Bob Cyphers - The Renewed Chase for the I-70 Killer
The I-70 killer case has haunted investigators and families for decades. Now, a renewed task force—led by a veteran officer with law enforcement in his blood—is breathing fresh life into the pursuit of justice. With new leads pouring in and agencies united, the chase feels more urgent than ever.
The renewed chase for the I-70 killer started with a police officer who had watched the case for decades from afar.
It was certainly no surprise that Raymond Floyd has spent his entire adult life carrying a gun and wearing a badge. His father Jack spent his life in law enforcement and served as the Police Chief in Bowling Green, Missouri for 30 years. His mother Joanne was a police dispatcher for 25 years. His wife, Kim has 25 years in law enforcement.
“You bet we can, and how about now,” was the reply he heard across the country.
Floyd smiled. "I got a buy-in from all of the agencies involved in the case. Nobody balked. Everybody wants this case solved, and this killer brought to justice. It was our concern that if we did not act now, this case could fall to the wayside. It was now or never is how we looked at it."
And the phones began ringing.
"We received 50-60 new leads since our meeting began," Floyd said after the task force meeting ended. "There is no crime that is perfect. Killers make mistakes. This case will never die in St. Charles."
And one of those leads has detectives now sitting on the edge of their seats.
"We have a lead that we have characterized as a Number 1,” Floyd said.
Floyd would not go any further, except to say a Number 1 is the highest priority lead possible. If the I-70 killer is out there somewhere, and he is laughing at what he has gotten away with so far, Floyd said he had a little friendly advice for the man.
"I would be feeling a little uncomfortable right now if I was him.”
