Lee Boyd Malvo says there were more involved in the shooting plot

DC sniper Lee Boyd Malvo will be once again questioned after the serial killer declared in a TV interview with actor William Shatner that there were two other men involved in the blood bath that terrorized the Washington area killing 10 people back in 2002.

Malvo, who was 17 at that time, told via telephone from a Virginia prison where he is serving a life sentence that there were supposed to be two other people involved in the crimes, but they backed out in the end. The total number of the snipers with silenced weapons was supposed to be three or four, and Malvo declared that they could have done a lot more damage along the entire Eastern Seaboard if they were more people, but in the end the only ones left were him and John Allen Muhammad. The two criminals kept under terror the DC metro area for three months, shooting 13 people at random and killing 10 of them. Officers from the Montgomery County Police in Maryland, who learned the new details of the case from Star Trek Captain Kirk’s TV interview with the murderer, said that they will sent detectives and investigate once again the whole case. Chief Drew Tracy, who led the investigation in 2002, said that Malvo has been recently interviewed regarding a possible connection to a series of crimes that took place before the DC shootings. It seems that at least one of the people that was supposed to help Malvo and backed out was killed, but then again police can not really rely on Malvo’s statements, which have been changing a lot since his arrest. The other shooter, John Allen Muhammad, aged 48, who was the head of the serial murders, was accused by Malvo’s defense lawyers to have brainwashed the 17 years old young man and was executed by lethal injection in November 2009.

During the “Confessions of the DC Sniper with William Shatner: An Aftermath Special” Malvo also claims that there are more than just the 13 known victims in the DC area, but he did not specify what is the total number of the victims. Paul Ebert, Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney, says that he does not fully rely on Malvo’s declarations which have been very inconsistent during the 8 detention years, but Chief Tracy declares that after his arrest and sentencing he provided the investigators with credible information. Malvo also declared during the interview that John Allen Muhammad trained him for a long period of time, since he was very young, to become a cold blooded killer. He said that after he committed a crime, Muhammad evaluated him and then discussed what he did wrong so that he did not do it the same next time in terms of emotion, approach and tactics. Shatner told “Good Morning America” that he believes the teenager was brainwashed by Muhammad and this is the reason for which Malvo became a serial killer at the age of 17 and is now in prison for the rest of his life. Malvo is imprisoned in a maximum security prison and says that he has forgiven Mohammad and himself for the crimes and says that he has to live with the thought that every day somebody’s wife, child or husband will not come home because of him, but he can not change that any more.
