Thank you again for taking the time to type all that out. Most of your information coincides with what I have read in the Dothan Eagle - http://www.dothaneagle.com, yet a more thorough story appears is an on-line paper (with the occasional grammatical and spelling error) here:

One part of this sad affair that is puzzling me is the discovery of bleach and vinegar in the gun men's vehicle. I can't even fathom a use for these liquids in the commission of a crime. From the above link:

"Following the shootout, Investigators found the two gunman with latex gloves on. In their car was vinegar and bleach. They had plastic ties like law enforcement uses as handcuffs. They also found duct tape in the car. Both Sands and Brown were armed with a .38 and .22 handguns and ammunition."

"Sands was dressed with a wig, fake mustache and makeup. Brown had a suit on and sunglasses. Meadows said they had worked to disguise both their identity and that of their vehicle."

Cleanup the crime scene. DNA!

Thanks for the update.
Was wondering how fast this all went down.
I was once followed by someone and it took awhile to figure it out, but by the grace of God I realized I had to lead the perp to somewhere he could get caught.
I pulled into a hospital I was familiar with and knew had a "fishbowl" where the security guards were present 24/7. The perp followed me right up to the fishbowl. I was able to honk and within seconds they had my story and the police were enroute. They found the perp trying to get away, 2 blocks from the hospital. He was as drunk as could be.
I testified in court and he was put away for a bit.
Could have been much worse outcome.

Here is more that is coming out. Sands has been married twice, his first wife is remarried but had taken out a restraining order against him many years ago.

"She warned me that he was a very, very smooth manipulative character. He was very good at telling people what they wanted to hear," Susan Schenk's current husband, anesthesiologist John Schenk, told The Associated Press Thursday from the couple's home in Portland, Ore.

"My only fear was that if he ever came back, that we'd have enough warning to have the guns ready," Schenk added.

There's more at the link. The guy was apparently a very slick character.
