    I think it's a confirmation that the County Attorney's prosecutors were at the scene. And the part about not inserting herself is a message to constituents who might wonder why the County Attorney herself wasn't part of the group. She's saying her experienced prosecutors are there, and there's...

    They don't preserve scenes forever for jurors to visit. It's just not practical. It can take a couple of years or more for a case to go to trial. Some crimes happen at businesses -- you couldn't ask a business to shut down for two or more years. Others happen out in the open, where seasons...

    Those look like prosecutors. My guess is that L.E. has gone to the prosecutor's office and requested the filing of charges or applied for some type of search warrant. The prosecutors are undecided, maybe wanting more information, and thought maybe going to scene to look at something or get a...

    I've seen prosecutors visit a crime scene, to get a better idea of the layout. I can't think of a good reason for a whole dang team of estate lawyers to visit the scene.

    If it's a large enough county, the APS response might even be part of an automated process. I, too, don't put much significance into it.

    Has there been any mention, or does anyone happen to know: On what day of the week is garbage collection in that area? They were doing ground searches almost two weeks after the crime. Evidence could just as easily have been tossed into one of the trash cans in the neighborhood. Hope they...

    And it looks to me like the holster may be connected to a belt loop, rather than a belt. That would suggest a complete novice.

    I'd imagine there are many people who are being questioned in a more discreet fashion. The SWAT team doesn't go out every time they want to talk with someone, but in some circumstances it might make sense, for example if there's a belief there are weapons present, or the person has a history of...

    I don't think we can rule out some type of mental illness. A person who has some form of mental illness might live on the streets or in the wilderness or wherever, or might be transient. Such a person might carry a backpack, and might keep gloves/mask for committing crimes of opportunity. This...

    If the person has ever been arrested and is in the system, not that long. But if they have to use genealogy DNA, that could take a while to come up with possible relatives.

    Just some random thoughts: Was the person smart enough to not bring his cell phone? Are there any LPRs in the area — on a likely exit route? Or was the person smart enough to not use a vehicle with correct plates? Maybe had stolen plates, or a temporary tag, or removed/covered the plates? Is...

    Maybe similar, maybe not. But similar isn't good enough. I'm guessing the detained guy had absolutely no valuable information. I'm guessing he was the subject of a tip that absolutely needed to be checked out, but he's not a viable suspect.

    Person who was detained has been released. It's a good reminder that detaining someone is different from arresting and charging.

    ID - 4 University of Idaho Students Murdered - Moscow # 16

    There's nothing that says police can't lie to the public about an investigation, but as a practical matter, they generally don't. They commonly withhold information, but they generally don't flat-out lie. If they did, the public would never know when they're being told the truth or being lied...

    ID - 4 University of Idaho Students Murdered - Moscow # 16

    They seem to be back-pedaling all the time on the "targeted" thing. I have to wonder if the university, from the get-go, asked city police to try to keep fears down. University leaders get so worked up about their public image, especially regarding campus safety. I can see the police being...

    There was not a change of venue in the OJ case. The charge was filed in LA County, and that's where the case was tried.

    Yes. In the United States of America, we believe that everyone should get a fair trial, should have representation when charged with a crime, and should be presumed innocent until proven otherwise. As Americans, we believe that a person charged with a crime should have an adequate defense. In my...

    GUILTY IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 *Arrest* #35

    The talk here about a change of venue is fascinating. It's surprising how little the public -- even members of a forum devoted to this stuff -- knows about how this works. Have you ever heard of O.J. Simpson? Since the O.J. case, changes of venue rarely happen. Even before that, they rarely...

    Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 #32

    I shouldn't have said it never happens. I should have said it is extremely rare. And I'm not trying to gloat about being right about stuff -- just trying to point out that some theories are improbable, at best, simply because of the evidence we have, coupled with the knowledge we've gained from...
