My 1st thought
The coffin is unusual but the 20 or so cops who likely self-responded to the scene is normal. Some of them are like a pack of dogs chasing a cat. A friend of mine who is California Highway Patrol complains about how there will be a chase with two or three CHP units involved and then every local unit in the world shows up on their own. Same thing probably happened here, too. The killer was dead and a bunch of cops showed up with their adrenaline pumping and they took it out on the reporters. Good thing the BBC people didn’t get shot.
Probably something to transport the body only he wasn’t dead yet.
If this is how he found out, he got ready quick.
I am not sure this report is true... I live near the place where the event climaxed and if you are driving in the west bound lane of I66, you CANNOT see the spot where the silver car ended up on the side of the road in the east bound lane.
Personally, I think that is why the police chose that place to force the car over as the culprit could not cross the median there. There isn’t an emergency crossing across the median and the bank on both sides was very steep. A fine place to corral a car.
Think about it, if the reporter, could not see the event from the west bound lane, how much of this story is true?
What flaming Aholes. What right do they have to delete what he filmed? NONE, that’s what right.
And I hope he was smart enough to outwit the idiot cop by deleting the video. And then as long as he doesn’t tape back over it, simply go back home and recover that deleted file.
Childs play.
News shows sometimes “tease” an upcoming story the day before it happens. So it’s possible that the previous day’s morning news shows mentioned that they’d be talking about the upcoming celebration of Smith Mt. Lake. So one drives over to location early in the morning and chances are one will see the news crew setting up for their live remote.
Some of these cameras have two cards for recording. I would have had both cards recording at the same time or switch the recording card to the unused card and delete that one.
“How did the shooter know Alison and Adam were going to be there? Was he tipped off? If so, by who? It was an out of the way location at 6:45 am. How in the world did he know they were there”
How? He worked at the place. It was ridiculously easy. He had a rented car so they wouldn’t recognize his mustang. He waited for them to leave at 6am to go wherever the live shot would be, just as I’m sure the morning people did every morning when he worked there.
Followed then to wherever they went.
Think how hard it would be if you decided to follow an ex coworker who still worked at the same physical location. You pull up outside, and wait. You could probably guess within an hour of when you should be waiting.

“A trooper told Strasser that police “
The trooper would have a name tag. My BIL is in the Va State Police
Thanks. Hadn’t thought of that. And to everyone else who jumped down my throat for asking the question, have a nice day. lol
Looked back through, saw a lot of suggestions and ideas. But didn’t see anyone jump down your throat. If THAT was rough on you, you are likely in for some real treats during your second month here!
Yeah, I thought about that too.
Sounds like the cop wouldn’t have known if he’s had done something like that.
Wikipedia says she’s a DJ in LA.
Great Pic, Had to use it on FB!
He could have followed them from the station to the location of the interview.
Oh, I’ve been ‘treated’ already, believe you me. lol
That is new information.
Couldn’t see the eastbound lanes from the westbound lanes.
They said they noticed a lack of traffic.
Could they have seen the VSP lights from their lanes?
I have encountered traffic stops where I couldn’t see the cars themselves, but noticed the police cars “disco” lights through trees.
Even in broad daylight.
Just asking as I have little knowledge of the area.
