Publisher's Summary

Wednesday, October 2, 2002.

Aspen Hill, Maryland. Northgate Plaza.

5:20 PM.

Inside Michael’s craft supply store, cashier Ann Chapman rings up another customer. Then it happens. A loud crack; a gust of wind; the light in register five goes dark.

Over the next 23 days, the entire DC area will be thrust into a reign of terror unprecedented in American history. Sniper attacks targeting and murdering everyday citizens will bring the entire region to its knees, as a nation still reeling from the recent attacks of 9/11 and the anthrax scare, are forced to confront a new type of brutal assault—this time in their own backyard. As law enforcement grapples with the mass carnage and chaos, media’s ravenous 24-hour cycle amplifies the very real fear, while steadily pumping new theories and bad leads onto a paralyzed public desperate for it all to end.

But who can stop it? And exactly how?

Call Me God is the never-before-told story of the fascinating and turbulent investigation that led to the diabolical and elusive killers' capture; one that pitted protocol against instinct, sacred institutions against individual insight. Told firsthand by those few who had the vision and expertise to solve it, and including a fascinating look into the behavioral, ballistic, forensic, and electronic analysis vital to cracking the case, FBI agent brothers Jim Clemente (former FBI behavioral profiler) and Tim Clemente (former FBI counter-terrorism expert) take us through every facet and flaw of a nationwide manhunt that pressure tested nearly every aspect of law enforcement capabilities—and its glaring vulnerabilities.

Anchored by harrowing accounts from victims, intimate conversations with family members of those deceased, as well as candid accounts from those who knew the perpetrators best, relive the haunting events of the DC Sniper attack and piece together a true crime phenomenon that's impact can still be felt today.

It Was Okay

The story was interesting but I found the consistent self praise by Clementes on their involvement and that of the FBI took away a lot of the impact. It gets back on track during the history of the shooters once the Clementes stop saying how awesome of a job they did.

Interesting

Anyone who is a true crime fan, should give this podcast a listen.

I didn’t realize that they were so concentrated on a white van that no other vechile crossed their mind till towards the middle of the investigation.

How many people had crossed paths with these killers blew my mind away.

It was interesting to hear the investigators and the families of victim’s give their side of what happened in those 3 weeks.

Chilling

This brought back all the horror from that time. Mt sister lives in falls church and I recall hearing there was someone shot but name not released. My parents were supposed to visit but cancelled. This story has the details and it was far worse than I knew.
