Moose didn't bust this case; the FBI did.
Correct.
This brings up a very interesting fact I read in another article during the past two days.
The major break in the case came when that telephone call was made by the killers to, I believe, the priest. In order to establish that they were the actual bad guys instead of crank callers, the killers left the message to "check out the murder in Montgomery, Alabama".
The Feds go down to Alabama and, sure enough, there was a murder down there.
It turns out that the local Police in Montgomery, Alabama had a fingerprint of Malvo that they had recovered at the murder scene. However, the print was "unidentifiable".
Why was it "unidentifiable"?
Because Malvo's prints were locked away in the files of the Washington State juvenile justice system. According to the article, the local Police in Alabama did not have access to the Washington State juvenile justice system fingerprints. However, the Feds did.
The Political Correctness of hiding Malvo's "juvenile" fingerprints from Police agencies outside of the State of Washington, prevented the Alabama Police from cracking the the Montgomery, Alabama murder cae. That, in turn, allowed the killers to continue their murder spree in the Maryland/Virginia area.
Without the Feds, the local Maryland Police, the local Virginia Police and the Alabama Police would probably have no idea who the killers were to this day.
The local Police in Alabama, Maryland and Virginia would have the actual fingerprints of one of the killers but, without the Feds, have no way to identify them. As a result, people would still be dying in Maryland and Virginia because the "privacy rights" of a "juvenile" crimminal had to be protected in Washington State.

As it is, the graphic Moose had of the "white van" was wrong. Moose didn't bust this case; the FBI did.
SHHHHHHHHHHHH! We don't want ole Moose to feel bad, now do we? It's racist to criticize those of another skin hue that is except if you are Causasian. If Caucasian, then fire away. Moose needs to feel good and we need to be concerned about his self esteem.
