U.S. Marshals find car in hunt for former teacher Logan Storm
PORTLAND, Ore. – U.S. Marshals found a car associated with a former Beaverton teacher convicted of child porn charges who’s now on the run from authorities.
Marshals found the silver Volkswagen Jetta that they believed Logan Storm may have been driving. The car was spotted last weekend in Los Angeles and the Oregon license plate had been removed, according to Eric Wahlstrom with the U.S. Marshals Service.
Storm had hundreds of pornographic images and videos of toddlers and young girls on his computer equipment, the U.S attorney said. Authorities found Storm’s ankle bracelet at Lewis and Clark Park in Troutdale hours after he was found guilty. He had cut it off.
The judge let Storm go free until his sentencing in April even though he had taken off once before to Europe.
U.S. Marshals said they have reason to believe that someone is helping Storm hide from authorities. They are still looking for Storm’s green Ford F-150 truck with Oregon license plate 726-CKA.
Wahlstrom told KATU News “some other allegations may be coming out and we consider child porn a gateway to more serious crimes.”
U.S. Marshals said Storm does not have his passport, but he has been known to use different names in the past.
Anyone who sees the truck or has any information about Storm is asked to call the U.S. Marshals at 503-326-2209.
As long as he is free he can prey on children. I sure hope they find him.
His name is "Logan Storm." He's two X-Men mutants in one. He can spawn an F5 tornado and cut you in half with adamantium claws, which is why you're never going to catch him. Duh!
Here's my dream:
They find this guy, they lock him and the serial rapist who just got arrested in the same cell, they sort out between themselves who will be "getting the top bunk", then they are "accidentally" given a razor.
I hope he gets away!!!!
Here is why, he may be headed out of the US, Â thus he will not be a burden on the US taxpayers, he will not get out of prison and become involved with any children in this country.
If he is arrested in a foreign country he may spend his life in a prison whose standards are much lower than ours. Run and never come back.
Whoever may be "helping him", I hope grows a conscience and turns him in, or performs some level of vigilante justice
@pdxd No vigilante justice, please....or even the suggestion since many think it's OK to just take someone out to appease their own feelings.  I probably don't have to give you a link to the stories on the dad in Texas whose son was killed by an alleged drunk driver or the "law-abiding security guard" in Vancouver. Â
@sundowner, I was using sarcasm with regards to vigilante justice, in my other posts on here, I generally condemen vigilante acts, and in fact, I said so much on the story about the father who shot the drunk driver who killed his sons in Texas. And please note, I said "some level", I didn't say "shoot him dead", nor did I specify any other act of violence towards him.
LA is a great place to hide - look at all the illegal's that have been doing just that for all these years...
@bonedÂ
They don't really hide, they just go to work in the morning.
@Billy Batts @boned Which really ought to out them - since so many legal Americans DON'T.
starshadow Depends on where you go since you have never been there - Santa Monica works just fine...
LOL, and all pedophiles are GAY...Nice...guess this one slipped though the cracks....
"The judge let Storm go free until his sentencing in April even though he had taken off once before to Europe."
Why not name the judge who let Storm free, so he can contain this storm of horrible acts that this former teacher is doing?Â
This is like a bunch of feathers being blown in the wind, and having a hard time gathering.Â
He let him go after the guilty verdict? thats just plain dumb
Oh, but the judge released him prior to sentencing under the condition he wear a GPS device. This even after he first fled to London for 9 months. Of course he is not a flight risk. Let's just hope he doesn't create any victims while running!
@I812 Apparently the judge did not feel that Storm was a 'threat' to society - only in OR...
If the original plates weren't on the car, how do the US Marshalls know it's the same car? Â The article says they "found" it, then it says the car was "spotted". Â In LA, one could spot 1,000 cars that looked identical. Â Maybe just poor writing of the story.
@Sundowner When I found a car with no plates I just ran the VIN plate and got the real information in case the plates were removed and used on another car. We put out a BOLO on the actual plate number unless the vehicle was reported stolen like 'deej' said.
@boned Oh, once I read the competitor's story, it was all very clear.  This story (haven't checked to see if they've changed the wording) made it sound like they "spotted" it, but no mention of impounding it or getting their hands on it to check the VIN.
@Sundowner Isn't that why there's VINs? I do agree, the writing made me read it a few times, especially when they said they're still looking for his F-150 near the end of the story.
And I clicked the edit link and edited my comment...cool
@deejm2112Â I just now read the story on another site....they found the car parked, so now it makes sense. Â I'm actually surprised, because the other site's writing is......well, never mind.
Let me guess, they're going to find him in a cabin which then proceeds to burst in flames. *yawn*
@Reflect Come on, Dorner finally quit smoking...
"The judge let Storm go free until his sentencing in April even though he had taken off once before to Europe."
That judge possesses poor judgement.
He's heading for Mexico. Hopefully the drug cartels will mistake him for a DEA agent.
@RalphCramden Or a Spanish Tourist, now that would be poetic justice.
@RalphCramden We can only hope - a stick of dynamite instead of the doctors check-up would work just fine...
