Charles Moose, who led DC Sniper investigation dies at 68..


The former chief of the Montgomery County, Maryland, police department, who became the public face of the investigation into the Beltway Sniper rampage that terrorized the D.C. region nearly two decades ago, has died.

Charles Moose, who left his post in 2003, was 68, according to a statement from the Montgomery County Police Department.

Moose’s wife posted a message on Facebook, saying he died at home on Thanksgiving Day.

“We are extremely saddened by the news announcing the passing of former Chief Charles Moose,” said Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones. “He was a great leader and led our department through the D.C. Sniper investigation, one of the most difficult crime sprees in our country’s history. We send condolences to his wife Sandy and all of his family and friends.”

Then knew it wasn't but decided to put out disinformation so the sniper wouldn't know they knew. There are tens of thousands of white vans around, it terrorized everyone.
