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.

And why a U-Haul as opposed to an FBI/Police vehicle?

They had one guy with a little metal detector and another guy crawling along feeling the surface of the earth with his bare hands. Don't know what you can tell from that.

I REALLY want to believe it's a lone nut who wandered the country killing people. I can't tell you how scared I got when I heard they were serving search warrants around the country. Associated Press is reporting FBI agents are searching the backyard of a duplex and it's related to the sniper killings.

3300 block of South Proctor Street

HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY HEARD THE HOUSE NUMBER? I can run a search on prior owners of that house.
