Mistakes were made. Looks like Chief Moose overruled D.C. Chief Ramsey and the task force went off on a wild duck chase

The white van will be the subject of conspiracy fans for years to come. Chalk it up with the "grassy knoll".

One of the witnesses in the Alabama case is supposed to have mentioned seeing "a white van". Hmmmm....

Something mentioned on Rush's show: if the sniper is smart, and an opportunity killer like most serial killers are, he probably waited until a white van appeared, and then took his shot. Then the police are off on a wild goose chase looking for a specific vehicle while he (and his accomplice) drive off in a blue Capri, passing right through roadblocks. Another smart move would be to just sit there after the shot and wait. No one is looking for a blue car with two black guys in it, so the police probably would either ignore them or actually tell them to get out of the area ASAP.

I had wondered if the white van was just a decoy. In one of the early shootings, have the kid screech off in a white van, so that everyone notices. Then, while everyone is out looking for a white van/truck (only a gazillion of those in the U.S.!), they are using the car with the hole in the trunk.

No, No, they meant white man.

There could still be someone else involved that was driven the white vehicle as a decoy. Remember Moose just blew this off when asked about it. This is far from over. And we are in it for the long haul.

"Eyewitnesses are not reliable," said James Starrs, professor of forensic science at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. This is what you should take from the story. I hope every time we see another thread about some secret conspiracy to hide the truth, these words come back and echo. It is the "white vans" that most of those tales are based on.

Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose, who leads the sniper investigation, was also asked about the car, but seemed to brush it aside.I would like to read the police report of the witness who saw the car drive away. Did they mention the race of the driver?

Mohammed's girlfriend in NJ was known to have a white van. Both she and it are missing.

A local DC talk show host is talking about a "White Van and Truck Driver Appreciation Day" so the community can kiss and make up with those who were put through so much grief and aggravation during the last three weeks. So far, I haven't heard any complaints from drivers of white vans and trucks about what they've gone through. All comments have been good-natured. I'm sure they wanted the killers caught along with everyone else.
