A composite graphic issued by the FBI (news - web sites) and the Montgomery County, Md., police to the news media shows the white box truck that authorities say multiple witnesses reported seeing at more than one of the sniper shootings in the Washington, D.C., suburbs. The graphic was issued by police October 12, 2002, at Montgomery County police headquarters in Rockville, Md.

I don't know how long this will stay here.

[facedown]

Oh sure, put it up while I'm finding the source!

I've been wondering if it isn't a work truck/vehicle. He didn't shoot anyone last weekend.

[gorebegone]

During Fox news coverage of the 13 year old who got shot, the helicopter cam swung around and was watching a police car pull up to this type truck as two guys were getting out of it. The appeared to be several blocks from the high school and behind a store. Wonder if there was any connection. The news commentator made no mention of the truck at that time. Did anyone else notice this coverage last Monday?

[nicmarlo]

thanks for posting the pic.....now a question, what about the white van we've heard about as opposed to this white truck?

[virgil]

Maybe the killer shoots people then goes to work.

[demlosers]

Multiple vehicles multiple shooters?

[RAT Patrol]

Well, I was thinking maybe he's a delivery person.

[M. Peach]

I thought that the white van they were looking for was a Chevy Astro Van, with a white ladder on top. Are there two types they are looking for?

What's up with that? Surely, with all of this coverage, someone must know who drives this van. 99.9% of the area must know about this, and I find it hard to believe that someone doesn't know who this truck belongs to.

The death mobile? hmmm.. I thought they said that last night's shooting was from a white Astro van.

[kellynla]

One thing for sure that is certainly not a Chevy Astro van.
With all the video cameras in place everywhere you would think that they would have come up with something by now.

[RAT Patrol]

I heard the Astro Van description too--and the ladder top.

[blackbag]

"maybe he is a delivery person"

or maybe he plans his hits to coincide with
similar delivery/ service truck schedules.
Everyone watchin for the truck, he waits till truck is leaving target location then takes his shot. Sits watchin at a distance or leaves in something else, not in a hurry.
Maybe a similar truck in the area is his que.

Beautiful sketch!

There have to be, at minimum, several thousand, and possibly tens of thousands, white Mitsubishi Fuso or similar box trucks in the DC Metro Area.

" I thought that the white van they were looking for was a Chevy Astro Van, with a white ladder on top. Are there two types they are looking for?

On the FNC, they described a box van and an astro van at different shootings. They just haven't released a composite of the astro van.
