U.S. officials can't find the dentist who killed Cecil the lion
Source: Washington Post
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to talk to Walter Palmer. But it can't find him.
Palmer, the Minnesota dentist who killed the famed Zimbabwean lion Cecil earlier this month, has fallen off the radar since Tuesday, when reports first surfaced identifying him as Cecil's hunter. In his one of his only public statements, Palmer said Tuesday "I deeply regret" killing "a known, local favorite" and that he relied on local guides. He said he was led to believe the hunt was legal.
"I have not been contacted by authorities in Zimbabwe or in the U.S. about this situation, but will assist them in any inquiries they may have," Palmer said at the time.
Edward Grace, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's law enforcement deputy chief, said in a statement Thursday that the agency is investigating the circumstances surrounding Cecil's death. "That investigation will take us wherever the facts lead," Grace said. "At this point in time, however, multiple efforts to contact Dr. Walter Palmer have been unsuccessful. We ask that Dr. Palmer or his representative contact us immediately."

he can't get a signal for his phone or the place doesn't have a satellite dish.
He's a coward.

(22,651 posts)and regulate the big money auctions when they 'sell' those "trophy heads. All legal in the USA.?
Some of those stuffed heads are worth a lot especially elephants and rhinos ('legal' ivory and horns)
Pretty sure there is even a market now for live elephants raised at those breeding farms in foreign countries, Read somewhere china just bought several hundred young elephants recently from some 'private' place that breeds them in Africa. they may be starting an ivory farm?
Some people exploit the hell out of wild life if they can get away with it.

(12,655 posts)he might be in some pretty big trouble for other potential crimes besides the murder of cecil.
Sunlei
(22,651 posts)charges? He's hides out from the masses of media and the general public who aren't happy with his behavior.
He will have to remove himself from social media bragging and stay low, quiet a couple months. Be similar to arrow Vet, cat killer woman. Pay off the 'injured party' and all will blow over.

(12,655 posts)The killing of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe by American dentist and trophy hunter Walter Palmer is being investigated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to see if it was part of a conspiracy to violate U.S. laws against illegal wildlife trading, a source close to the case said.
Sunlei
(22,651 posts)caught with bunches of horns and thousands in cash very recently. F & W was involved.
In Texas I think I remember. probably a search could find the case, largest seizure in history, recently. Its a rodeo cowboy, he still rodeos so F and W must have let him go.

The wealthy order their wildlife to kill from animals raised on breeding farms.

I would too - someone's likely to take a shot at him during the 2 Day Internet Hate. Best to lie low until the next mass murder or cop shooting distracts the Internet. Should be coming up, it's been a few days. Won't be longer than 2 weeks.

(12,655 posts)i am sure they check any other properties he owns. And if he was on an island in another country, he would probably phone in because he would feel pretty safe. He's probably cowering in a cabin that belongs to one of his murdering douche bag buddies. hopefully wetting and soiling himself about the prospect of prison in zimbabwe.
