It's a wanted poster for a delivery truck -- and investigators in the D-C area sniper shootings hope it will lead to an arrest.
Police are releasing composite photos of a white box truck witnesses saw near the attacks.
The sniper is now linked to eight deaths and two woundings in Maryland, D-C and Virginia.
Police are not saying if they know who they're looking for or if the sniper acted alone.
But the reward in the case has grown to one-MILLION dollars.

Shiite Muslim leaders in Lebanon and Iran are expressing outrage over remarks by the Reverend Jerry Falwell.
Last week, on the program 60- Minutes, Falwell called Islam's prophet a terrorist.
An Iranian paper quotes a high- ranking religious leader as saying Falwell is a quote "mercenary and must be killed."
The reported statements came during Friday prayers, and the Muslim leader went on to say that Falwell's death "is a religious duty,'' but that his case should not be tied to the Christian community.
