LEWISTON (WGME) -- The website housing dozens of new documents related to Maine’s worst mass shooting, which left 18 people dead and 13 others injured in Lewiston, was put back online Monday.
The CBS13 I-Team has been going through the thousands of pages of documents since Friday.
They include new details about the evidence seized at shooter Robert Card II's home and details from police interviews with his family and friends.
Many of the documents also include police reports from the dozens of agencies tasked with searching for Card in the hours and days after the shootings.
We now know some of those officers were also part of his Army Reserve unit.
In one report from the Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office, a deputy, who was part of the group that reported Card's erratic behavior during an Army training in New York last summer, wrote that he tried telling members of the command post in Lewiston what he knew about Card's mental decline but was ignored.
It’s an issue he also brought up during an independent commission hearing earlier this year.
“He briefly explained to someone inside that I knew Robert Card and I actively served with him in the Army Reserve unit,” Matthew Noyes with the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office said. “To my surprise, I spoke with that member of the state police for less than two minutes. I went back to my cruiser and continued wherever there was an effort searching for Card."
The report goes on to say investigators did later sit down for a lengthy interview with Noyes, but only after Card's body had been found.
There's a consistent pattern in many of the reports from law enforcement about communication issues and sheer chaos during the manhunt, something the commission has brought up as well.
