At times LE will release statements in written form, though they have not done so in this case as far as I can recall. I may be wrong, but you can find anything like that on the website of whatever agency released it. When they hold press conferences LE will usually not release anything beyond the spoken info they provide during the press conference. Though, like they did in this case with the video of the vehicle, LE will sometimes provide further materials at the press conference. If information is gathered via a question and answer session with a member of the media LE will not provide anything in writing.
Bizzle.. If you are part of the media, I beg you to start asking some decent questions of the police. So far, the questions asked at the police press conferences by the media are making you all look complicit in some sort of mass conspiracy. I do not wear tinfoil hats but after Sadek murder, I'm a bit suspicious of LE and I'm wondering why the media isn't as suspicious as I am.
(Also.. It's well-known that ND is a very corrupt state.)
Besides the very obvious questions like manner of death and approximate time of death, here's where I'd start...
"Have the people who were last known to be with Tom, namely JW AND CM, been given lie detector tests?"
"Have any of the people associated with Tom ever been CI's?"
"Are JW and CM's statements able to be collaborated by anyone/anything else?"
"Where did Tom's phone ping from at 1:32am on 9/20?"
"What lead you to Larry's RV?"
"Why do you think Tom's body was found there?"
"Was Tom's backpack located with his body?"
"Was Tom's wallet located with his body? If so, was their money and/or credit cards left in it?"
"Was there evidence supporting Tom was murdered at Larry's RV or was his body dumped there?"
"Why is the shoe and phone so important? If they are important, why not put together search groups to look and pick up all of the trash in the areas around both NDSU, the train tracks, and the Moorhead Industrial Park?"
"Why did you wait five months to follow up on a warrant that was needed to get Tom's Snapchat activity when it's been reported by friends he was snap chatting right before his murder?"
"Why wait four months to release a spliced video of a car that could be central to solving the case? Wasn't this a waste of valuable time?"
"Why haven't you brought the FBI in, knowing the body may have been transported across state lines against his will?"
"Why is there no reward being offered?"
"Why aren't there pleas for the public to try to remember and report any details -whether seemingly insignificant or not - about the night of the murder?"
"Why are you keeping the family in the dark about the investigation?"
"Why was Tom at Sanford Medical Center the night of his DUI?"
"What amount of pressure was out on Tom to reveal where he got the alcohol the night of his DUI?"
"Did Tom hang out at any frat houses? Was he pledging any fraternities?"
I'm sure all of you could think of others. This was just a start.
Yes.. I'm the resident skeptic here.. But a lot of us have researched this case up one side and down the other.. We've found all kinds of angles and interesting coincidences that we can't talk about here. I'm just wondering if the police and/or media have been able to do the same and if they haven't, why not? I mean, I'd have (as well as my fellow super-duper websleuthers) sold my/our soul(s) for snapchat access by October 15th and they are just now "getting around to it?" Makes me think it's a crying shame... Like they dropped the ball... And what other balls have been dropped here? It's really a shame.
Unless, of course, they are really playing a game of cat and mouse.. Making themselves look incompetent so they can solve the case? Of course, I DO NOT believe that because I'm a skeptic. But I guess it's a possibility.
