"If you've got a photo, if you've got a video of what happened, or something that you think is evidentiary in nature, and you think it would be valuable for us to have, you can upload that information through that link," Director of the Maine Department of Public Safety Michael Sauschuck said during a news conference Friday morning.
"That link stems from best practices in other communities where tragedies like this have occurred," Sauschuck added.
Investigators with many different agencies have been working around the clock in an effort to track down Card, the suspected mass shooter who has been on the run since Wednesday night. 18 people were fatally shot during the shocking act of violence, and many more were hurt.
Maine authorities said that law enforcement has been working over 530 tips and leads that have come in from the public across several communities.
"And as you can imagine, those vary greatly," Sauschuck said. "Depending on that individual's knowledge of what happened, and what they want us to do about that."
Searches were ongoing Friday at many locations — including the two initial crime scenes, and the boat landing where Card's white Subaru was found Wednesday night.
