The reason I asked about the white van was because if they never actually used it in the shootings, then that was a detrimental lead. The police stopped ALL traffic on I95 north (that's, well, a hell of a lot of cars), and proceeded to pull over every single white panel van.

However, in some cases I'll give it to you. Looks like I'm enjoying the crow dinner on this one.

However, I would say that this was a result of the overexposure. I find if very surprising that someone just recognized the guy on the street somewhere. I mean, how many of us would recognize the people on those "Have you seen me lately?" cards that you get in the mail?

By the way, I wasn't aware that the snipers got life without parole recently. I'm not sure how I feel about it because I haven't decided where I stand on the death penalty, but it's good that they're not going to walk among us again. The story.
