Mark: 我和妻子在2002年10月前往巴尔的摩参加迎婴派对，途中在一个休息站停靠。当时停车场几乎空无一人，只有一辆深蓝色轿车。我上完厕所后，发现车里坐着一个中年男子和一个青少年，他们让我感到非常不安。我催促妻子赶快离开，并且注意到轿车后备箱上有一个奇怪的孔。后来我们得知，那两个人就是臭名昭著的DC狙击手约翰·艾伦·穆罕默德和李·博伊德·马尔沃，他们利用那个孔进行射击。我们很幸运没有成为他们的目标，因为他们不想暴露藏身地点。 Kathy: 我也觉得那个休息站的经历很诡异，尤其是马克催促我离开的时候，我能感觉到他的紧张。后来在新闻里看到那辆车和那两个人，才知道我们差点就遇到了危险。真是太可怕了。
