Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

This links the credit card, and all but links AQ to this entire mess. Now, how does this connect to Saddam? (Damn right, I'm reaching...)

Brian Wilson is talking about the Credit Card

On Sept 21 there was a robbery in Alabama where a person was killed and the CC belonged to the person that was killed

Yeah... I know Darlin'.

The whole "duck in a noose" thing sounds to me like marching orders.

If there is martial law, are elections still held?

It would depend on the reason for the martial law, I guess. I would think that is a highly unlikely prospect at this time. It's not something I'd waste any time worrying about right now.

PER FOX:

Credit card is playing a significant part in investigation and may have been used in Tacoma Park.

Native American folk tale. Rabbit throws a noose on a duck. Duck flies up. Rabbit gets tired and lets go. Rabbit falls in stump. Stuck. Get's hungry. Eat's own fur. Last line "To this day, when Rabbit is hungry, he eats his own fur."

This makes my tin foil spark. And I'm usually a Saran Wrap girl.

I think we all are in agreement about that, but for what?

I don't see how it can be anything good. If you were the shooter, why would you demand that Moose say this?

Brian Wilson reporting that there was a shooting in Alabama in a liquor store on Sept. 22, a credit card was stolen off the dead individual and is now involved with this serial shooting.

Credit card was recently used in Tacoma Park in the D.C. area.

Perhaps they want this guy on a firearms charge....he may know who they're looking for.

I"m sure he does know. I'll bet he's the trigger man on the liquor store robbery.

You know....stolen credit cards are often sold for quick use. Now these two may have killed the women, but I wonder if they sold the card.

Amazingly enough -- this folklore that was found does make sense. Don't leave out "We have caught the sniper, like.." just like the rabbit caught the duck with the noose.

Why would they ask Moose to say "We caught the sniper like a duck in a noose" if they hadn't?

Probably another threat. Give him the money, tell America that LE has caught the perp, while he gets away clean with the money.
