Anyone who thinks Moose was running the show is simply naive. Dollars to donuts the FBI was calling the shots, and Moose got to play mouthpiece.You have a good point there - the level of incomptence and cover-up is much too high for a local police force. And given the FBI's recent track record of supressing un-PC evidence, this particular profile seems to fit the perps.
From CNN's website, scroll down to the bottom:
Washington, D.C., police issued a lookout for a Chevrolet Caprice spotted driving away from the scene of a fatal sniper shooting on October 3 in northwest Washington, D.C., according to a copy of the document obtained by CNN. But the Metropolitan (D.C.) Police Department said it chose not to release the information to the press because the press releases were being coordinated through the joint task force headed by the Montgomery County Police Department in Rockville.

From memory, not a perfect quote:
Moose said when asked about the dark Caprice at a press conference on the 12th I think: "There's been more of a law enforcement focus on that, there hasn't been a big push for public feedback on it."
OK, fine...BUT THERE WAS NO LAW ENFORCEMENT FOCUS ON IT!
Question: Who was the mole on the task force sabotaging the investigation?
