D.C. Sniper Caught on Videotape

October 13, 2002

From the NY POST
"A surveillance tape reportedly caught a suspicious person during Wednesday evening's attack on a 53-year-old engineer, who was killed in Manassas, Va., by the mystery gunman who police say has killed eight and wounded two in his spree.

According to a 36-year-old Georgia man detained by investigators near the scene of Friday's fatal shooting at a Massaponax, Va., gas station, police compared his face with a photo from the tape.

"They thought I was the sniper," said Hobert Epps, a 5-foot-9 white male of medium build with sandy brown hair and a mustache.

Epps, who was later released, said cops told him the wallet-sized image was from a video surveillance tape taken at one of the crime scenes."
