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.

My take is that even the Tacoma Police didn't know untill a neighbor called the PD to report strangers (FBI) in her block...

Exactly, they've taken a stump into custody. They nailed the Miranda Rights statement to the tree and it is sufficient as notification to the suspected tree.

Geez, what a crazy scenario but I'm guessing they were there early, dug one out, had it tested and decided this was the best way to preserve evidence as ridiculous as it may seem.

Well, at least I got some laudry done so I don't have to wear my short shirts. I'd have an awful time trying to explain this 1-888-____ number on my belly. :-)

FOX saying another suspect in another part of the country, but can't say since warrants have not been served.

Kim - MSNBC reporting not terrorism - just a couple of guys? A couple of military guys, no doubt. Oh, shit. I didn't want it to be AQ but didn't want it to be military guys, either.

From another fr thread;

OK here's the deal people

Chris Whitcomb on MSNBC. This is not terrorism. There's a couple guys involved and we'll know all about it shortly. He knows more but can't say now.

Chris Whitcomb former FBI "This is not terrorism or al-Quaeda" on MSNBC Is speaking very authoritatively.
"More than 1 person involved" "Manhunt to follow"

Naw, they'll toss it on a plane & fly it to Rockville. I hope they don't spend my tax dollars on sending it first class. Coach is good enough.

Hi all. I was gone for about 2 and a half hours and there's 1000 new posts!!! What's going on? Last I heard, Moose was supposed to give a briefing about 6 and now there's weird stories about yards being dug up in WA State?! I'm going to start reading, but does anyone want to do a quick recap? Thanks!
