Te: All Field Off. From: CID Re: 306-BA-102679, 10/10/2002 ATF Scientists have determined that bullet fragments from six crime scenes are the same caliber. A .223 shell casing, a blue ink pen, and a tarot card (Card of Death) were located at the Bowie, Maryland crime scene where a student was shot on. 10/07/2o02. Hand printed writing on the tarot card in blue ink read as follows: Front of card: "Call me God". Back of card: "For you Mr. police",. "code: (call me god)" and "Do not release to the press". There has been some speculation that this writing could reference.dialogue from a scene in a "Navy Seals" movie in which an embattled soldier calls to god for help and a sniper responds, "this is god", prior to assisting the soldier. Investigators have rented the referenced movie for review. In addition, at the Bowie crime scene, an ATF dog "hit" the site, where the shell casing was found. Then a blood hound "hit" on a log in the area, believed to have been used as an arm rest for sniper while firing his shot. The blood hound. then tracked the scent through nearby woods and a park to an empty parking lot, where a cigarette butt was found. Prince George's County will process the butt. On 10/08/2002, FBI's Ncavc behavioral science profilers provided an initial profile as follows: Unsub is believed to be using a truck to conceal himself in highly populated areas. Bowie was the first incident where evidence was found of unsub being on ground. This possibly marks a change in MO by Unsub due to publicity of the white truck. All other shots are believed to have been fired from a van/truck.. On 10/09/2002, at approximately 8:10 p.m., a 53-year old white male was shot in the base of the skull while at a Sunoco gas station near I-66 in Manassas, Virginia. This incident appears to be similar to the other sniper attacks. A witness reported seeing a white Dodge van speeding away at a high rate of speed out of a Shoney's Restaurant parking lot~on the same side of the street as the Sunoco station. A gunpowder detection dog has hit on a specific geographic area located in the midst~of several of the attack sites which occurred in Montgomery County. A search warrant was. executed in Montgomery County, Maryland on the morning of 10/10/2o02, on a residence which various tracking dogs have independently "hit on".. The residence is located in an area that is central to several sniper attack sites. On 10/08/2o02, a 24 hour joint Command Post (cp) was activated in Montgomery County with components from Montgomery County Police, Maryland State' Police (msp), Metropolitan Police Department (MpD), FBI, ATF, and Prince Georges County Police 2
