Maybe he looks something like this.

Yugos are masters of urban sniping...

Good point. Release the photo so the public can help find the guy.

His national origin(s) would explain the irregular grammar and spelling of the letters the police have received. It might also explain their difficulty in communicating over the phone with the sniper.

Also, I would not put it past a former-Communist or modern Frenchman to put money or ransom high on the priority list....everything they do has to have a price paid by someone else.

You may want to direct your attention towards a New World Order government operative. Just another part of the plan to get rid of Constitutional Rights and bring about Globalism.

I doubt the french have released a picture of him. Last I heard they had not released to the public his last name. He may well have Yugoslavian heritage but I imagine he is a french citizen if he is in their military. It has been speculated that he was a member of the peace keeping force in the former Yugoslavia and that seems far more credible to me.

If anyone sees an update, name or picture of this marksman, please ping me.

P A R I S, Oct. 21 — France has alerted Interpol about a French army deserter who is known as a marksman and is missing in North America. A Defense Ministry spokesman said there was speculation of a link to the investigation into the Washington-area sniper.

The 25-year-old second lieutenant, who was not identified, did not return to class in September at the elite military school, Saint-Cyr Coetquidan in Brittany, in western France, after going on vacation in August, officials said.

... The deserter was given permission for an August trip to the United States and Canada, said Bureau. Police sources said he had planned a trip to Chicago.

RTL radio reported the deserter was of Yugoslav origin, but Bureau could not confirm that, saying that he had to be a French citizen to attend the military school.

After the missing officer never showed up for school in September, the gendarmerie, a force under the Defense Ministry, sent a note last week to the Interior Ministry. Interpol was then contacted, said Bureau.
