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.

One of the neighbors at the duplex said "they were out here early this morning, with little red flags stuck in the ground...we thought they were looking for a body or a meth lab"...para.

They've been looking since THIS morning!

Brian Turvey--he's a profiler who came out of nowhere a week or two ago to say the cops are doing everything wrong & only he knows what is the Right Thing.

I refuse to believe that even the media nitwits would do such a thing. I won't believe it.

I think the banner at the bottom of the screen said he was a forensic detective; I'd never heard him before on any of the shows and he was excellent (which is why the shows won't use him - he shows the reporters up to be the ignorant asses they are).

Probably the same reason that Dog and Mo1 said- the sniiper is a loose cannon and killed 5 people because of incompetence.

if.....this is the most dramatic leak I've ever seen.

NAH, that would be the media tipping off the Davidians at Waco ruining the surprise raid.

"Thankfully, the kids all have things to do tonight "

You mean you didn't force them to sit and watch 'history in the making'??? LOL

P.S. - My wife and I solved the computer problem by getting each of the kids their own (inexpensive) ones. Then we started fighting over phone lines for dial-up (before the days of cable modems and DSL).
