“When we put video out like this it’s because we have hit a point where we need something else. We need a tip,” St. Pete Police spokeswoman Yolanda Fernandez said in 2019.
Joy Steinruck, Carr’s mother, said her son was a diligent worker with no enemies and they have no clue who would want their son dead.
“He was a loving great son who doesn’t deserve this, and they need to find this crazy murder,” Steinruck said in 2019.
