Appearing alongside a US marshal and FBI agent, Williams said investigators have searched dozens of locations, "to no avail," and that one of his detectives had spoken to Stephens via cell phone after the murder. He did not elaborate on the call, other than to say the detective attempted to convince Stephens to surrender. "We're still asking Steve to turn himself in, but if he doesn't, we'll find him," the chief said. "We're not going to stop until we find him." He warned any of Stephens' friends or family members who might assist him while he's on the lam: "If you think you're helping Steve, you're really not. You're going to get yourself in trouble."
Stephens is a black male who is 6-foot-1 and weighs 244 pounds. He was last seen wearing a dark blue and gray or black striped polo shirt. He was driving a white Ford Fusion with temporary license plates, Cleveland police said.By the way, some church friends of mine are personal friends with Mr. Godwin's daughter, and they're asking for prayers - which is something I'm sure we can all very willingly offer. Everything I've heard of Mr. Godwin is that he was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back. He was simply out for a pleasant stroll on a beautiful Easter Sunday, and lost his life for no reason apart from the fact that Stephens happened to spot him walking along the sidewalk. I'll tell you the same thing I told you just over a year ago when something similar happened in Kalamazoo: Steve Stephens, who had never displayed behavior like this before according to people who know him, is doing the things he's doing because at least one and probably several demons are telling him to. That is not an excuse at all for his behavior. It is simply a full and complete assessment of what's going on.
