Chamber of commerce officials said the changes have to come quickly. Since the incident, there’s been a trail attendance spike.
“We have to figure out a way to take back our trails, and to let people know that they’re going to be safe,” Leahy said. “That they can come here and enjoy not only the trails, but the beautiful downtown.”
In the meantime, deputies are patrolling the trails. Until upgrades are made, they urge users to be cautious.
“Simply have a cell handy, and call 911,” Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby said. “Call our office, and that way we can have our deputies respond.”
As for the investigation, deputies had nothing new to add Monday. However, following a news conference with German’s grandfather last week, Sheriff Leazenby said the phone lines lit up.
“There has been an increase in tips and leads,” Sheriff Leazenby said. “At this point, I’m so confident, as sheriff of this county, that we will resolve this. Obviously I can’t give a time on that, but I’m still confident.”
