Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002

Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

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.

That doesn't seem far from where Moose use to live


Hey Grampa Dave .. do you know anything about this area??

News conference out of Tacoma in 15 minutes says msnbc.

[rintense]

Ha!

[HairOfTheDog]

Maybe an American Express card... they don't have pre-determined limits!

I am still watching MSNBC, just to be different. They are announcing a Tacoma news conference in 15 minutes.

[Dog]

OH CRAP!

Could they be looking for the body of the stolen credit card owner the sniper used???

News conference in Tacoma in 15 mins (per MSNBC)

FEds confirm the raid in Tacoma is related.

[HairOfTheDog]

I live there. What are you curious about?

[LO_IQ]

A FReeper was flamed for posting an article about Moose's son being busted for dealing crack five years ago.

Maybe there is some connection to Moose or his son.

Choppers in Tacoma over south end of city. Just north of McCord and Fort Lewis.

[rintense]

I mentioned that some 10 posts ago! Get with the program, Dog! :-p

[Dog]

Media is saying they are holding back stuff...

[Mo1]

Fox is confirming the raid in Tacoma Wahington is related to the sniper

They have a front end loader and is putting something in a rental truck

[rintense]

Ok, any Tacoma freepers? What area is the 3300 block of Proctor street like?

[Dog]

I am a slow typer.....:-)

[HairOfTheDog]

This search area is on Proctor near Tacoma Mall.

Actually, the "all around the country" part is disappointing. I take that to mean that they don't have a significant lead to follow - more like they hope that a big sweep will net something.

On Fox right now they're loading something into the back of a truck.

PS. I'm amazed by one thing -> the Sun is shining in Tacoma in late October. I lived in the area (Redmond) for seven years and that's rare.

[mhking]

They have a search for "evidence" in Tacoma

When you said Tacoma, both my wife and I thought Takoma Park, MD (which is in Montgomery County).

[Sacajaweau]

It may be a metal detector or a GPR unit (ground penetrating Radar) which picks up underground disturbances...or both.
