The more I look at that truck (assuming that it is used by the snipers), the more I think these guys must have safehouses nearby each shooting site. That truck would not be my choice for a fast getaway. It must be going into a garage nearby.

Good point re hiding the truck, or perhaps it's a delivery truck and parked at place of employment. (Might have to go quickly - thunderstorm moving in).

“That truck would not be my choice for a fast getaway.”

If empty that truck might not be all that slow – and remember it would be in fairly heavy traffic where acceleration would not help.
It is about the most common local delivery truck around, making it blend in easily. It could also be the shooter’s working vehicle as he seems to kill only on Monday – Friday.

Seems a strange choice all around. I'd want a vehicle as common and nondescript as I could get. These twisted bastards must be wanting to get caught ... eventually.

The sniper/snipers hit 4 times on the second day. Sounds to me that move was to get the attention of local police, ATF, and FBI right away--that morning. Why the rush? Is something bigger going on while all those resources are involved with each murder? This/these sniper/snipers are operating within a limited time frame and most probably, neither has ever been associated with either vehicle until the past ten days. Why didn't he/they "hit" last weekend (or so far, this weekend)? Duhhhh!!! That's not hard to figure out. There are not fifteen gozillion white box trucks and white delivery mini-vans flying around on the weekend. The key here are the vehicles. We will not see the white box truck at a crime scene again. I believe they loaded the van into the box truck (if it is large enough and strong enough) in one or two early cases, then used both somehow in later shootings to evade capture. The box truck now is OUT!!! Let's pray hard that these are local homegrown nuts, and that they are not part of a scheme to distract attention from what is really going on behind the scenes with all the local, state. and federal agency law enforcement looking the other way.
