

Any updates on Dan Hiers? Seems to be very little news on his supposed capture.

They should stake out retailers of tiki torches and see if Hiers has been buying any.

It is hard to say if he is dead and if so did he die soon after the murders or later on because of ill health/old age. I think his removal reflects mostly that this case is as cold as it gets. There are essentially no reliable sightings of him since he appeared in that sporting goods store in NC soon after the murders. The key to the case could have been his correspondence with the prison inmate and discovering the identity of the woman he was with in NC. Unfortunately more time seems to have been spent publicizing these fantastical sightings in Europe.

“With the addition of Mims to the FBI's Top 10 list, the agency is removing William Bradford Bishop Jr., a man accused of killing his wife, three sons and mother in Bethesda, Maryland in 1976. Bradford Bishop was added to the FBI's list in 2014 and is the tenth person to be removed from the list without apprehension, death or dismissal of charges, said FBI Supervisory Special Agent David Porter. Porter said there have been no reported sightings of Bradford Bishop since 1976.” I may be reading too far into this, but I take this to mean the FBI now has reason to doubt the three sightings in Europe. I also take it to mean that they suspect he is dead. I was reading on Reddit that someone talked to a detective on this case and they said that the Italians had a body they believed belonged to Bishop, but the American authorities hadn’t gone over to confirm it. Anyone else hear of this and know more about this? My understanding is that the FBI didn't really believe in any of the Europe sightings and didn't think Harrell to be reliable at all.

I would hope law enforcement are routinely running DNA samples through ancestry websites to be honest. Seems an easy way to quickly narrow down suspects.

I suggested on the Golden State Killer message board that Bishop be their next focus.

A great day. It will be interesting to follow the case as more details come out. We can now establish if he was in that photo of a community meeting. As far as I know DeAngelo was on no one's radar which does show the limitations of devoted web sleuths. There were thousands of people spending serious time on this case and none of them got close to suspecting this guy.

Something reminded me the other day of how hard it must be to avoid detection. I was pulled over by a police officer for not stopping 3-seconds at a stop sign at an intersection with no traffic in a suburban neighbourhood. I honestly had no idea why I was being pulled over at the time. Imagine if I was a fugitive with a fake id or something. A carefully crafted life on the run could easily come crashing down because of a simple mistake of not waiting 3-seconds at a stop sign and a cop looking to meet his quota of tickets.

No articles, but James Bruno has told me about Harrell and why the FBI thinks he is unreliable.

Almost everyone in Sweden speaks fluent English and other languages like German are quite common also.
Interesting that some are back to believing Harrell. My understanding is that he was caught by the FBI concocting stories about associates that the FBI made-up. Give him a name, real or fake, and he had a story to tell about them.
