CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: Well, it's time to check out the buzz in the Granite State this morning. Mark Ericson, Danielle Carrier, better known as the WOKQ waking crew in Portsmouth and Manchester, New Hampshire on the phone with us.
Hey, guys, good morning.
MARK ERICSON, WOKQ RADIO HOST: Good morning, Catherine.
DANIELLE CARRIER, WOKQ RADIO HOST: Hello.
CALLAWAY: What's going on up there?
ERICSON: Well, all kinds of things. What would you want to hear about first?
CALLAWAY: I don't know. Why don't we start with the interesting article that was in the paper there, the local paper there.
ERICSON: Foster's "Sunday Citizen" had an article by Sean Murphy over the weekend talking about a professor at UNH. He's a professor at UNH's Justice Works Center. His name is Ted Kirkpatrick and he's talking about the situation with the serial sniper and saying that he doesn't think in this case profiling is going to be able to work.
CALLAWAY: Oh, really?
ERICSON: He says that profiling works best when there's some sort of a common thread that can be drawn between the crimes. And in this instance, as you know, Catherine, there's not a lot of commonality between all of these crimes. And, in effect, the professor says that profiling is more art than science and doesn't see that in this case it's going to outdo good old-fashioned detective work.
CALLAWAY: Yes, but isn't profiling, some profiling part of good detective work, though?
ERICSON: I think that's certainly a part of all the pieces of the puzzle. But the professor feels that detective work, that tips from the public, this graphic of the white truck that's been created, those are the things that are going to win the day on this one.
CALLAWAY: What do your callers say about that?
ERICSON: Well, we haven't done an awful lot of chatting with folks about that. Locally, however, I mean everybody is watching for this graphic of the white truck. As you know, the media outlets are publicizing this for the folks in the Maryland area and everyone, I think, is going to continue to keep an eye out.
CALLAWAY: Hey, I understand there's some interesting fund raising going on in your area up there.
CARRIER: Oh, yes.
CALLAWAY: I just want to know, yes, Danielle, are you in this?
CARRIER: I'm not in this. I am, but I have to say, if I could grow old gracefully like some of these women, I would be very happy. I as amazed...
CALLAWAY: Oh, what is the age?
CARRIER: The ages range, I do believe, from 38 to 69.
ERICSON: This is the town of Ackworth, New Hampshire. It's a town of all of 776 people. They've got a volunteer fire department. They needed a truck and they came up with this idea where a bunch of women in town created a calendar. The women took off their clothes, as you can see on your screen there.
CALLAWAY: Oh, my, they really did, didn't they?
ERICSON: Yes, they really did.
CALLAWAY: Oh, my, Chad. Look at this. I've never seen a fire truck used that way.
CARRIER: I don't think I'll ever look at a fire truck the same way ever.
CALLAWAY: I'm curious, now, these women are 38 to 69? I say you go, girl. They look great.
ERICSON: In fact, a 60-year-old woman who posed for the calendar was quoted as saying that the calendar project was a lot more fun than baking cookies.
CALLAWAY: Yes, I bet. I bet. I wonder how many firemen were standing out there watching those photographs being taken.
CARRIER: Well, it's a very small town. They don't have traffic lights. They don't even have stop signs.
CALLAWAY: Oh, well, the volunteer fire departments, you know, they save people's lives there. But I hope it raises some money for them, you know?
ERICSON: Hey, guys did you ever find Travis Tritt? Is he still on his Harley or what's going on up there?
CARRIER: He seems to pop up everywhere except where he's supposed to be. ERICSON: But the new...
CALLAWAY: He's -- wait a minute, wait a minute. I think I see him behind the fire truck.
ERICSON: I think he was driving the truck.
CALLAWAY: That's him wearing the hat.
All right, well, thank you so much for being with us this morning.
That's Mark and Danielle. We'll be looking for one of those calendars in the mail.
CARRIER: Thank you very much.
CALLAWAY: All right.
MYERS: Thanks, guys. Have a good day.
