Dean Harold Meyers, a 53-year-old civil engineer, was shot and killed on the evening of October 9, 2002, while fueling his gray Mazda at a Sunoco station on Sudley Road in Manassas, Virginia. A single .223-caliber round struck him in the head, and he died at the scene. Ballistics tied his killing to a series of sniper-style shootings that had terrorized the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area over the previous week; investigators reported the same weapon was used in those attacks.

Authorities assembled a large multi-jurisdictional task force as the shootings continued across Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Public reports described sightings of a white van or box truck near some shooting locations. The case against two suspects later moved forward in multiple jurisdictions, and a trial in Virginia for Meyers death began in October 2003.

Did anyone in the Manassas area see Meyers at the Sunoco that evening or notice suspicious vehicles near Sudley Road on October 9, 2002?
