Sniper Search near Seattle (digging for evidence)

Local NBC News Channel | Oct 23, 02 | MSNBC

[spycatcher]

MSNBC reporting sniper related digging and searching of a building in Tacoma WA. FBI is involved. May be related to something the sniper told police

[Arkinsaw]

Whatever they are putting in that truck is bulky and heavy. Three guys were able to scoot it out of the loader bucket into the truck. Covered in plastic.

[William McKinley]

Search was/is consentual. They are taking out some things wrapped in tarps.

They are referring to this is a "raid" though- a consentual raid?

[md2576]

I agree!

[kcvl]

The sniper gave LE credit card information and the card had been stolen.

[WestCoastGal]

They said no bodies but what the heck are they laying out those lines for?? Maybe they are looking for buried weapons. And, maybe we were right about the international terror angle.

[Arkinsaw]

They are treating it a little too casual for that I'm thinking.

[antivenom]

This is getting weird-er by the minute! YIKES!!!

[agrandis]

Wild speculation: This sniper is a desperate and out-of-it member of a terrorist group who picked a bizarre way of ratting on plans for devastation by the group.

Here I go again - I had just said earlier today that I was back to being convinced it WASN'T terrorism.

Who knows. I just hope they get the people who've done this.

[antivenom]

THe "previous" owner of the stolen credit card????????

[not-an-ostrich]

What is the info on a credit card?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Again, I'm asking a favor.....PLEASE ping me to anything important. I'm leaving in 1/2 an hour and won't be back for hours.

THANK YOU.

"What stolen credit card?"

The sniper said that he wanted the $$$$ transferred to a credit card account that turned out to have been stolen

[RobRoy]

Yeah, you're right.

[ErnBatavia]

[Kerberos]

Fox is also saying search warrant.

MSNBC is saying consensual search.

Go figure

[Arkinsaw]

More bulky items loaded into truck. Wrapped in silver-foil like plastic. Sort of looks like duct tape.

post 77 and a link

[floriduh voter]

No problem. Did for a living awhile ago. I add editorial comment too though, like WHOA. CNN is being very skeptical but they have the best view of the excavation site. Probable cause at this point. Can you imagine if they are doing search warrants all over the country? I hope the bad guys don't know it. Maybe they're already picked up, that would be the expedient thing to do.

MSNBC: Now, they are in the grass and have an up close view of the metal detectors.

They have closeup of the lawn that they are going to dig up. There's a tree trunk on msnbc. Lester Holt is talking.

I can't help it but I have the chills. Is that silly?

Im in Seattle I just saw Investigaters posing with the object (taking pics) of whatever they found.....
