It was a story that terrorized Greater Washington, D.C. Someone was randomly picking people off with a high-powered rifle. Now that teenage serial killer Lee Boyd Malvo gave his first prison interview last week, we look back on the Beltway Sniper case. TruTV has the story.

No angry grandma I agree with you, Malvo IS where he should be. But I do believe had he never met Muhammed he would have not taken the path he did. That said he DID take that path and should be punished accordingly. It was really sad I had several friends working on boats in DC at the time, it was weeks of terror. But the third person should be investigated and punished.
I'm sorry but i think both should fry! I know that sounds mean and spiteful. But good people out doing everyday chores like putting gas in their cars were shoot down like they were animals and this was dear season. this kid (because he was a kid!) may have been brainwashed, but He should have turned the gun on the asshole he choose to call Dad. or when the scum was in the tunk of the car, he should have backed the car up at a high rate of speed into a brick wall. then maybe those people would be alive today enjoying their family and their lives. and this kid wouldn't be in prison for murder or terrorism. And i wont get on Brainwashing. Seen to many reports of this in regards to cults. All i saw on this one (as far as brainwashing) was Allah and killing people. the whole thing just makes me sick. AWWWWWWWWW Assholes!!!! I can't make up any further words as i'm just angry. I see no remorse in either of these freakos. Lord, i hope they get the 3rd fool. he needs to be right next to them. Even if he didn't actually shot anyone in DC. AWWWWWWWWWWWW
@angry grandma Yep supposingly there was a third person In Arizona that was on board the whole time (through contact) until the end, and he has never been found. Malvo claims as many as 40 all toghter. One in another state cannot remember which Malvo actually told the family who had done it because it was unsolved. Malvo did not know the names of other victims so he could not bring closure. I think Malvo is where he should be. BUT I do believe with him the brain washing occured early on and so he was in his own right a victim as well. He did this to please a man he called DAD. Early on before DC he actually callesd the police. But Muhammed (sp?) Kept his claws in Malvo for a long time.
Yeah i started watching it too. But Some of the stuff i heard before i turned it off, made me sick to my stomack. How could this young man actually believe the crap the other guy told him? Notice, the older guy hasn't (and won't) do an interview? I read somewhere that he won't ever do an interview that way they can't try him for other crimes. I also read that there was a 3rd person? Maybe i missed that part of the interview so i'm not sure about that. I remember when this was going on. I was driving to SC and back when a few of the shootings were going on. I guess i just wasn't a target as 1 woman was killed at a gas station i had went to a day or so before they shot her. That was a really scary trip for me. How many other killings were actually done prior to Washington? I didn't hear that.
I watched a piece on MAlvo the other night. Hosted by of all people William Shatner. But I hadn't realized there were alot more killed before the DC shootings even occured.
