Chief Moose Asks Sniper to Call Them Back
Beltway Sniper attempted contact last night !

Very short press conference where he simply states that the Beltway Sniper attempted contact and Chief Moose requested that he call them back.

[weegee]

Couldn't they just look up the address registered to that phone number?

[johnny7]

“Mmmmm... who did you say you were calling?

This is chief Moose speaking... call me back later so we can track you down.”

Next thing will be Dirty Harry dropping a bag full of money under a park tower.

Keystone Cops circa 2002! This is just some a-hole pulling Mooses chain.

Oh... I thought it was a different type of bullet?

[Don Munn]

The bullet is still in the person who was shot.

[kcvl]

There are any number of logical reasons for the wording of the announcement, and none of them give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

[KsSunflower]

It is my understanding that the bullet from last night's shooting remains in the victim....at least that's what we are being told by his doctors.

[marajade]

okay...

Somebody reported on a thread here within the past couple of days that the current National Enquirer has an article saying that the sniper has been leaving notes at several of his recent shooting sites. Has anybody seen the article?

[Recon by Fire]

I think that the number was for the Mars Pathfinder that Shiela Jackson Lee said was on the moon.

Or it might have been to the dead brain sucking alien that is still perched on her head.

Very goood. Moose seemed unnerved. Why would he make mention (first) of the great job that the Sheriff did last night???

Exactly. This was not a note left at the scene. Moose only mentioned a "message left at the Ponderosa". It was a phone message after the perp had got away.

He is ridiculing Moose's incompetence and forcing him to admit that the other chief in Ashland (anybody know is name?) deserves to be the lead investigator.

[FootBall]

..."To the person who left us a message at the Ponderosa last night...we do want to talk with you, please call the number that you provided"...

Maybe he left a Cell Phone behind for the police.

[Endeavor]

how 'bout reading the thread before posting? There are several options already suggested above your post.

Poor Moose thought he would move to Md. where his competence would never be questioned.

[EarlyBird]

The sniper left a note

It was not a note. It was a phone message.

[OldFriend]

Make that Inspector Moos-eau!

[weegee]

"We've traced the call. Get out of the station! The killer is on the upstairs line!!!"

[KsSunflower]

It was not a note. It was a phone message.

We don't know in what form the message was left. It could have been a phone message on the machine at the ponderosa, it could have been a note, or a cell phone...they haven't said...they haven't even said that it was from the sniper.

[Endeavor]

"Well, this is like bizaroo world." You are a number one right about that, Peach. Well said.

[rs79bm]

Here's the message:

If you want to talk to me, I'll call you at this number: 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Pretty simple, huh?

[aristeides]

It's not likely that a ME terorist would leave a number for the police.

Why not?
