Lots of good points people are making and thankful we have such caring people wanting to be sure the BG is prosecuted.

One thing I dont understand in this case is why LE would not at least release the video portion of the BG on the bridge at least up until that last clip of him we do already see.
It would not harm the case anymore than what we already have seen. It would just give us a few moving fames so we may be able to see the walking gait.
More importantly though it may help to see the video to be able to identify the perp better.
The stills are blurry as we all know and the video is probably blurry too but just like we have done with the stills there are free off the shelf tools that can be done to enhance the video on our own and someone may gain a vital clue to maybe make a positive ID on someone.
I struggle to see how it can harm the investigation in any way because we already see the latest frame. So if they just back up the video and give us the moving parts all the way to that point there is no more harm that could possibly be done to the investigation at all.
I just dont get it. I was a big fan of our passed Foxfire and if I remember right he also felt that the public was a great asset that is under utilized by LE because of old strategies that are clung onto.
I firmly believe that some of the older strategies are just being hung onto because people just have always done things a certain way and keeping things close to the vest is fine when there is a good reason to do it.
I think the problem we have is people just cling onto some of those strategies when there really is no reason to. They do not ask the tough questions of themselves and really think through it. Is there any real harm in releasing the moving parts of what we have already seen?
IMO Absolutely not and it cannot possibly harm the case and can only help us find the BG. In fact I would be willing to bet there is much more of the video that could be released and edited to block out any parts that may be too graphic or disturbing without jeopardizing the case.
And if not that then I am sure there are some more spoken words that could be released to us so we can identify his vocal speech and maybe realize "Hey that is John Smith" talking.
The goal would be to give the public more so that the public can help LE. We are here to help them. Not hurt them or hurt the investigation.
We dont want to jeopardize anything and I dont think it will if it is carefully thought through what parts we can see.
Sorry. Rant over.
It just bothers me so much because I think we can help them more if we are allowed just a few more key breadcrumbs.
Once he is behind bars then LE should be able to match him up by his DNA and hopefully some DNA was found on the bodies or some article of clothing at the scene. The immediate problem at hand is to first identify him and get him to LE. I think we can help more if given more.
The only other reason is if LE already knows who he is and doesnt need our help anymore then that could explain why nothing else has been released to help us help them.
I think the rant is really over this time. LOL
