Just putting myself in the perpetrator's shoes for a minute... He must be FREAKING out. I, an uninvolved party, am concerned with the length of time it is taking them to make a decision to bring charges against the "unnamed" person/s involved in the warrant. Can you imagine how DL must be feeling right now? How each day that goes by, the apprehension and fear must build. He knows the evidence that has been released to the media against him (the dogs, witnesses etc), but he must be racking his brain trying to figure out what else they have that is causing them to delay. What kind of case are they building!? I actually believe him that he is depressed and withdrawn. Bet sleeping nights is getting pretty hard too! I can imagine that the stress of trying to maintain the "grieving parent/victim" bit to his family and friends is weighing more and more each day. Because, guess what! It is not going away. Someone is going down for this. And I think eventually, for that person, the relief that will come from sitting in a jail cell, having their future decided for them by the turning wheels of the justice system, will be much better than this fear-filled, stressful half life that they are living while they are being investigated. All IMO. But, it's nice to think that there is no rest for the person who disappeared this little one.
