Two people have been killed in Mississippi within the past month after being pulled over by a phony police officer, according to police. Now, authorities are asking for the public’s help in tracking down the killer.

The two victims were both found in remote areas with their cars pulled over to the side of the road, which has led police to believe the shooter is posing as an officer. The shootings took place about 55 miles apart, and the victims do not have any known connection.

On May 8th, authorities found the first victim, Thomas Schlender. The 74 year old man was discovered inside of his car on Interstate 55 in Panola County around 1:30 am.

Lori Anne Carswell, 48, was found dead on Mississippi Highway 713 in Tunica County on Friday. Police found her body outside of her car in the median at 2:15 am.

All drivers are being told to pull into a well-lit area if being pulled over, and to call 911 for verification that the officer is legitimate if they have any questions.
