Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

Posted on 10/23/2002 2:39:33 AM PDT by Peach

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.

You think? If they have an idea of who he might be, wouldn't he be watched in DC?

They are digging up stumps, and placing them on a tarp... now all the dirt from the hole is going on the tarp.

This is not a place anyone would have done target practice into a stump.

"We remain concerned about the safety of all the people in our region,"

And the people in the nation. If they are not making any arrest at this time, should we all sleep prepared tonight.

as mentioned before - they xrayed the stump before cutting and removing it.

Do you or anyone else think that someone came forward to collect the reward money and maybe, just maybe they have the Shooter in custody already?

It's very confusing.

"If they have an idea of who he might be, wouldn't he be watched in DC?"

I'd think they were 99% sure of who he/they is/are, and they're doing this to "spook" him into doing something that lets them nab him.

That's what I'm thinking.. of course, I'm thinking all sorts of things! :)

they prolly would,
but first they'd have to know where to find him ...

i kinda doubt they've got that much at this point.
would imagine he/they are watching all this unfold on the tube,
assuming they didn't already have another excursion planned for tonight ...

Western Washington State (Tacoma) connection to Beltway Sniper?

I saw the neighbor's interview...

FBI's been checking the place out since last night.
