Certainly shooting from 90 feet, as witnesses report happened in the last (Home Depot) shooting, is not much of a challenge. My theory of this being a game of marksmanship falls apart when the challenge gets easier and not harder. I'm starting to wonder if accounts of long-range shootings are even accurate. If most of the killings were indeed close range, then we're looking at a couple of deranged hunters. It would seem to imply that their "one shot" M.O. is just their twisted idea of giving their victims a "sporting chance." - Jeff

I keep meaning to bring this up... Authorities at the latest site found a piece of yellow legal paper, which they bagged as evidence. NEWSWEEK has learned that it contains scribbled driving directions from northern Maryland down toward the Washington Beltway. First off, we all know how suspect all this so-called evidence is turning out to be. Second, given the locations of the killings, I highly doubt the perpetrators live in northern Maryland. Even if they did, it makes no sense that they'd need help getting from north to south -- most likely using major roads -- yet they seem to intimately know the local routes at their destination. Lastly, it seems to me that most people that drive commercial vans with ladders on top don't write on yellow legal pads. So why is this considered "evidence" as opposed to garbage found at the scene? - Jeff
