Ding, ding, ding!
@sunshineray: If your words in this post could be heard in Delphi at this moment, I believe that, in at least a few households right now, "bells" would be ringing, and in a few places, those bells would be "clanging" very loudly! In addition to fear of major life changes and/or fear for the sake of a younger family member's future, I don't think it would be too much to also imagine perhaps there might be
fear for some family member's/members'
own lives; thus, the deafening silence.
Generally wondering... what are possible avenues/ways by which such family members/a family member
might be able to reach out to LE
without fearing for their lives/life? Sure, there's a tip line, but...what if, for example, a suspect's family members are feeling as if their every word/movement to/from their house is being checked,
by.the.suspect? What then?
