I'll bet they're watching those locations, though, whether we see them or not...

Re: Michaels

Below is a link to an entire article about a possible Michael's connection. Here is one interesting part:

The sniper's Oct. 3 slaying of a cabdriver at an Aspen Hill gas station occurred about three-quarters of a mile from the Michaels in the 13800 block of Georgia Avenue. Even closer is a Radio Shack, at the same intersection where the cabbie died.

Another attack that day, near the Fitzgerald Auto Mall in White Flint, took place less than two miles from a Michaels on Rockville Pike -- but less than a half mile from a Radio Shack in White Flint. And last Wednesday night's sniper shooting at a gas station near Manassas, which occurred a little more than a mile from a Michaels, was also close to a Radio Shack, which was just over two miles away.

If we try hard enough, we could make all sorts of theories fit the killings. The question is not what is possible, but what is probable-- based on the evidence. I think it more likely the killers like the proximity of a Michaels to an interstate or familiar road, rather than have sought out the store itself.

Can you give us details? How close is the Michael's correlation? Is there any possibility it's coincidence, based on the killer liking large parking lots near freeways, and that being the kind of location Micheal's has.

Where did you find the map of locations? I didn't see it on their corporate website.
