Overnite, two men arrested while sleeping in their car at a reststop in MD. John Mohammed aka John Williams and his stepson Lee Malvo. Mohammad is thought to be the likely shooter.

I might have missed that Kim, but his second wife with 3 kids lives in Maryland, whose white vehicle is missing or was earlier this morning. They interviewed a neigbor of hers a little earlier (the young black guy that was talking about seeing Mohammad one day when he was walking his dogs).The second wife and 3 children have not been seen by the neighbor today and perhaps yesterday.

Anyone figure out HOW these two were able to view Moose's messages if they were living in their car?

[wardaddy]

That is simply not true Gal, there was plenty of talk about McVeigh being attracted to Christian Identity and National Alliance dogma.

[berkeleybeej]

The second wife and 3 children have not been seen by the neighbor today and perhaps yesterday

Maybe protective custody?

[cyncooper]

a major hispanic strain has run through this entire case, from early on. This isn't complete nor is it over.

Right now I'm thinking these "sources" were wrong, but you may be right and there may be more people involved.

[Freedom2specul8]

I'm telling ya, I got it all mixed up. Too much to absorb w/little sleep. My apologies. (I woke up 2 times last night, got up at 6am..arrrgh)

Radio.

[dhfnc]

I believe they just said it incorrectly.

[mondonico]

"Anyone figure out HOW these two were able to view Moose's messages if they were living in their car?"

Newspapers?

[Howlin]

Now why didn't I think of that!

[rintense]

Yes, it was FOX and it was Shep. He later backtracked and stumbled over the words to correct what he had said. It was hysterical.

[TexKat]

msnbc just said he's NOT a stepson.

Step-son, play-son in some cultures its all the same. The bottom line this 17-year old has been in the custody of Mohammad for some time. Media has talked about everyone else except Malveaux's mother.

[mhking]

LOL. She is a very bright person.:)I can't get away with anything unless she's in the mood to let it slide, which ain't often. :)(neither can anybody else)

She sounds an awful lot like my wife...

[TomGuy]

I could be wrong, but I think it was FOX.

Yep. The oh-so-intelligent Shep Smith screwed that one up. ;-) Was fun to watch him sweat. :p

Poor Shep tried for 5 minutes to explain and remain PC....it was laughable. He finally succumbed to using "American Indian" to deliniate. It was funny to watch him squirming around the words.

[Frapster]

Yes I do and a major hispanic strain has run through this entire case, from early on. This isn't complete nor is it over.

the only time I saw a mexican strain in this case is when they grabbed those two guys at that pay phone. I don't know why they were asking for mexicans to come forward after that but prior to the pay-phone scene - I don't recally anything about that.

[FootBall]

MSNBC reporting Lookout for older Burgundy Chevy Caprice was put out Oct. 3rd after DC shooting of elderly black man.

Oct. 8th....Baltimore Policeman finds John Muhammed sleeping in car and lets him go after taking car make and tags.

Somebody dropped the bomb!

[rintense]

Laptop with a cell phone modem? Heh. I wish I had one of those.

[Chemist_Geek]

I got nailed by the beeper of death and had to come to work, and while I was cruisin' down the freeway, Rush Limbaugh was reporting that this Muhammed clown had attempted to register another car in Camden NJ on 911. He was told that he would need to establish proof of identity first because he did not have a NJ driver's license. This was at 8:52 am. At 9:00 am, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles received a bomb threat. Coinkydink? I kinda doubt it. (My apologies if this was posted already.)

FWIW, didn't Mohammed Atta threaten to blow up a Department of Agriculture office in Florida after he was rejected for a loan to buy a cropduster aircraft?

[Darlin']

Yep, sure is. Lotta strange stuff.
