Thanks for being one of the few it seems who is not trying to trash Chief Moose for the lack of success in tracking down this killer. He's just a honest-seeming cop who's suddenly had the biggest case of his life drop squarely in his lap. I doubt he likes or wants all the notoriety he has found.

>>I doubt he likes or wants all the notoriety he has found.<<

I don't know if I agree. He seems to have a whole lot of " we have nothing new" press conferences like he's hogging the camera. I am sure he wishes that he were becoming popular under more positive circumstances but face it he's a cop and he's going to get in front of the camera because he deals with nasty stuff.

I saw the sherrif that was in charge of the Samantha Runion case on TV the other day pimping for Arnold and his Prop 49 or whateve the after school initiative is in California. This is the kind of stuff that can put one in the mayors office, or the govenors mansion, or congress.

I'm not saying he's enjoying it- he'd have to be as sick as they sniper to actually enjoy it. But why not take advantage of the opportunity- he didn't cause it hes just the one that has to deal with it. Face it- this is going to be an awesome book when all is said and done and they bad guy is dead- we already know there are details we don't know. This is his fifteen minutes.

And yes, besides seeming to get as much camera time as he can get he also seems a wee bit in over his head. Not because he's hasn't solved it but becuase he doesn't seem to have the slightest indication of what he needs to do to get anywhere near solving it. It seems he is acting reactively rather than proactively. Hopefully all just seems that way and in reality there is lots of movement goign on that we in the public don't know about.

And I have to admit- his fear came screaming through in the afternoons press conference. That doesn't inspire confidence, it sends off the warning alarms that all is even worse that it seems. I am on the other coast from where this is happening and I was scared after that press conference.

But all that said I will agree with the original posting that started these responsees. We DO need to pray for Moose and his men. Pray to strengthen them for what they face, pray for them to have the wisdom they need to get this guy.
