Shooting out windows appears to be a self camouflaging crime. Mohammed Whitaker, in Kansas City, was taking shots at people with a .38 without them or the police really understanding what was happening. In SugarQueen's article above about the Utah shooting, one guy comments that he reported to...

If it had been posted, I missed it. Good to see you posting! It looks like the Windsor Chief of Police is making an effort to get out there and talk with the citizenry, even if he isn't allowed to say anything about the details of the case.

Thanks for that Coloradoan post, FindHG. "Investigators with the evidence recovery team responded about 8:30 a.m. to the 6800 block of Larimer County Road 9 in Loveland to follow up on previous tips, said David Moore, task force spokesman. "To maintain the integrity of the investigation...

Thanks for that SugarQueen. We do have those points on the map, but I'd never seen them from that source: a public notice posted on the Jefferson County Sheriffs website. Their Public Information Office turns out a readable, informative product.

I'm shutting the map down for a bit to do some work on it, and hope to open it back up in a bit. If any one would like to access it in the mean time, please let me know and I'll get you a screen shot or, if you can share an e-mail address, sign you up for direct access to it.

I've come across yet another window shattering spree that was news to me. This one was in MARSHALL, Mo. 60 odd miles east of Kansas City in April of this year. A 21 and a 23 year old shattered about 40 windows over the course of an overnight spree on 4/9/15-4/10/15 and were caught right away...

I've removed the suggested search areas, as Trackergd suggested. Thanks for the heads up. I can put them into a map with more limited distribution if needed.

It's like deja view ahead of time! Fascinating. I must have joined the thread too late for that. That case so parallels ours. I was surprised to learn that you could blast a .38 round at another car and leave people scratching their heads about what happened. "They said they heard what...

Not off topic. Worth considering. It involved a gun, was out on a street, and was close to a police station. It happened a bit further south than any of this year's window shatterings, and far from he earlier killings, but not far from the 6/16/15 shattering, also in Westminster. The 6/26/15...

I have no expertise, but would guess that this kind of crawling 'drone' could probably make the kind of shots needed to shatter windows on highways. So a possibility, but only at really long odds. A lot of expertise, work and risk would be involved. The shooter would have to drive the bot to...

I've now put Thos. Jefferson on the Health Care layer. I'm still adding markers for that layer and am far from done.

Thanks for joining, Shandram19! You were great on the Ben & Cody thread! I'll try to add a layer for health care facilities in the case area.

. I was able to find a few indications of where she had lived in years past from that from that Docket Sheet: In New Tripoli sometime in 2009, Emmanus in Nov. '07, May '11 and again in June 2013. A collection action aside, I didn't see anything there beyond alcohol and/or driving...

BYO, I was so pleased to see that you had added to the map! Direct sharing like that has a lot of advantages and I'd like to see more of it. Forager

Logging in. Catching up. My next step on the map, I figured, would be to try to see what I could map the information that you relayed from Jamie's friends, and to work on the NamUs missing women layer to include reports back to 2005 and bring the NamUs photos into it.

The video that Foxfire attached included the first photo I'd seen of what a Sinterfire brand frangible bullet looks like after it hits a hard target and crumbles into a combination of copper dust, tiny clumps of copper dust aggregate. The little disk shaped base of the bullet isn't in the...

NOT off topic, I think. David Grossman, a retired US Army Lt. Col., wrote a book named On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society. In it, he points out that Army research indicates that killing doesn't come easily to most people. It realized back in the Civil...

I'd missed that image. It confirms the location description I had been going on exactly. But that location is a quarter of a mile from "Denver Ave and East Eisenhower Boulevard" where we had understood the shooter had fired at the anonymous intended victim on 6/3/15. Could they be looking...

I was about to send a message asking what the devil you were talking about, when the penny dropped. Very funny!

I think you're right to try to be looking at where the shootings lay relative to entrances and exits to help understand his MO, but take the map with a grain of salt as you do it. I've been careful about the marker placements, but they rely on my interpretation of words passed from victim, to...
