I’ll never forget hearing about this the 1st time as I drove to a luncheon for my project group for a job well done in September. As a result we talked of it a bit at the restaurant.
On the radio then I heard them talking about a white Isuzu SUV! A little later it was a “white panel truck”. Then it got more general than that - some white van or truck.
The car, incidentally, was 1 of the last good Caprices. It was blue and just like a witness at the evening DC shooting said (ignored, apparently).
I wouold have loved the irony of a firing squad.
