WHY "SNIPERCATCHER?"

The greatest thing I ever did in my life was to help catch two snipers, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo. In October, 2002 I was producing the Charlie Warren Show on WMAL, when cops were closing in on the snipers. CNN gave the license number of their car, so I wrote it down in longhand for Charlie to read on the air. A few hours later, the cops caught them. We didn't think much about it until Whitney Donahue, the truck driver who turned them in, said on "Good Morning America" that he got the numbers listening to us. (Charlie still has the original sheet of typing paper with my handwriting)
