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.

When did the word SUSPECT become unusable in this language?

No, I haven't talked to her yet, but I'm just about to call her (she's 85 and has, successfully, been undergoing chemo for fallopian tube cancer -- she's a fireball for 85, in really great shape). She's probably finding this kind of exciting in a weird way. But I'll check in on her and get her take and report back!

Nevermind, Whitcomb is just one of those FORMER FBI agents. He doesn't know anything. Bah.

I echo that sentiment.

I'll try;

6 pm by moose cancelled. Scene moves to tacoma where fbi search for ballistic evidence from a back yard where a former Fort Lewis soldier lived. Dig up tree trunk to fly it to Rockville Maryland. Confirmed that this is related to sniper in D.C. News reports other similar searches going on in various location across the country (won't say where).

Sniper is American of hispanic extraction, still at large.

Moose may have news conference around 10 pm tonight.

Welcome to bizzaro world.

Don't know, just switched from Fox to MSNBC which appears to be more informative.

Are you looking at MSNBC. This is going to be the biggest bust and the American people are going to be shocked.

Please elaborate.

I cannot figure out the rose bushes either...The reporter seemed a bit surprised too~!

Maybe they were just so pretty, and since they were already there with shovels and all....it would be just so convenient....this is the season to transplant!!...LOL

Because the word "SUSPECT" means that they get all kinds of Constitutional protections, a public defender, the Miranda, etc. If they're persons of interest, the FBI, ATF, USSS, US Marshals, Postal Inspectors, Maryland State Police, Virginia State Police and at least six counties in Maryland & Virgina--oh, as well as DC--just want to have a little chat with them.

You go to work and check. Oak-ay, I mean, ok. I do a load of laundry and check. I iron a golf shirt and check. You get the idea. Just color me checkers.

Way out on a LIMB. I love it. Glad I wasn't sipping from what was left of my vodka tonic.
