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.

To be fair..it was a misreport from me. I ran 2 thoughts together. They believe the investigators are looking for shell casings and they are taking a tree trunk. They said it more than once. I think they are taking the trunk to see if it was used for target practice.

Oh I don't doubt you are right that is what they are looking for... it just doesn't make any sense.

Why should I require sense? - None of this is normal.

MSNBC talking head just said "I'm Stumped"

Tacoma PD and FBI news conference on now after all!

Ah the adults! Yes, the same adults that thought a white guy gunned down two CIA employees in 1993 but it turned out the killer was a Pakistani terrorist. But, hey, what do I know! I'm not an adult.

Maybe we've exhausted the discussion about the trunk, but what kind of tree is that? Did I miss something? I know it was a big one.

CNN is going to release the names of two individuals wanted for questioning? Did LEO's approve the release? This should come from the FBI - not CNN.
