I hope they're really sure it was someone in a white van! It would be horrid if they checked all white vans and then found out someone just THOUGHT they saw him in a white van.
I haven't been following this story as closely as some of you, but I really don't understand why they haven't been able to catch him yet! Seems like cordoning off traffic and checking car by car SHOULD have trapped him long ago...

I think the key is getting it coordinated enough and getting a roadblock in place fast enough.... they have to be able to block all the exits and trap them. Of course... Caught in the trap also are thousands of innocents in the backup. That is a big risk to take.
But that is what they have done. Maybe the bad guys are in the trap, maybe not. Hopefully.
But they are just checking white vans, I am watching it live. They are waving the others through, and the talking heads on TV are questioning the wisdom of that too...
