MSNBC reporting sniper related digging and searching of a building in Tacoma WA. FBI is involved. May be related to something the sniper told police

Hope that large plastic coated "thingy" being loaded into the (white truck) isn't a reactor core

Or a UFO or Hoffa or Judge Crater ..............

"But the lack of the feds taking this over makes me think that they don't want to handcuff themselves to federal regulations and standards..."

That, and perhaps they are trying to steer the public away from the idea that it is terrorism or even to keep the perpetrators themselves in the dark as to how they are looking at this case.

Look on the bright side, maybe Bagdad Jim will get the boot, would'nt that be something.

A lot of good that'll do ya with rental property... Apparently the OWNER of the property is not a suspect... that leaves whomever may have lived in the rental side of the Duplex in the past as a possible lead....

That being said, let the guy who lives there have his privacy... the last thing we need is a Richard Jewell type scenario occurring...

I saw that mullet! LOL!

The conjecture on this thread is that the card led to this location, somehow.

Sounds like a wild goose chase.

[mostlyundecided]

home was broken into

The card came from this home, and I'll bet anything a gun was stolen in the break-in so they are looking for bullet fragments to see if it is the gun that is currently being used by the sniper.


I'll bet the owner used to do target shooting in the yard before the gun was stolen. This is why he isn't a suspect.

Wasn't one of the Islamic dudes arrested in WA former military? Reserves or something? Anybody?

You're a girl? Well, blow me down! Howdy, from one FReeper gal to another!

[sinkspur]

Fox News said there are a string of suspects involved in the sniper shootings.

I don't think FOX said anything about a "string of suspects."

[spycatcher]

Somebody needs to post a screen cap of the sweet mullet on that guy!

[blam]

Who's Randy Johnson?

[Shermy]

You following this??? Gotta adjust to my Dominican/Haitian/Philippino/Malaysian theory. If military, possible Philippine connection? Many in the military.

Whatever, such a unique and crazy case!

[Howlin]

I'm hoping for AQ or, at the very least, an illegal alien......LOL.

[sweetliberty]

"me thinks they are ON TO the PREVIOUS owner of that credit card....."

And possible previous owner of the gun?

[coramdeo]

I hope the police are onto something substantial here, and not another fiasco like the one that occurred on Monday with the two illegal aliens at the pay phone.

Well, you have to understand that here in Richmond we treat illegal aliens a little differently than they do in California and Texas.

YOU ALL SLOW THE HECK DOWN SO A GIRL CAN CATCH UP!

LOL!

Been on both sides. It will never happen.

[ConservativeMan55]

No bodies! Brian Wilson says no bodies are being looked for! Weapons only!

[snickeroon]

Wait a minute. Didn't they just hoist that thing into the truck by hand? Seemed like an awfully BIG tree stump to be so incredibly light.

[Howlin]

Search for weapons, bullet casings, or the ammo itself!
