I disagree. The public has a vested interest in knowing the basic elements of the crime: cause of death, whether the girls were sexually assaulted, etc. People have a right to protect themselves and their families from BG, and they need information in order to do that. LE does not have a right to withhold as much information as they have in this case.
My Sunday morning rant... Good Morning All!!
I totally agree!! That one tip could come because the cause of death, or SA was released. Would releasing this impede the investigation? IMHO, no. If they truly have DNA and other evidence that is what will convict this monster, not the fact the LE released COD or SA.
I also don't agree with LE saying not to post pictures of "presumed innocent people". Most of all of the pictures that have been posted, the person has prior criminal charges. Does this make them guilty, no~~but it isn't like that are upstanding citizens of the community either. If they were, their mugshots wouldn't ALREADY be posted in the news and all over the internet! That bumps them up to a more likely suspect, IMHO anyway.
It is being done already anyway between friends. I came across a FB page in which one of the person's friends said, Hey you look like the guy wanted in Delphi, in a laughing joking kind of way. To me, that is the same as posting the person's picture out there on the internet~~no difference....Does it make LE's job harder, certainly. But this time of year, people sending in their taxes makes my job harder~~it's part of the job.
I'm also frustrated that Libby did everything in her ability to make sure that BG was brought to justice and LE chooses to be silent. Give the public some more information. There were witnesses. BG was seen by OTHERS. Instead of posting a black and white sketch, give some more details. They gave the detail that the witnesses believe the man did not have blue eyes, ok...but...what about his beard/goat tee?? Is it brown, red, gray, or a combination?? What is the harm in saying the witnesses BELIEVE BG has a red/gray beard/goat tee? Wouldn't that help someone more positively identify BG???? If Parabon was used, what is the harm in releasing a colored picture of BG? We've seen it with other wanted criminals? Why not BG?
I guess I'm just really frustrated that its coming up to the 1 year anniversary (1 month from yesterday/today) and BG has been able to go about his business as business as usual and he should be behind bars already.
I praise the families for making the efforts to get the sketch out to the public and nationally. He's out there somewhere! Someone knows this man!! He needs to be brought to justice for the sake of these girls and for the safety of the public.
Ok, done ranting for the morning.
