Still nothing new? I hope they learn something soon.

Nope. Nothing new, unfortunately. I found Derrick's FB. His preferred name is Tank. I've read a bit through his page and get the impression he may have been having relationship problems. I'm getting the DV vibes and it scares me for Tank. I really hope LE is taking his case seriously.
