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.

It's just amazing that with all the media speculation they didn't look more deeply into the question of why the Caprice was not being considered -- at least as a possible second vehicle.

After all, the car was the only other vehicle mentioned seriously early on, but just got swamped by white van hysteria. It was never discounted. It was pretty much understood anyhow that these guys would no longer be using a white van once that became the sole focus of police.
