The feds are looking into Michael Hancock’s Case. The 28-year-old fugitive shot himself on a highway in Maine after police and federal agents discovered his location and closed in on him.
Now federal investigators are looking for someone to charge. Hancock skipped out of a court date in Erie, and was convicted in absentia for the purchase of an illegal silencer.
He then disappeared, and launched a nationwide manhunt.
Officials are trying to determine if anyone should be charged for aiding and abetting the fugitive.
Hancock had been living with his girlfriend, 48 year old Kim Vinelli of Bradford in a rented home in Windham, Maine. She was questioned after the car chase, and released.
Hancock’s father, John Charles Hancock, hopped in his car and drove to Maine Thursday after receiving a suicidal call from his son. He was also questioned by the FBI.
Neither Vinelli nor the elder Hancock has been charged.

Josh, it's sad but true fact that police departments are going off half
cocked at the drop of a hat in the name of "public safety".instead of taking the
time to possibly prevent this man from taking his own life it sounds as if
they rushed in and in an effect caused another "suicide by cop"This is getting
to be all to common all over our country as police departments overreact to
a situation and cause more harm than good. While I do not live in Potter
County, before moving to Colorado 15 years ago I spent a lot of time there and
saw first hand how good people can be taken down by police officers who
overreact and jump to conclusions only to find themselves look the fools in the end
or worse do nothing at all to rectify a problem. It is happening everywhere
not only in Maine and Pa but in every state in our country, Just an example
of police going off half cocked happened recently north of where I live, in
Colorado Springs, five buffalo escaped from a packing house and were running
loose through town while they were in a yard of a residence the local Police
department cut loose with over 120 rounds from .223 caliber rifles and 12
ga shotguns into these animals because someone got trigger happy. not only
killing the animals but shooting into three houses and several cars, luckily
they evacuated the houses first before they started shooting. Unfortunately this
is the mentality of Police all across our country anymore, Why is this?
Maybe because they don't have the mental capacity to do the job but are there
because no one else wanted it because of the pay received and hours worked.
There have been other incidents like this happening in recent months but if the
news is watched carefully it has been going on for years. I don't mean to be
a downer toward the Police but I have had occasion to work with some of these
"fine" officers over the last 25 years I just retired from the fire service
last week after twenty five years in the fire service in Pa and Colo. as a
vol. Firefighter, and while some may say I may have a mental defect for doing
it that long with no pay I didn't do it for myself I did it for the
community's that I lived in.
