Margarita25, I can't get over the enormous help that Forager's mapping has provided in this case..
I find it interesting that todays shattered window incident appears to be virtually right on top of the 04/21/2015 jail van shattered window incident.. If the incident were related to the CO serial shooter investigation. I have to wonder what the intended message would be..
Weld sheriff technicians find no bullet after car window shattered on I-25
http://www.reporterherald.com/news/...33|met:0000300|cat:0|order:2&/?source=dailyme
"Weld County Sheriff investigators combed through a vehicle with a shattered window on Interstate 25 Sunday and found no bullet."

"During April, the sheriff's office received reports of 22 broken windshields, about 13 of those along I-25, sheriff's spokesman Sean Standridge said."

After researching and doing some deep thinking throughout the night, til the crack of dawn. I think I may have a very good idea of what the intended message by the perp<singular> would be..
Is it any surprise that Weld County Sheriff technicians found no bullet/projectile after the car window shattered on I-25 yesterday?
Does it seem to be coincidental that the jail van incident immediately preceded the shooting of CR, or the shattering of the window incident of the LEA narcotics vehicle? Or is there an obvious pattern emerging? Why does it seem that the perp is always one step ahead of task force investigators?
Imo, ATF AD Bouchard, revealed some very significant details of what investigators are likely up against in the CO Shooter Task Force investigation.
Bouchard explained the difficulties in these investigations, when each incident happens at a different time of day, with a different type of victim, in a unique location.
Brouchard said, "If you can link the bullets from the victims, the projectiles, and if they're coming from the same gun, that makes it easier to link them," Bouchard said. He added that if the shooter changes his method or firearm, the investigation grows more difficult.
Imo, the perp is utilizing frangible ammunition and multiple firearms to confuse investigators. Frangible ammunition is being used by many, if not most, State, Local, and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies.. from my info, including the Denver PD.. Some brands of frangible ammunition lead to a type of fouling of the rifle barrel called tinning. Tinning does not allow the bullet to contact the barrel and lead to no defined land or grooved engraved areas on recovered test fires of copper jacketed bullets.
ATF AD Bouchard, also said that people tend to talk about what they have done. This is called leakage; a term coined by retired FBI BAU/BSU Roger L. Depue. Leakage basically means that a person will consciously or subconsciously unintentionally leak information to others. Imo, in other words, 'Blame the brain, it simply doesn't like to tell lies'.
Imo, the CO Serial Shooter will likely be an experienced, recently fired<March/April/2015>, disgruntled veteran LEO, familiar with, but not residing in the immediate geographical area of the shooting incidents. Imo, this is likely the motive for the extreme silence and refusal to share info with the public by investigators in the CO Serial Shooter/likely serial killer investigation..

"People tend to talk about what they've done," Bouchard said. "If people hear about it, that's how you solve these kinds of cases."
Police also won't say if there's a definitive pattern, or what evidence could connect all three.
Former ATF Assistant Director Mike Bouchard has led investigations of serial shooters. In a phone interview,
Bouchard explained the difficulties in these investigations, when each incident happens at a different time of day, with a different type of victim, in a unique location.
"If you can link the bullets from the victims, the projectiles, and they're coming from the same gun, that makes it easier to link them," Bouchard said. He added that if the shooter changes his method or firearm, the investigation grows more difficult.
Bouchard said the public's help is critical when one of the only constants is unpredictability itself.
