THIS WAS THE LAST ARTICLE BY THE CORRUPT HALIFAX MEDIA PANAMA CITY NEWS HERALD. NO UPDATES....NO JUSTICE!!! PANAMA CITY BEACH — Police made an arrest in a 2010 fatal shooting at a church construction site Thursday after a grand jury returned an indictment of a Panama City man on a count of first-degree murder. Christopher Ray Hyler, 47, was living in a rental property owned by victim Robert Ellison when Ellison was shot and killed at the busy construction site on Aug. 10, 2010, and when Hyler was arrested Thursday evening. Police announced his arrest at a press conference Friday morning. Ellison was shot multiple times in the construction office at the First Baptist Church in Panama City Beach. Though dozens of people were working on the site at the time, no one heard the gunshots or saw anything suspicious. Capt. Robert Clarkson of the Panama City Beach Police said Friday physical evidence connecting Hyler to Ellison’s slaying has been recovered over the course of the 2½-year-long investigation, but they have not recovered the gun used to shoot Ellison. Police said Hyler implicated himself Thursday in a statement to investigators after his arrest. “He made numerous incriminating statements to his participation in the murder,” Clarkson said. Clarkson said Hyler’s statements also suggested a possible motive for the shooting, but he declined to say what the motive might have been. The investigation continues, he said. Hyler is a longtime Bay County resident, Clarkson said. He was released from prison in April 2009 after serving about 18 months for attempted burglary of an occupied dwelling and fleeing police. Police found a meth lab when they arrested Hyler at 1009 Spring Ave., one of Ellison’s many rental properties, but he was otherwise arrested without incident, Clarkson said. Hyler had been living at 1202 Grace Ave., another property owned by Ellison that has since been foreclosed on, when Ellison was shot. Ellison owned at least 20 rental properties when he died, though several have since gone into foreclosure, said Lt. Jason Jones, the lead investigator. They tended to be low-income housing that attracted tenants who were “almost transient by nature,” Clarkson said. Police interviewed the tenants at all the properties, and investigators tracked leads as far away as North Carolina, Jones said. Chief Drew Whitman said Hyler’s arrest was the result of hard work and “a lot of sleepless nights for the case agents.” “A lot of people thought this case went cold,” Whitman said.“It never went cold.” Whitman said the investigation was conducted with cooperation with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, the State Attorney’s Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Panama City Police Department. “This is a major case; it’s something you can’t do by yourself,” he said. A judge ordered Hyler to be held without bond in the Bay County Jail during his first court appearance Friday afternoon, according to the Clerk of Courts website. He is the first person arrested in connection to Ellison’s death, but police said he probably would not be the last. “We believe there were other people involved in this homicide,” Clarkson said. Investigators plan to follow up on some new leads. Whitman said police hoped the leads would result in new evidence against possible suspects that they could take back to the grand jury. newsherald/news/updated-suspect-arrested-in-2010-pcb-church-slaying-documents-1.137032 !!!!!
