lets face facts the police are only capable of holding radar guns and giving parking tickets--they probably already have the lead to find this guy but wouldn't know it if it hit them in the head i mean the freaking murderer tries to call in and there incapable of taking the call--and then when they do take the call they are clueless and hang up on the guy--there a freaking joke-and the moose is a freaking loose cannon--if that guy is more than just a spokesman were in really serious trouble crime is running rampant and they sit on the side of the road either with a radar detector or a doughnut

I still maintain the best clue we've had thus far is the Tarot card. Tarot cards not only are relatively rare, but when you find stores that sell them you find they sell a wide variety of decorations. Simply match up the Death card to its proper set, find out who in the area or on the net sells such a set, and who from the metro DC area recently purchased one. I'm guessing here this guy didn't just have a Tarot set lying around his house. If he did, it would imply he was into that stuff and therefore likely would have either a) not waited until shooting #9 to use it, b) used other Tarot cards for other killings, or c) used a Death card from yet another deck for another killing. Of course it also should be logical to assume the police have done all the above and come up empty-handed. That's why I wish they'd tell us these things. I mean, it's not like the killer is going to be able to use that information to his advantage. He obviously knows that if the police did ID him by tracking down the card they'd obviously have arrested him by now. - Jeff

Yes, it is getting on everyone's nerves, especially now that the sniper has returned to this area. I still see people walking dogs in residential neighborhoods, but people spend as little time out in commercial areas as possible. I took my wife to the Grosvenor- Strathmore Metro station after the last shooting, and it was practically deserted. Hard to tell if it were the traffic (her Ride- On bus had not shown up) or fear, but I know it was hard for me to see her get out of the car. The dreadful irony is that I moved from Annapolis to Bethesda this summer, just in time for all of this......
