Random... the DC Snipers were random... they were still caught... not perfect... they were better than others... but the human factor still weighs in. Even many of the serial murders make small mistakes, Joel Rifkin, Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Ramierez, John Wayne Gacy... so far the only one that got away with it is Jack the Ripper...

Well, true, the DC Snipers were random in terms of their victim selection, but there were patterns in their behavior that (IIRC) led to their capture - usage of the same car each time, and they confined their killings to the same geographic area.
I'm not sure I agree with Jack the Ripper being the only one who got away with it...I mean, the only ones we generally hear about are the ones who were caught. I can't remember -- was the Zodiac killer ever captured? I don't think so.
