Tuesday Night Manhunt Near Walnut Hill
April 24, 2008
Escambia County Sheriff’s Deputies searched the area around South Highway 99 and Leandras Lane for several hours Tuesday night, but they were unable to locate their suspect. He was still at large as of midnight Wednesday.
Deputies say they attempted to serve a warrant at a mobile home near the dead end of Leandra Lane just after 8:00 Tuesday night. They were reportedly looking for Ivan Snyder, 35. Reports indicate that Snyder had been missing from a work release program since at least last Thursday.
Initial reports indicated that when deputies tried to serve the warrant, no one was at home at the mobile home in the 7400 block of Leandras Lane. It was believed Snyder was spotted near Leandras Lane and South Highway 99. A perimeter was setup, and the sheriff’s department helicopter and a K-9 unit were called to the scene.
NorthEscambia.com was the only media on the scene as deputies searched the area for about three hours. The K-9 unit followed a possible trail from Leandras Lane west across Highway 99 toward Deer Run Lane, along the railroad tracks and then back east toward Leandras Lane. Deputies and the K-9 unit last searched the area around the suspect’s trailer and toward the dead end of Leandras Lane. The trailer is located about one half mile from South Highway 99. The entire area is about seven miles south of Highway 97 in Walnut Hill.
The sheriff’s helicopter was used a night vision camera to search the area for about two hours until they were forced to leave the area due to low fuel about 10:40 Tuesday night. The ground search continued until it the entire manhunt was called off at about 11:20 Tuesday night.
