Mildred Muhammad, the former wife of Washington, D.C., sniper John Allen Muhammad, will speak Thursday on the University of Missouri campus at an event in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Mildred Muhammad:
We have to normalize the issue," she said, "and by that I don't mean make it acceptable, but open up the dialogue so that if a man in a bar hears another guy talking about hitting his wife, the man doesn't keep his mouth shut, but says, "That is not OK.' "Kit's passion is contagious," says [Rebecca Cerese]. "She's managed to get Vice President Joe Biden involved in the film, and when she went to interview [Gloria Steinern] they hit it off, and Gloria has become one of our biggest supporters." [Kit Gruelle]'s gift of communication has been key in gaining the trust of survivors, including Mildred Muhammad, the estranged wife of the Washington, D.C., sniper, John Muhammad, who was executed late last year. "The sniper case started as domestic violence case," says Gruelle. "He intended to ...
Mildred Muhammad says if the police and others "had just listened" to her, the victims of the D.C. sniper might still be alive and ex-husband John Allen Muhammad would not be facing execution next week. If they just would have listened, if they just would have put his name in the [National Crime Information Center], if he had been debriefed, if he had been counseled," she said, shaking her head in hindsight about the preventive measures that might have averted the 2002 sniper shooting spree.
Mildred Muhammad was supposed to be one of her ex-husband's victims. Instead, John Allen Muhammad was arrested one day after she learned he was responsible for gunning down at least 10 people in the Washington, D.C., area. The woman once married to the notorious "D.C. sniper" shared her story last night at Jesse Hall on the University of Missouri campus. Alpha Chi Omega sponsored the program in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Domestic violence is one of the sorority's philanthropic causes, President Kelli Kreher said.
On November 9, Muhammad's second wife, Mildred Muhammad, appeared on CNN's "Larry King Live" and was asked by the host if Muhammad was a different man after returning from the Gulf War. "He went from someone who was always happy, that knew what direction he was going in, and was focused, to a person that was totally confused, depressed all the time - didn't know how to get to where he wanted to be," she told King. King also asked about allegations that Muhammad had abused her. The couple divorced in 1999. Not physically, she said, "but verbally, mentally and psychologically," was Muhammad's answer to King, adding, that she believed that her former husband planned to kill her, using the other deaths as a cover. Muhammad, the mother of three children, has written a book that covers the ab...

You have become my enemy and as my enemy, I am going to kill you." So said D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad to his then-wife of a dozen years, Mildred, in 1999. Muhammad and his young accomplice, Lee Malvo, would kill 10 Washington-area residents and wound three before police realized that Mrs. Muhammad was the intended target of the snipers' "elaborate scheme" to make good on her husband's threat, she said.
[Barbara Kopple]'s The D.C. Sniper's Wife is more of a standard-issue talking-head affair, breaking down the story of John Alien Muhammad, the sniper who wreaked havoc along the Beltway in 2002, and Mildred, his significant other, in less than an hour. Cutting from news footage to home movies and interviews with family and authorities, this is more about the sniper (not interviewed for this doc) and his evolution from military-serving family man to cold-blooded serial killer than his wife. Kopple does manage to get some horror stories from the ex-Mrs. Muhammad, such as the gut-wrenching year and a half she spent in a women's shelter fearing her husband, who kidnapped their kids, would kill her.
An execution date, with seemingly little possibility of a stay, has been set for John Allen Muhammad. In 2002, Muhammad went on a three-week shooting spree, leaving 10 people dead and three wounded. His execution date is set for November 10, according to Devine, Connell, Sheldon & Flood, the law firm representing him. According to one news account, his second wife, Mildred Muhammad, sought and was granted a restraining order.
USA Network has done a lucrative business in the cable age with network reruns, recent-era movies, a little sports and a few original series. The cable channel has modeled itself after the commercial networks, more or less. Oh, sure, "The Dead Zone" had a tasteless episode or two, but generally the network hasn't tried to push the envelope the way certain other basic-cable channels have.
