On tonight's episode, "Kill Zone," the Crime Scene Investigation unit uncovered a paramilitary bonsai artist / sniper whose patience and diligence gave him away. They found crushed Japanese Black Pine needles at the crime scene and the plants in his home among dozens of high-powered rifles. The concentration honed for decades of caring for tiny plants enabled him to lie in wait for hours on a rooftop, waiting for his victims. Ultimately his hobby was his undoing! __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS? Get authorized today! bonsaiTALK: Over 100,005.36 Megabytes Served this Month!

Here are some screen caps. Unfortunately this is the first time I've used that crazy capture program and I lost the rifle & bonsai collection. Oh well. Maybe next time!

1) Pine needles as evidence?

2) Pathology lab & victims

3) Helicopter pursuit

4) Another bonsai artist in custody -
Criminal - "Don't you want to know why?"
Detective - "No. You're a sick man who's killed four innocent people, and tortured trees. You like death, and I hope you enjoy your own."

OK. (I added the bit about torturing trees.)

I've never watched that show but I would have liked to see it. Quote: OK. (I added the bit about torturing trees.) What will my neighbors think? I'm glad you qualified that Matt. __________________ GaryS Last edited by GaryS : 20-Nov-2002 at 01:13 PM.

Since I'm Australia no one will hear this man's story so maybe I'll be safe until then.....(Now where did I put those rifles again!!!!)

The funniest thing was that this guy had a place with approximatley 10 trees, all outdoor. This person according to the show was very patient and would wait for up to a day practicing his gig until the right moment. His trees were all indoor in very bad lighting conditions. Someone wanted to make it look cool, but did not do the right research... __________________ --Kristopher
