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...

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...

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...

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...

Most likely the county jail. Has anyone checked recent bookings?

Had to step away from here for the past week because it was getting so repetitive. Sorry to hear that her body was found. Unfortunately, this is the way I expected it to unfold. I doubted she was held captive. I see that some people are still postulating that she was hit by a drunk driver. I...

In all likelihood this is unrelated, but FBI just sent out a news release saying they're looking for a "John Doe 40." Link here: https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/ecap/unknown-individual---john-doe-40/@@download.pdf

Was the body removed in that case? It can't be totally ruled out, I suppose, but I really have trouble believing that a hit-and-run driver would bother to pick up the body, rather than just get the hell out of Dodge. And this driver managed to not leave any evidence behind?

Family might think releasing more details will help the investigation, family might be afraid that resources will fade if public interest fades, family members themselves could very well be wanting to know more about what investigators know. I don't buy the notion that family members are...

One other possible factor: Appease the family.

Hope so, but they're probably getting tons of calls about people finding items that the finders think could be related.

Good night, all. Let me know if anything happens after this point in the thread. I'm calling come-zee back-zee.

All kinds of chargs are possible, depending on the evidence. Simply lying to investigators would be enough for a charge of obstruction of justice. There's also concealment of a death, which can encompass a lot of actions. There might be evidence of a burglary, a battery, all sorts of things that...

I'm starting to think that way. Would be one explanation for LE's silence -- not asking for help find to find a certain type of vehicle, not putting out a general description of a strange person seen in the area, nothing. I'm starting to think they're keeping a very, very close eye on someone...
