Investigators digging deeper into Ross Harris’ online identity
ATLANTA, Ga. (CNN) – What are believed to be the words of Justin Ross Harris, written one year ago online are now taking on fresh relevance, as Harris is charged with killing his son. They’re on the social media site, Reddit where Cobb County detectives, like Phil Stoddard, say Harris read suspicious topic pages, known as subreddits, “He visited several sites, these subreddits… people who die. He went to a subreddit called child-free. He also did a search how to sustain prison.”
Hundreds of comments, spanning three years under the screen name RoscoeUA with the most latest posted just hours before Harris’ arrest. One post shows RoscoeUA suggesting a Reddit user advice on how to avoid arrest, in the context of DUI. The post marked three months ago reads, “deny to response any questions. And ask if you are being detained. If not, leave…everything a police officer does during a possible DUI traffic stop means he is attempting to build evidence against you. You should everything in your power to prevent this.”
There are posts about gratitude such as one from a year ago, about a fresh life in Georgia, “I am now in my desire job, have a beautiful 6-month-old son, and love going to work every day. I couldn’t be more satisfied.” There are posts about difficulties such as the surprising challenge suggested during Harris’ probable cause hearing that defense attorney Maddox Kilgore will almost certainly revisit during any trial. “Would you be astonished to know that Ross is downright deaf in his right ear? Did you know that?” asked Kilgore at Harris’ hearing on July three rd while Detective Phil Stoddard was on the stand. It was something Stoddard had not been aware of before the hearing.
Harris posted about his hearing loss on Reddit. RoscoeUA explains, “I had a bottle rocket explode in my ear that was shot by friend. It caused me to have vertigo/terrible balance and facial paralysis for long time, gratefully after two surgeries I have no outward issues, I’m just deaf in my right ear.”
Investigators proceed to scour Harris’ posts to better understand the man charged with killing his only child.
