Sniper Search near Seattle (digging for evidence)

Local NBC News Channel | Oct 23, 02 | MSNBC

[spycatcher]

MSNBC reporting sniper related digging and searching of a building in Tacoma WA. FBI is involved. May be related to something the sniper told police

[crypt2k]

Let's hope the sniper is not a booby trap specialist.

[agrandis]

This case gets more surreal by the minute.

"Not a dig for a body"

Speculation is that this may be why Moose called off the press conference. They said they were "looking in new directions"

[rintense]

My new theory: the sniper is an excon who was busted by Moose years ago. The sniper murdered someone in Seattle, stolen the credit card, and headed to DC for revenge.

"This case gets more surreal by the minute."

. . .cannot add anything to that. . .

[Arkinsaw]

It IS a dig for a body.

Local Connection To D.C. Sniper?

By KOMO Staff
October 23, 2002

TACOMA - FBI agents are searching in the backyard of a Tacoma duplex for some sort of evidence that might be linked to the D.C.-area sniper.

Agents were meticulously sweeping the backyard of the duplex near the corner of Center and Proctor Streets with metal detectors, but the FBI will not say what they're looking for.

Deborah Waters, a witness to the scene who lives across the street, says that agents had retrieved some sort of large object and put it in the back of a van. It's not known what the object is.

[Arkinsaw]

FOX reporting that other search warrants across the country and the correspondent says that we may see digging for more bodies elsewhere.

[Peaches]

Fox saying they are looking for a body. Could this be the body of whoever's credit card was stolen.
This is getting more weird by the hour. Strange!!

[Vob]

Fox news just showed video of what looked like a LEO using a geiger counter.

[Kerberos]

Fox New is reporting that there will be several search warrants served around the country. ??

[kcvl]

All over the country!!!

Fox is showing earth moving equipment in the yard of this house. . .

[dennisw]

Does this mean organized Muslim terror? That was my first thought.

[floriduh voter]

Whoa, I have chills. If there are various search warrants around the country, could it be AQ like many of us have been saying all along? Oooh, searching for a body in Tacoma, Washington. It's related to the sniper case. Shep says 3k miles away, a tip leads the FBI to a backyard on Proctor Street. The FBI is on scene. Chainsaws, metal detectors. They are searching for a body. BRIAN WILSON SAYS: Wilson can't discuss but similar search warrants are being served as we speak in different locations around the country. First visible sign of a major action by the police that may be related to the sniper case. Info sketchy. Very reliable sources - search warrants. First one is in Tacoma, Washington, looking for a body at a house. SHEP: Safe to say this came from a tip? BRIAN: I don't know. SHEP: LE says they believe there is a connection. Searching on this street, metal detectors, chainsaw, excavator in relation to serial sniper investigation clear across the country. Fox News end of report.

[kcvl]

This is so WEIRD!!!

[ConservativeMan55]

Search Warrants all over the country?
Sounds like Muslim Extremists to me.

[spycatcher]

You may be right that the case is all about the Moose-man. Yeah the stolen credit card was a huge mistake. He should have just demanded to use the anonymous account where they provide the reward money
