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.

They're searching with metal detectors for something buried.

LOL! I brought the little tv I have in my workout room. I can't take running back and forth anymore. Too much stuff breaking, too fast.

They're grinding a tree stump? Maybe a body was buried and a tree planted on top of it.

Just checked in with Fox - heard the info they are serving search warrants around the country. I'm sort of freaking out, I don't mind telling you.

I wish I had listen to all those posts from people in Seattle, Portland, etc., regarding Moose.

It's yugoslavian, anyway. A surname for both some serbs and croats...

Or he used the stump for target practice, or something. Bullet casings?

FBI agents in Seattle acted after investigators in the D.C.-area shootings called asking them to check it out.

WOW.

When they show the big trucks, check out the cargo. Silver wrapped - big enough to be a body.

On second thought, they just wouldn't DIG up a body and throw it in the back of a van without all that other "detective forensic" stuff, would they?

Now why would someone bury spent shell casings, unless they were spent in that backyard...

We just finished our dinner when MSNBC broke in with the Tacoma, WA stuff - and then my Mom called and told she was watching FOX and that's where she heard about the search warrants "around the country". Yikes!!!
