Interestingly, I heard yesterday that 40% of sniper shootings are never solved. Now two things suprised me about the statistic. One is I have never even heard of other sniper shootings (excepting Charles Whitman - The Texas Tower Sniper - and they damn sure caught him) much less that they would have enough cases to run statistics on. Two is that without continued shootings and a subsequent mistake by the shooter, it may never be solved. The irony of that second item should not be lost on anyone.

If anyone is interested, I can post some things that do not add up on the "sniper" and his choice of caliber and technique. I'll look for a link to an AP story of last week that has some similar information.
