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.

[undergroundwarrior]

Why does this crime spree have to be either Muslims or "Rednecks"???

Perhaps, a Muslim terrorist group has contracted out with some homegrown anarchists??? Just like Oklahoma???

[marajade]

Me too... But you gotta work the leads no matter how maddening or humiliating they are...

[aristeides]

Ted Williams has done great work for Chandra Levy's family.

[jonathonandjennifer]

Fox is saying the authorities are asking them to not try and understand the message. They just want them to play it repeatedly.

Ironicly, this is the same thing that the DNC has been telling the press regarding their 2002 election platform...

LOL...........Good one, weegee!

[MHT]

Ted Williams, I believe, is also a former policeman. Moose is a former urban studies graduate student.

[SarahW]

Jimmy was also, on occasion, a "Newkier" scientist.
He's never said "nuclear", though.

[Moose-Owie]

Cell phones are used frequently as DETONATION devices...

This is true. Spooky. Hope its a witness.

[EarlyBird]

Could be a bomb I suppose. But definitely a backfire, since calling the number puts the sniper in complete control, which obviously means we have NO control.

[KsSunflower]

Habib?? All this time, I thought his name was Achhhh-med! That's the name FReepers generally give ME types!

Well, yeah...everyone suspects Achhhh-med, that's why they used Habib for the sniping. Geesh! Do we have to spell it out for you?? :0)

[LowOiL]

how long will it be before we have a composite photo of the telephone?

Got a head cold and you ain't helping matters none making me snort over here.

[teeman8r]

obviously the sniper is carrot top.... he's been dialing down the center for far too long and now it is his time to "collect"...

[Neenah]

Gimme that phone number, quick !!

[EggsAckley]

You know perhaps Moose knows exactly what he is doing and saying.

You know, that's eggsackley why I haven't jumped into this panty raid. Wait and watch is my motto. I don't think it's necessary to act like a bunch of sugar-dosed kids and ridicule everything from a guy's name to the way he talks, as a reason for discrediting him. This is not JUST your ordinary, run-of-the-mill murder investigation. I personally hope LE is NOT revealing all they know.

[mewzilla]

Here's something else I was wondering about: what happens if the perp really does want something and he gets tired of playing footsie with some closed mouthed Feds? Wonder if the Feds have a contingency prepared if the shooter decides to do an end run around them and go public with what he wants?

[TexKat]

Now I understand about the tarot card and message.It was meant to be a I.D.between caller and police,something no one else would know,it would give the caller credibility.I do not think this is alocal nut job.

Check out Google for the data on the Islamic version of I am God.

[John Jamieson]

BL and friends send out regular messages to us, by audio and video tapes. We just stick our head in the sand and ignore them.

In this case you don't even know the message is from a shooter instead of a witness.

[EarlyBird]

I can only hope you are wrong, otherwise that could mean that he is blackmailing us with something much bigger.

[looney tune]

LOL! I know this is serious stuff, but you guys are killing me!

[eno_]

This is blackmail. The shooter has been proving we can't stop them. They could be asking for money, but my guess is they want someone who's pretty high up in the food chain released. Zubaydah?

Damn good theory! If they are communicating, it is for some purpose.

[mickie]

When did Chief Moose say this note was from the sniper?
I didn't hear him say who it was from.
Could have been a witness to the shooting. What do you think?
