I am not a conpiracy theorist. I hope it is not terrorism. But the man (men?) is very efficient. He doesn't seem to want to be caught. Yet he stays close to D.C. He doesn't move on or lay low. He is intent on spreading terror. For whom or for what purpose? Of course we don't know.
I recall some Jacksonville area incidents a couple of years back regarding an individual shooting at trains. I don't believe the shooter was ever apprehended.
There was at least one similar incident in Wyoming a year or so before the Oklahoma City bombing, in which a railcar transoporting a Minuteman missile was struck by rifle fire. the shooter targeted the correct car to hit the multimillion-dollar cargo inside, and even directed his fire to the correct end of the car to destroy the guidance control *brains* of the aerospace vehicle, which was described as a total write-off. There was no warhead fitted while it was in transit, of course. Again, no apprehension, so no conviction.

I believe Hoosier gay serial murderer Larry Eyler committed several back-to-back murders, some with an accomplice [Indiana State University professor Robert David Little was so named in one case, found not guilty in that one instance, and has remained free since. Eyler, on his deathbed from AIDS, implicated Little in several other murders for which he was never charged.] and one series in which 4 bodies were found in the same rural abandoned farmhouse/barn location.
Eyler confessed to twenty-one of some 40 similar deaths then under investigation in that area, though the killings also continued after his arrest. Another possible suspect, from the Indianapolis area, committed suicide [shotgun] after learning he too was a suspect.
Interestingly, Eyler was at one time a suspect in some instances of a rifleman shooting from ambush at passing cars, and was known to have posed as a former Marine. But Eyler died in an Illinois prison of AIDS on 06 March, 1994.
That would likely be Charlie Starkweather and Caril AnnFugate you're thinking of, previously discussed in the FReeppost *here* and following posts. Their activities began in Nebraska, midwestern enough, but concluded in Wyoming, when the first of their victims to resist wrestled a handgun away from the 19-year-old desperado, executed a year later.
And after that, he never did it again.
