It seems to me that the cops and the FBI got serious about this around 5 years too late. Good luck with your evidence, good luck with your dog- and -pony show.
Brook and his brother were ex cops.........so they know damn good and well how to destroy evidence. I think this murder case is going to be weak beyond weak, due to the passage of time and the covering up of evidence. The Bardstown police didn't help anything with their inaction and failure to actively investigate from
the very beginning. Tommy Ballard was assassinated by either Brook or Nick.....you pick !! Knowing either of them though, likely they hired a street hustler named " ????" , to follow Tommy Ballard out into a field and gun him down within the range of a rifle scope. You can rest assured that both the rifle and the box of bullets associated with it have disappeared forever. It's highly doubtful that the FBI confiscated it today....
Initially, I was excited by the news today...............but then it dawned on me.................."Well, these two brothers have had five years to cover up and destroy evidence.......so what exactly do the cops think they're going to find by raiding their houses ??" Their vehicles ?? (washed and detailed 20 times since)
This is too little ..............too late..... it's all for show. You can expect the FBI and the local sheriff to go into hiding for the next 3 years...................this is how it works now. Everything will be hidden, and everything will be deflected by the simple, absurd, well-thought-out , well-used, overly used, mistreated, chicken-##sh#t term,
"Investigation". What that word means is this...................you have no right to know anything.....until we decide you do. And..........if we decide that you don't need to know anything..................then you never will. (in other words: "Don't ask us questions !!!!")
That's not the way law enforcement was set up to operate initially......that's just the way they've convinced the public they they should work !! "We'll tell you...............what we feel like telling you.....when and if we think it's necessary. It's because of the brazen attitude....\adopted by the local sheriff and police force... that Crystals death was never pursued..........................
