Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, a male suspect involve with two females that were recorded by a home security surveillance video camera stealing two large Halloween skulls from a Southside residence has apparently been identified as William "Billy" George Leary Jr., 29, according to his Facebook (FB) account. Leary hasn't been charged yet with a skulls theft crime. 

Leary who celebrated his Birthday on October 16 is been sought by Milwaukee police in connection with last Wednesday's theft of two large decorative skulls from a porch.

Police are still looking for the two women that were also caught on video in connection with taking the skulls that weigh at least 20 pounds each from a home.

The owner of the skulls says that he paid about $100.00 for each skull.
Leary has an open misdemeanor retail theft case (intentionally take of value up to $500 and a party to a crime enhancer) and has a court hearing on October 25, 2019 in Milwaukee County Courtroom 623 at 8:30a.m. and missed one previous court hearing and a warrant was issued, but stayed until the upcoming court date, according to court records. He remains free on a $250 signature bail.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) received a tip and a copy of Leary's Facebook account, which apparently the tipster doesn't like thieves and asked to remain anonymous.

HNNUSA checked an image from the outdoor home video and Leary's FB account profile and the facial recognition certainly matched like the suspect Milwaukee police are looking for involved the theft crime.

Update: Billy Leary apparently confessed to the skulls theft when outed in the Milwaukee Southsiderz Facebook page.
Also, an open warrant has been issued for Leary on 10/30/2019 and a second charged for retail theft was filed on 10/25/2019.
