Rita Cosby interviewed Montgomery, AL Mayor Bobby Bright and Police Chief John Wilson. Wilson told Cosby he was very concerned because both Muhammed and Malvo were on foot, being chased by police officers. The chase was interrupted by a large blue car that Muhammed ran into, putting both hands on the hood to prevent him coliding with it. After this moment, both men being chase escaped. Later--still in September, Montgomery police put out a public call for the driver of the blue car to come forward; fingerprints on the car could be used to break the case. However, and a little surprisingly, no one came forward.
Now Chief Wilson is concerned about the car. It was going through a fast food drive thru when the foot chase began. Wilson explained that BOTH Mohammed and Malvo were, at that moment, being persued on foot. Then the blue car came directly at Muhammed, nearly hitting him. Shortly after, the foot chase ends with the escape of Muhammed and Malvo. Wilson is concerned the car is in fact the blue 1990 cheverolet that Muhhamed and Malvo were using in Washington. He then stated he is concerned that if this is the case, then who was driving this car on September 21st, while Muhammed and Malvo were being chased on foot by Montgomery, Alabama policemen?
Are you too lazy to do a quick search?
Perhaps you should get the chip off your shoulder and admit you corrected my post by referencing me to another post WITHOUT verifying the facts. If you had bothered to enter "muhammad caprice registration" into your search engine, you would have been able to verify in less than a minute. Or do you expect everyone else to do your work for you?
1) You are the one who seems to be carrying a big chip.
2) I asked a question, based on a prior post.
3) I really don't understand why you are making such a big deal about this.
Tell you what: You win, I'm terribly, completely and sincerely sorry that I have caused this distress in your life. Feel better? Good. and G'nite.
I am not. It is you that seems so upset by all of this. Without verifying the facts, you challenged my post. Sure my post was impersonal but with reason. Now "take your ball and go home" as your last sentence whines.
Police seek ABC store slaying accomplice By Bob Johnson Associated Press Police are trying to determine if the two Washington D.C.-area sniper suspects charged in a Sept. 21 shooting death at a state-run liquor store on Zelda Road had help from a third person, possibly driving a getaway car. Police Sgt. Scott Martino said Monday that investigators are examining the possibility that a blue car that got in the way as a police officer chased suspect John Allen Muhammad may have been driven by an accomplice of Muhammad and John Lee Malvo. "We originally thought it might have just been someone that was in the wrong place at the wrong time," Martino said. Mayor Bobby Bright said investigators began considering the blue car "in a different light" when they heard Nathaniel O. Osbourne had been arrested as a material witness in the sniper case. "The investigation is still ongoing," Bright said Monday. "We haven't developed a third suspect yet, but we're certainly looking into it in light of what transpired last weekend with Osbourne being arrested in Flint, Mich." Bright briefed the City Council about the background of the case and the state of the investigation at a special called work session Monday morning. Muhammad, 41, and Malvo, 17, were charged Friday in Montgomery County District Court with capital murder in the shooting, in which Claudine Parker, 52, was fatally wounded and Kellie Adams, 24, was seriously injured as they were closing the Alcoholic Beverage Control store at 2690 Zelda Road. Police said they found a fingerprint, later identified by the FBI as Malvo's, on a weapons publication dropped near a parking lot across Zelda from the ABC store. Officer Dwight Johnson identified Muhammad from a photo lineup as the gunman he almost chased down. During the pursuit, a blue car pulled in front of the running men, and Johnson's quarry placed his hands on it to halt his momentum. Police, hoping that they could recover fingerprints from the vehicle's chassis, put out a call for the driver of the car to come forward, but received no response. Martino said Montgomery police now are working with the sniper task force on the East Coast to make sure Osbourne also is questioned about whether he has any knowledge concerning the Montgomery shooting. Osbourne was co-owner of the 1990 Chevrolet Caprice in which Muhammad and Malvo were arrested Thursday at a rest stop near Frederick, Md.
