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.

Dog - just tuned in. What's your take on this - looking for info on a guy who may have killed in Tacoma, but then why all the warrants all around the country? I'm thinking cells but can't get a take on Fox right now.

I just switched to FNC - we got tired of seeing that same fireman move that same stump multiple times.

It looked BIGGER than a body -- it looked like that whole silery tarp was filled with earth.

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

Looks like ballistics from the DC cases have matched other (unsolved) cases throughout the country.

Were they arrested before or after the sniper began killing?

Isn't Seattle supposed to be a major hangout of terrorists?

Rintense: I've been away from the thread for a while but I'm assuming you're serious. You're certainly no where near to Tacoma, I imagine. Any idea what's going on?

I still think this has something to do with what happened today with the school bus driver.

All over the country! OMG!!!

Just remember, on the bright side, it looks like we may FINALLY have some kind of break.

Better than nothing.

I saw them dump whatever was in the silver thing into the truck then throw the silver 'wrap' empty back out of the truck.

Not a body do you think. Evidence crews take forever to photo and collect evidence before moving.
