Annals Of Profiling

Robber Eludes Cops Using Elaborate Blackface Disguise
Four banks and a CVS pharmacy in Ohio were robbed in the span of only three hours on April 9. Police in Hamilton County were unable to catch the criminal, known as the "hairless robber," because of his disguise. "The suspect seen in the surveillance photographs and that we were looking for, we believed to be an African American male. The suspect was actually a male, white, who was wearing an elaborate disguise," Springdale Police Lieutenant Michael Mathis told ABC Action NewsConrad Zdzierak, 30, was wearing a high-quality mask known as "The Player," that Mathis says cost between $600 and $700. The police were only able to locate the alleged robber after receiving a tip from Crimestoppers that matched a Volvo parked at an Extended Stay America Hotel to one seen driving away from the scene of one of the crimes. "When police opened the Zdzierak's hotel room door they encountered his pit bull which bit one of the officers," ABC Action News reported. "The dog was shot and killed by an officer during the attack. Police found Zdzierak hiding in the bathroom."
