Well, I’ll be. A man has allegedly confessed to abducting an elderly woman from a Crestview Hills mall parking lot, a crime that had a sort-of-good outcome (the woman wasn’t seriously injured) and gave us the most glorious police sketch of 2011.
Here’s the sketch:
And here is the suspect, Joseph (or as the Kenton County Detention Center calls him, Jospeh) Weir:

I was hoping this day would be a glorious one, celebrated by hoots and hollers and flowing champagne, because not only would we get an alleged bad guy off the street, but we’d also get to see that black-and-white creature in the flesh. Alas, Joseph Weir looks like an unremarkable guy. Maybe police should keep looking for the bug-eyed, buck-toothed hat dude.
