Naw, been around a year or so, after Sept. 11.

Now you need to figure out who's financing your people, seriously.

BWA-HAA-HAAAA !!!!
Love it!! That looks alot like my cat...lol (without the one funky eye, of course.)

[md2576]

Another funny thing.

It seems Shadow Warriors is a game described here.

There is a cheat code that gives you God level in this game.

AHHhhhh!

[txhurl]

Hey, wake up, frijole, and go fetch the dollar/peso exchange rate. Or can we pay you in fighting chickens?

[hispanarepublicana]

Naw. Just invite me to the wedding the next time you marry a cousin and barbecue a squirrel....

[Nogbad]

Morton J. Ballard Ping.

[txhurl]

Thanks, reminds me, I'm startin' to show a little. Better pick out the china.

[hispanarepublicana]

I'm startin' to show a little

From the cousin or all that squirrell?

[txhurl]

Oh, please don't ping Mitchell. I'm too frazzled to diagram my sentences and cite all my sources.

Who are you, anyway, Bobby Inman?

[txhurl]

Nogbad just set the dogs on us.

[agrandis]

By Jove! You may be on to something!

One thing: I have never fired a paintball gun, but could one become an accomplished shot with a regular firearm just by using a paintball gun? In other words, if he sights in his paintball gun, does that mean he can make the same kind of shots with a rifle shooting .223? I'm not sure. Would be interesting to know if your suspect also goes to the range.

[Nogbad]

No, just Nogbad

[agrandis]

Another interesting point: I have always thought it was probably someone who lived in the area, and had a wife or something at home, because he skipped the weekends, and the shootings were always in the morning or evenings. He was killing between work and being at home, more or less.

[txhurl]

Oh, just Tony Blair.

Whew. I was gettin' paranoid there for a minute.

[agrandis]

Have you seen this?

Good morning, md2576.

I just found this thread and have glanced through the links as well. Several days ago, I googled for sniperstory and received the 'page not found' notice. Thank you for providing the cached link.

Your theory (and associated research) is excellent. I have one thing to add that I'm sure you have thought of, but I didn't see it on this thread. Shadow's pressure washing business requires that he travel from job to job hauling equipment and supplies to each worksite. I wonder if he has one or more white vans as the similar businesses in my area do. It is also possible that he uses magnetic signs that could easily be removed.

Again, excellent work!

We play a little paintball around the house with relatively inexpensive equipment. If I chose to purchase some of the more sophisticated models available, I'm certain it would improve my shooting.

Incidentally, my husband is an avid gun collector and hunter and I accompany him deer hunting several times a year. The very first time I went, he selected a gun for me and directed me to a specific stand. He had just sighted in the scope and I took great care not to jar it to effect alignment. I got a six point with one shot (and I was shaking so badly the whole shooting house was moving). One to two hundred yard shots are relatively easy even to an amateur with the right equipment.

Most of this has been posted on my thread. Thank you for additional comments. We also spoke of him traveling to NC to fill in for employees on a contract he had. How far does he travel for his contract?

[md2576]

Uh oh! LOL

Nero Wolf would be proud.
