- As many of you here know, I called this one five days ago on September 28th.
- early1990s -Islam connection, and Desert Storm
- April 1995- Sniper compared to OKC bomber John Doe #2
- Sniper motivated by Nation of Islam - Louis Farrakahn
Here is my 2002 timeline again, with modifications and updates...
In June 2002, Muhammad was heard to say he hated police and planned to shoot a police officer, then bomb the funeral of the dead officer to kill more police.
Muhammad also wanted to shoot and blow up a gas tanker. (is this gas tanker explosion related?)- FORT WORTH, Texas, 12:41 p.m. CDT June 26, 2002 - A tanker truck reportedly carrying 9,000 gallons of gasoline exploded and burned just south of DFW Airport this morning right near a daycare.....
I have other Muhammad timelines at this link as well. Mainly
By September his plans changed to (mostly random?) sniper killings.
- THREE or more terrorists cooked up the plan to buy a used POLICE CAR and turn it into a killing machine.
- September 11 - Three of them buy the car and register it in New Jersey. The date, and the fact that it was a police car are both important to them.
Muhammad and Osbourne co-registered the car while another calls in a bomb threat at the DMV. - September 14 - The shooters try out their sniper car for the first time outside a Silver Spring, Maryland liquor store on a SATURDAY night. The victim survives, and the bullet is too fragmented to match with later shootings. No more sniper shootings occur there for two and a half weeks because the terrorists are out of town.
- September 14- Thinking they've killed someone at the liquor store, terrorists leave immediately for planned training at "Ground Zero" camp in Marion, Alabama (one hour from Montgomery). The terrorist training manuals teach shooters to lay down and fire backwards out of a vehicle (like a flatbed truck). with another person driving away slowly. This later turns out to be exactly the technique used around D.C.
- September 21, about 7:30pm(closing time) - While in Alabama, Muhammad and Malvo rob and kill at a Montgomery liquor store. Again, this is a Saturday night. One woman is shot in the back of the head but it glanced off and exited her chin and she is alive. She can ID Malvo. The manager was shot in the back and killed. A third terrorist assists their escape using the blue Chevrolet Caprice. The .223 Bushmaster rifle is positively ID'ed here.
- September 23 at 6:35 p.m., Baton Rouge LA: Hong Im Ballenger, 45, was shot once in the head after she closed her beauty shop and was getting into her car; She died instantly.
The bullet has been positively ID'ed to the .223 Bushmaster rifle. Seen running from her car was a black man 130- to 140-pounds who stands about 5 feet 2 inches tall. (Malvo is 5'6") The man was picked up by a dark blue Chevrolet that had earlier been parked across the street from the shooting. Killers got $1000 from her purse that she was going to deposit in the bank. - September 26 - Another shooting murder occurred in Baton Rouge. Freepers here said it was ID's as Muhammad/Malvo's rifle, but the details of that murder disappeared from the MSNBC report. Maybe it was premature or a mistaken report.
- September 28, 2:58pm - Gulfport Mississippi Police report seeing their parked, empty, blue Chevrolet Caprice with New Jersey plates NDA-21Z as they investigate an unrelated crime. The police find the vehicle is not wanted.
- September 29 - [probably unrelated?] 25-year-old Baton Rouge man Christopher Hamlin, was gunned down in an early morning shooting (4:30am) at a gas station. Detectives say Hamlin was putting oil in his car when another car with four men inside pulled up next to him. Officers say that's when one man got out of the car and shot Hamlin several times with a rifle. Apparently, there were approximately 19 bullet casings found on the ground. [No word yet on ballistics - this should be easy to link to M & M if it is true]
- October 1, 1:30am - Fairfax County (VA?) police see the blue Caprice and run their plates. No action taken.
- October 1 - Terrorists return to Silver Spring, Maryland, pumped up to kill more. They get rested at a safe-house, possibly at the Mohammed residence (apartment #5) at 3974 Bel Pre Road, [this is the same address as the last shooting]. Nation of Islam converts often change their last names to Mohammad, and the shooters know them to be sympathetic or co-conspirators themselves.
- October 2 - Terrorists spend the day planning their hits, and by 5pm start their shooting spree one block from the apartment, at the Michaels store. [Police should check if the store clerk almost killed had ever met John Mohammad, Lee Malvo, or anyone living at the Bel Pre apartments]
- Another shooting will later occur TWO blocks from the apartment, at a gas station.
- ...many more shootings occur, which I can't do justice to them here...
- Police are convinced the shooters must live nearby, since so many shooting occur in close proximity and shooters know the area very well.
- October 23 - The last fatal shooting will occur directly outside the apartment on Bel Pre road. Mohammad, who frequently rides busses in that area, probably knew, and has been angered in the past by the driver or one of his co-workers.
The 35-year-old Jamaican-born bus driver was Conrad Johnson.
-
October 21 - Nathaniel O. Osbourne, a 26-year-old Jamaican illegal alien, and the killing car's co-owner, is said to have arrived today in Flint Michigan from Camden NJ.
One woman who interviewed Osbourne for a sales position on Oct 23 said he appeared wierd: He slouched in his chair, was barely audible when he spoke, and left during the interview to use the bathroom.
According to his application, he did not graduate from high school or attend college. He listed his hobbies as "musician and soccer player." He said he has sales experience, and experience directing groups of people "during musical sessions."
He was arrested as a material witness on Oct 26th. Freepers here all shout CHECK OUT DETROIT! which has a huge muslim population.
It turns out there IS a Johnnie Muhammad who lives or lived in Detroit. A database firm says that person is:- John A Muhammad,
Age 41,
Detroit Michigan.
Now I know many of you will speculate on a Lansing murder, so here is my research on that one...
- June 23 2001 - A suspicious sniper shooting occurred in Lansing Michigan last year. A black woman, Bernita White, age 41, is shot thru the heart by a high-powered rifle from a wooded area 100 yards away. The bullet is never found.
Bernita, who is a member of a baptist church, filed for divorce a month earlier, and then probably spent a great deal of time with her mother who lived in Detroit. You can draw your own conclusions, but we don't know yet that Muhammad was in Detroit or Michigan in June 2001.
I am still working on another Muhammad timeline:
Dec 1999 to June 2002, but so far June 2001 is a mystery.
