And that isn't holding that has a lot of people on ahead.

Across the south as police are hunting for a killer in a pair of highway murders the victims were killed in cold blood.

By someone who the investigators believe may be disguised as a policeman.

Pulling them over for what they think may be a legitimate reason.

Investigators have very little to go on here.

Both shootings in rural stretches of northern Mississippi no witnesses to either shooting so -- -- their best to keep people -- and offer some advice.

Altogether.

Why I think it might be somebody who's posing as a police man.

Well the similarity is that both be -- -- on the side of the road in fact the young lady her.

Vehicles pulled over in the flash -- were on the emergency signal to run.

They don't -- of the road.

At that time -- day and parent no apparent problem with the vehicles.

That would lead you to believe that.

Someone posing as a police officer pulled them over but again that's just one of those scenarios and also just out of an abundance of caution and concern for public safety want to let them vote Republican who may not have found they have that 911 option.

To make that phone call we want to make sure that they were aware of that because in these rural areas you may not.

Have the option to go to a lighted place where other people are -- -- -- you know what it is so important to get that message out because and I have heard this said in negative women in particular.
