Having Given the Cowards a 50-Yard Start

Strange... looks like the killer is either getting ready to start taunting the police verbally (or finally deliver his/their "message")... or someone is about to blab. Still trying to figure out how they managed to leave a phone number (if it was the killer) at the site of the shooting. Actually, that puts an interesting twist on this, that the killer possibly visited the site of the killing beforehand.

Montgomery County, Maryland, Police Chief Charles Moose revealed on Sunday that a message had been left at the scene of a shooting on Saturday near a restaurant in Ashland, Virginia and appealed to the person who left it to contact the police.

"To the person who left us a message at the Ponderosa (restaurant) last night, you gave us a telephone number. We do want to talk to you, call us at the number you provided," Moose, the head of the regional investigation, said in a televised appeal.

Moose urged the news media to carry the carefully worded statement "clearly, and carry it often." He declined to elaborate or take questions from reporters gathered for the unscheduled briefing.

The Washington Post reported on Monday that after Moose made his statement, a police spokeswoman said the chief meant what he said and that it should "make sense" to the person who left the message.
