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.

I love scavenger hunts!

We should organize one on FR!

[snippy_about_it]

never mind msnbc, whitcomb back tracking on his statements now.

[Spirited]

Yes, MSNBC has been the place to be for the last hour.

[Elenya]

Oh well, we got all night!

[rintense]

Two suspects. Other one is in Southern state of Alabama!!!!

[Catspaw]

BIGGER than Bin Laden? Whitcomb knows a helluva lot more than what he's saying on MSNBC.

[Route66]

If he did not know...why did he say it that way. Tacky.

[RobFromGa]

searches in Alabama???

[Miss Marple]

About the only thing that would stun me is if the perps were Orrin Hatch and Olympia Snowe. Otherwise, I am game for any suspect they propose.

[rintense]

Second Suspect in Alabama!!

[DeBug=int13]

 

 

In other words - Traitors

 

 

 

[Spirited]

Yes, MSNBC has been the place to be for the last hour. Fox says another place to be searched, Southern Alabama.

[Lion's Cub]

FOX saying AP is stating that if this clue checks out, it may lead to another clue. Sounds like a scavenger hunt to me.

They are smoking them out. The letter and the ransom were a psy-op to make Semi Osman wonder why he is sitting in jail while the rest of his cell were about to collect ten million dollars. Now they are releasing this new info, given by Osman, so the others come out of hiding and try to run. Then they've got 'em.

hunting for one in tacoma, one in alabama

[commish]

Back_tracking is putting in mildly.. whitcimb is falling all over himself retracting statements right and left. In the immortal words of Bugs "What a Maroon"

[Dog]

FOX.....they are looking for someone in ALABAMA also....

[TexKat]

Maybe the 2 illegals were connected with this guy(sniper) and have given him up for the award.

Mot according to James Zigler, INS Commissioner. He was on today saying that there was a special visa status that could be offered to illegals that assisted in helping LE solve the case, but not those 2.

[Mo1]

I won't buy anything if it says "iron,

Well I use to .. but I found that ironing was cutting into my online time .. LOL

[Peach]

Kim, given what we've heard about two military men possibly involved, perhaps it's sympathizers to AQ. Not an actual cell but working alone to cause terror and PROVE to AQ it can be done effectively.

>>Second Suspect in Alabama!!

I know its a big state.....
