I really don't want to believe Moose knew and didn't tell the public. Call me naive, but I prefer to believe he suspected but had no real proof. There were press conferences when Moose reminded everyone not to have tunnel vision about who the suspect(s) might be and what they might be driving even though they had the report of the white box truck. Moose said one problem with profiling is people will stop looking at other possibilities and in the end, the profile can be dead wrong.

You asked for it: Naive!

He had no real proof that the sniper was white or Hispanic, yet he allowed speculation that serial killers are usually white, so it was probably a white guy. He allowed word to go out about them looking for a hispanic-looking guy. It was only when the data pointed to the possibility that it was a Five-Percent-Nation-of-Islam member that "suspicion-but-not-proof" became a criterion for not saying anything.
