Sniper Suspect May Have Been Exposed to Chemicals Linked to Gulf War Syndrome
The alleged Washington sniper, John Allen Muhammad, may have been exposed to chemical weapons that have been linked to Gulf War Syndrome, an illness which experts said can result in unexplained bouts of intense violence. Muhammad, arrested early Thursday as a prime suspect in the Washington area shootings, served with the Army's 84th Engineer Company during the Persian Gulf War, military officers said.

Musings on the Moose
Chief Moose Fan Club
Why the popularity of 'The Moose'? I sit here, literally half-a-world away, musing on why Chief Charles Moose of the Montgomery County Police Force caused me to start this site ( with a little help from my friends of course ). Is it his understated charisma, his steely resolve or his way with words (duck in a noose anyone ?). For me it's all of these things.
BTW www.duckinanoose.com is taken

Feed your desire for serial killer knowledge
Any historical survey of serial murder would have to begin at least as far back as ancient Rome, when the Emperor Caligula was busily indulging his taste for torture and perversion. During the Middle Ages, depraved Aristocrats like Gilles de Rais (the original "Bluebeard") and Elizabeth Bathory (the "Blood Countess") fed their unholy lusts on the blood of hundreds of victims, while psychopathic peasants like Gilles Ganier and Peter Stubbe butchered their victims with such bestial ferocity that they were believed to be literal werewolves.

Just 16 Men
More than 1,000 law enforcement officials were involved in the serial sniper case, but as Moose issued the list he spoke — apparently from the heart — of the cooperation within the leadership team of 16.

Snipermobile was pulled over by cops on Oct. 2 and Oct. 3
On 2 October, officers from Montgomery County - the force leading the massive manhunt - stopped the car as it was driven by Muhammad, 42, but let it go without searching it. The next day - when four people were killed by the sniper in Montgomery County and one in Washington DC at night - police in the capital again stopped the car but did not have enough cause to arrest Muhammad or search the vehicle.
