Cops spoke with Steve Stephens shortly after he posted a video showing him shooting dead a 74-year-old man on Sunday.
Police revealed at a Monday morning press conference that they had been in contact with Stephens but efforts to get him to turn himself in failed.
Now, they say they have no idea where he is, and have expanded their search to five states.
Steve Stephens, 37, is wanted on a charge of aggravated murder in the death of Robert Godwin Sr. in Cleveland.
Cops have warned residents of Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Michigan to be on the lookout for Stephens, who they said may have traveled out of state.
When officers tried to track Stephens’ phone after the shooting, it pinged in Erie, Pennsylvania – 100 miles east from the scene of the crime.
Police Chief Calvin Williams said in a Monday morning press conference that his officers searched dozens of locations the previous night ‘to no avail’ and have admitted that he could be anywhere.
He added that no more victims have been found, despite Stephens’s claim on Facebook that he killed up to 15 people.
He also issued a warning to anyone who may be harboring Stephens.
‘If you think you’re helping Steve, you’re really not. You’re going to get yourself in trouble along with him,’ Williams said.
