S.T.A.T.E team commander recalls the night the Snipers were captured in Myersville Maryland

What a lot of people didn't realize was that at the time of their capture, Malvo was the true dominant personality. Muhammad was lying on the ground cuffed behind his back, complacent and submissive. I immediately saw Malvo's eyes and knew he was looking for any opportunity to run......... I told one of the K-9 handlers that I wanted that patrol dog sitting right next to Malvo and drooling on his neck. We placed the dog right over top of Malvo and it was the only time he stopped looking for an avenue of escape. I was so concerned about Malvo especially, that I had them him and Muhammad placed separately in two different MSP units with an investigator, a STATE team member and one of the suspects in each vehicle. We assigned a K-9 unit behind each one of the MSP units along with a tailing STATE vehicle. Forget the "he was just a kid" rhetoric, he knew what he was doing,.....and loved doing it.

Local Residents Recall living in fear during the Beltway Snipers rampage.

Katherine White I can't believe they are going to waste time and money on a new sentencing hearing for Lee Boyd Malvo. His crime was heinous. He was tried fairly as an adult and was given a life sentence because he was young. Otherwise he would have been executed as his cohort. He deserves no more "special" consideration for his age. His sentence should remain the same.

I have lived in Aspen Hill since 1970 and except for the several year era of the Aspen Hill Rapist, the 3 week reign of terror that Malvo and his step father incurred on the Aspen Hill/Silver Spring/Rockville area was horrific. People were terrified to buy gas. They would hide behind their car doors or in their cars like that was going to make a difference. Life sentence was not fair to all the innocent people they murdered or shot throughout the Washington/Virginia vicinity.

David Reichenbaugh's new book In Pursuit, The Hunt for the Beltway Snipers will be coming to a book store near you on October 2nd 2018.  Reichenbaugh takes the reader thru the nuts and bolts of the beltway sniper case form the initial killing to the high pressure take down of the two blood thirsty killers in a rest area off I-70 in Myersville Maryland.

Retired Hagerstown Police Officer recalls fearing for his family's safety during the Beltway Sniper's killing spree while he was away from home serving overseas.

  I remember that situation SO well!  I had only been in Kosovo just under a month when it was going on.  As I learned more and more from the news I called home 1 night and told my wife to STAY out of the shopping centers EVERYWHERE! "This nit-wit is using the Interstates and he could be ANYWHERE!"  Of course most people thought that there was only one - who would've dreamt that there were TWO?  Scared the crap out of me as I'm sure it did many others!  I think it was determined later that they were 'in the area' and they had a drawing of (I believe!) Bobs' Big Boy out at Valley Mall.  My daughter's boy friend at the time used a white van for his work w/no logo or signs on the side.  He got stopped several times before the Police learned they were in a different vehicle!  He was upset the first time but after a while he kind of laughed about it.  I ran in to my nephew and he traveled in that area a good bit.  He told me that he was about half afraid if he stopped for gas so he'd put the pump in and start walking around the car trying NOT to stand still!  Funny but not really, you know? The 'Sniper' news was all over the news that I saw.  I knew the area that he was doing his work and I guessed that he HAD to be using the Interstate System to move around.  YUP - really made me think as the wife told me that they were going to this mall or that mall to get a 'jump' on Christmas shopping in an email.  I answered her email but headed for a telephone to tell her in person! ~Ernie Stoner, Hagerstown Police Retired
