Still thinking on ya', Lady MacB. I heard of this phony, also. All I could think was that perhaps the half million in reward money looked good, or fame, or maybe that "non witness" was mentally ill, too! I remember, in old, far less sensational crimes, that certain folks would show up annually claiming responsibility for whatever sensational murder had happened recently. Called them "confessing johnnies", I believe. Like clockwork. Maybe this phony witness was akin to those! Glad there have been no current snipings. It just keeps you waiting, though. Hate to say it, but it's true. I want to see the sniper(s) caught and brought to justice! Though it would be ok if the spree just "stopped", it wouldn't be very satisfying for all who have suffered to this point.

It's just sick, isn't it? It has me beat why someone would pretend like that. It is only wasting police time and rescources that could've been spent in far better ways.

This person is going to be charged?

Stay safe, LadyM and anyone else in the area.
