one would think that information could prompt additional leads from the public

The police policy of withholding information from the public hasn't stopped the sniper killings. Bottomline.

Just getting to this thread today. From what has been said on WRVA this morning, enough parents called the school superintendents that they decided to closes the schools today. The original decision made yesterday afternoon was for the schools to remain open under lockdown. Then late last night/early this morning, they changed their minds due to the number of parent complaints.

I think it's a big mistake. There is no information about what will cause them to decide to open schools again. Also, Randolph Macon College is closed as well. This is a small college in Ashland. They were under lock down Saturday night. Not sure if they are still under lockdown but I think they are.

Thanks for link. In the article: NBC reports the note was lengthy and had detailed threats. Should LEO inform us what those threats were?

don't you agree it would be HUGE NEWS if linda franklin's husband got a look at the shooter? if it is valid at all, it has to be INSIDE INFO, because those of us obsessing on this case certainly were not aware of it!

Sources tell MSNBC that the note was detailed, and lets them know what he may do next.."We could be entering a very difficult time now"..per Bob Kerr..Also right now a white van close to a phone booth has been stopped in Richmond..

Radio reporting that a white van has been stopped and a suspect arrested. Corner of Parham and Broad. My husband just went through that area and it's crawling with LE. Burgundy vehicle may also be involved. Helos in the air right over that area.

Don't have much more right now.

It would be huge news, but then again, it could endanger Mr. Franklin should this be revealed.

Any LEO who revealed a witness name who got a good look at shooter would be irresponsible in the extreme.

WRVA is back to Glenn Beck now. Will post more if I hear more. There was something about a phone booth but I didn't hear the whole report on the radio. Might have been that phone number Moose referred to in his comments yesterday.
