“He’s found things that allowed him access to the house. He’s looking for windows, looking for keys, looking for open doors,” Shore told WTOC.
Twice, the suspect has reportedly walked in on unsuspecting home owners. In both cases, Shore revealed, the naked man fled the scene when confronted, per the outlet, speculating that the suspect might be mentally ill or addicted to drugs.
