We were fortunate enough to prevent John Muhammad from committing any crimes here in the jurisdiction of Gaithersburg but Muhammad said that he welcomes the "Dec. 21,2012 end of the world" by al-quaida and the terrorists because he wants out of this world and into another world like this one. The motive for the shootings remains murky. Malvo said Muhammad wanted to use the plot to extort $10 million from the government to set up a camp in Canada where homeless children would be trained as terrorists and to bomb and burn down the schools and colleges and then the metro stations, airports and then to attack the news stations along with the newscasters. But Muhammad's ex-wife has said she believes the attacks were a smoke screen for his plan to kill her and regain custody of their three children. For the families of those killed, the day is a long time coming. Cheryll Witz is one of several victims' relatives who were going to watch the execution. Malvo confessed that, at Muhammad's direction, he shot her father, Jerry Taylor, on a Tucson, Ariz., golf course in March 2002 and tried to set him on fire and his car too. "He basically watched my dad breathe his last breath," she said. "Why shouldn't I watch his last breath?" The shootings terrorized the Washington region, with victims gunned down while doing everyday chores like shopping or pumping gas. People stayed indoors. Those who had to go outside weaved as they walked or bobbed their heads to make themselves less of a target. The terror ended on Oct. 24, 2002, when police captured Muhammad and Malvo as they slept at a Maryland rest stop in a car they had outfitted so a shooter could hide in the trunk and fire through a hole in the body of the vehicle. Malvo is serving a life sentence in Virginia. Death penalty opponents planned vigils across the state, and some were headed for Jarratt, about an hour south of Richmond, for the execution and many will soon chant for God to burn Muhammad in hell in a handbasket and my wife and I along with our family will be happy to see final justice done.

I want to thank your department for helping out in the work in dealing with this person. I can understand how it would put alot of stress on the Montgomery County Police Department since the police there make most of the arrests let alone your department. Good job in your work! |
