One of the most intriguing clues is the void of killings on weekends. To me this says the sniper is either a local student skipping school, his parents are home on weekends and he has less flexibility on those days. Or, it could be an intentional effort to target a community during their busiest and most vulnerable time -- during the work/school week. It's anyone's guess. On a side note, isn't this region where the majority of anthrax letters were mailed?

Avoiding weekends could just reflect the shooter's concentration on escape and evasion. Traffic much lighter on weekends.

Government employee, doesn't run his courier routes during the weekends and he won't strike today as it is a federal holiday.

Many of the anthrax letters were mailed to the D.C. area (and many to NYC media), but they were postmarked Trenton, NJ.

As the parent of a teenager, who is a great kid, active in church, hangs with youth group kids, volunteers at the hospital, umpires little league games...I can assure you, teenagers are not home on the weekends.

I'm convinced this has more to do with traffic than religion. More trucks on the road, more confusion. Most of the shootings have been done at heavy traffic times.
