This appears to be the video that the NYPD pulled a screenshot from for their person of interest posting about Frank James in the #NYCsubway shooting.

James posted this on March 20 entitled "STOP ONE COMPLETE" and says he's "on my way to Philadelphia."

James says in the video he is on "the first leg of my trip."

"As I leave the state of Wisconsin and about to be back in the state of Illinois, all I can say is 'good riddance.' And I will never be back again alive to that motherfucker."

In another clip from the same video, he gives a very lengthy and mostly nonsensical rant I won't repost here, but he ends by saying he's in Fort Wayne Indiana, on his way to Philadelphia to "drop my shit off at my storage unit" before going to a hotel in New Jersey.

March 20.

On March 21, one day after the video NYPD screenshotted for their person of interest lookout, Frank James rambled for a 30 minute video, but it ends with saying he's still in Fort Wayne and going to Caledonia, Indiana.

"This may be my last video, let's hope not."

On March 22, Frank James posted a video entitled "I am here."

It is mostly a 24-minute long ramble, but he seems to share a vision of "doomsday" and "World War III."

Frank James March 22 says he's focused on "getting to my final destination safely and just moving on with my life" "if I'm not caught up in doomsday, which I just might be."

"Any day and every day from here on out, as we can see, could be f*ing doomsday."

I'm not hoping to repost enormous amounts of this guy's rambling, but he does lay out a timeline of a lengthy journey.

At the end of a long March 23 rant video, Frank James says he's in Harrisburg.

"Now that I bought myself some time, I can chill out and not rush."

In a 36 minute vulgar and incoherent April 2 rant, NYPD's person of interest in the subway shooting Frank James compares serial killers Ted Bundy and Dennis Lynn Rader with accused George O. Ramsey III, a substance abuse counselor accused of sexually assaulting patients.

In an hour+ video posted April 11 (no more than 36 hours before the attack he is a person of interest in) Frank James says he has "wanted to kill people, wanted to watch them die" but that he was deterred by the possibility of going to prison.

In his final YouTube video on April 11, Frank James says he is "scared to death" of going to prison, and talks about the TV show "Scared Straight."

This is amidst an hour+ long rant, much of which is quite incoherent.

Thread apparently broke here. Cont'd:

The New York Post is reporting that NYC shooting suspect Frank Hanes has been apprehended.
