MK Confidential opens on the early morning stillness of October 20, 2022. The Ponderosa Steakhouse in Ashland, Virginia, is about 100 miles south of the nation’s capital. This far outside the Beltway, a couple on travel felt safely out of reach of the D.C. sniper; they were not. Now, the restaurant payphone rings, and rings, then goes silent.
Megyn hosts retired FBI Supervisory Special Agents and profilers Jim Clemente and James Fitzgerald for an exclusive MK Confidential interview. Together, they examine the shooting that took place the night before, in the Ponderosa parking lot, and the letter that the sniper left behind. Analyzing the killers’ word choice and crime scene setup, Clemente and Fitz redirect the working profile of the sniper from a lone white man in a white van, to a pair of black men — one older, one younger. The revised profile helps investigators narrow in on the truth, as they hunt for the man – now, man — terrorizing D.C. residents into zig-zagging through parking lots for safety. The case becomes a race for communication, and against the clock. This is episode four of the Beltway Snipers story.
