Timeline:

1. In tape message, Williams said "You better take me seriously on this. If you don't believe me, check with the people in Montgomery."

2. Police finally got around to checking Montgomery, Ala, (instead of Montgomery County) where a liquor store was held up 10 days before the sniping began. A women employee was shot in the back with a .223 bullet. Police also found a fingerprint matching Malvo.

3. The fingerprint led LE to Malvo's stepfather, and to Tacoma.

Then Malvo's fingerprints would have to be on file prior to the shootings (DC area, Montgomery) for them to get a match.
