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.

SEATTLE - KING 5 News has learned of a possible link between the sniper investigation in Washington D.C. and Western Washington. Tacoma police have sectioned off a backyard in Tacoma and are searching it using metal detectors and chain saws.

The search in Tacoma is now being conducted in the 3300 block of South Proctor Street near the Tacoma Mall. FBI agents in Seattle acted after investigators in the D.C.-area shootings called asking them to check it out.

How about this. The sniper murdered someone, stole the credit card, headed to DC to get some revenge against the cop who busted him...

If I've never told you how much I appreciate you and your posts, I do and thank you. Back to business: That FReeper I was speaking of had photos, he said were from the protest in Seattle back a few years ago. YES, the Portland people who were in that area during Moose's tenure don't speak well of him, for some very good reasons, seemed to me.

"Smiiiiiile, you are on candid camera!"

Time to send in the R-7s, huh? (Six hours without refueling). We will catch the bastardS (emphasize plural), yet!

Maybe the link to Tacoma came from the stolen credit card number. They need to keep the guy talking. The more he talks, the more information about himself he gives away. I think it's especially important that they force the sniper to come up with another location for the blackmail money.

The are doing a dig, not for body but for evidence related to the sniper.

Perhaps it is from something in one of the sniper's notes?

Well, that does it. No so-called LONE NUT. (If a nationwide search is underway at multiple locations). Explains why the news conference in Montgomery was delayed just now....

Hi Kim,

Nope, it's a weeklong trip: I just brought the laptop along with me. :)

I'm in MD and VA until Tuesday, when I fly home.
