On my phone so hard for me to type but there is a small town dynamic here I think. I have never been to Stuttgart. I did grow up in a similar town. Locals correct me but as to the reporter and many other's apparent reaction :
1. In a small town investigative reporting is non- existing. In a very short time no one would would even talk to that kind of a reporter. They not only report there they have to live there.
2. Investigating the mother of missing child- see number 1. Also if the mother ends up not involved it could ruin a reporter 's career in a small town.
3. There is no such thing as a secret except to outsiders or sometimes LE getting involved could cause ramifications in a small town. Which is why I am pleasantly surprised that we have VIs and am happy for it.
I think that may be true for certain small towns. I live in a small town with about 2k less people than Stuttgart. We recently had a young boy in town hit by a bus driver. Reporters came to town & people came out to speak passionately for both sides. I still to this day can't believe anyone would want to support the driver, but it happen. Living within the village I see the police all the time. But we also have the CSO rolling through as well. I think the different between our small town & Stuttgart is simple. Most our LE are townies, they live here, raise their kids here and grew up here. They have pride in our area and don't want crime coming in and ruining that environment. I don't get that impression from what I've read here. It seems more like a good ole boys club and as long as you don't disrupt their balance they leave you alone irregardless of what you do. Jmo...
