Police searching for suspect in portable toilet incident

Boulder police are investigating an incident that happened at the Hanuman Yoga Festival on Friday, June 17, near Boulder High School.

A female patron of the festival walked into a portable toilet and told police she noticed that something was moving inside the tank when she lifted the lid. She believed there might be a person inside the toilet. She left the portable toilet and asked a man who was standing nearby to go in and check.
The man told police that when he entered the toilet, he did see someone inside the tank, covered in a tarp. He, too, exited the portable toilet. A few minutes later, he heard the door lock from the inside. A festival security supervisor waited outside for several minutes and then saw a suspect emerge from the portable toilet. The supervisor tried to detain the suspect, but he ran away, covered in feces.


The suspect is described as a:


· White male
· About 20 years old
· Very tall, approximately 6’4” to 6’8”
· Thin build
· Short, dark hair
· Wearing dark gray sweatpants and no shirt or shoes

Witnesses say the suspect had several cuts on his back and legs. The suspect was also wearing leather bracelets on each wrist. At least one witness believes the suspect may use the name “Sky,” and told police that he may be a transient.

Police are looking for the suspect, but also want to talk to any witnesses from the Hanuman Yoga Festival who may have seen the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Jeremy Frenzen at 303-441-1890. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776. Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com.

Top 10 True Crime Movies (No Documentaries)


10. Bully (2001) by Larry Clark: Marty is a tormented surfer who relies on his longtime pal Bobby for rides to the beach and South Florida bars despite vicious abuse. But when Bobby turns his unwanted attention to Marty's new girlfriend Lisa and her best friend Ally Lisa decides Bobby's reign of terror must end. Assembling a crew of alienated suburban teens, she forms a deadly plan to get Bobby out of the way once and for all, turning friends into enemies and casual acquaintances into co-defendants in a murder that rocked America to its core.















9. In Cold Blood (1967) by Richard Brooks: After a botched robbery results in the brutal murder of a rural family, two drifters elude police, in the end coming to terms with their own mortality and the repercussions of their vile atrocity.





















8. Dance With a Stranger (1985) by Mike Newell: On July 13, 1955, Ruth Ellis became the last woman to be hanged in England for the murder of David Blakely.
























7: Savage Grace (2007) by Tom Kalin: A dramatization of the shocking Barbara Daly Baekeland murder case, which happened in a posh London flat on Friday 17 November 1972.

6. The Honeymoon Killers (1969) by Richard Kastle: Based on the true story of Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck, who met through a lonely-hearts correspondence club, Ray is weedy, feral, and untrustworthy; Martha is enormous, compulsive, and needy. Together, they play out a horrifying scheme in which he lures lonely women out on dates and proposes marriage to them, with she pretending to be his sister. They take the women's savings and then murder them remorselessly. Dank, claustrophobic, and weirdly engrossing, this movie never quite gives in to the comforts of conventional narrative. Francois Truffaut named it as his favorite American film.
