The end of the DC Snipers’ reign of terror came October 24, 2002 - shortly after police publicly identified John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo as their prime suspects and gave a description of the car they were driving to carry out their terrifying and deadly crimes. It was a combination of good police work, the outreach from the killers themselves, and their life of crime preceding their killing spree that would eventually solve the case.

The third episode of our true crime podcast series takes a look back on that darkest of days in the DC region's recent history: October 3, 2002. The day it became painfully clear somebody was determined to spread fear and death by randomly killing people with rifle shots fired from an unseen distance.

Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh is considering asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the order from the state’s highest court that convicted Beltway sniper Lee Boyd Malvo must be resentenced for his six Montgomery County murders.

Lee Boyd Malvo is serving four life terms in Virginia for his role in the sniper shootings that gripped the D.C. area with fear in 2002. Maryland’s highest court on Friday ruled that he must be resentenced for his convictions in Montgomery County.

Lawyers for Beltway sniper Lee Boyd Malvo will argue before Maryland’s Court of Appeals for new sentences for six Montgomery County murders committed in 2002.
