Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

Posted on 10/23/2002 2:39:33 AM PDT by Peach

Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

They have a search for "evidence" in Tacoma.... not hoping to find the sniper but "background and history" related to the case. Whatever the heck that means.

Is it possible this sniper might be an excon that Moose busted years ago in Portland????? Now that we're seeing activity in Seattle, I wonder if this might be the case???

It certainly would explain why Moose has been the point of contact.

HMmm .. could be a connection to Chief Moose who used to be in Portland. Could be that this is personal.

Or a 'copy cat'. Or transcontinental diversion to shake up everyone for something even more terrible. Who knows. Keep cool. Check those scanners, folks. Keep posting!

I don't know what %age of trafficked parking lots or gas stations, bus stops, etc., are surrounded by wooded areas out there. Maybe there are just too many areas to be patroled.

The same sniper tactics would be harder to pull off here in the Los Angeles area. We have no real thick woodsy areas near commercial areas. You'd have to be pretty skinny to hide behind a palm tree and get off your shot.

Well that is what a FReeper kept saying, in here, wanted to post some pictures he felt were pertinent. I think he got flamed, or something. Groan.

Did they ever say the location of where the credit card that he wanted the cash to go to, had been stolen from? Was it east coast or west coast?

A possibility. Could be an Ex-Con that Moose helped jail. OR it could be terrorist related and just a coincidence that it is near Moose's old jurisdiction.
