Have the mobile homes been given back to the families yet? I wonder if what LE was looking for ever showed up in them. I wonder if LE was just trying to make the murderers nervous enough to make a mistake. I wonder why they are keeping the autopsies from the public. The murderers know how they died.
I am getting so frustrated I want to stomp away but I'm addicted to this crime. Has it gone to the FBI yet? That's where it belongs.
FBI and DEA initially had some limited participation, but DeWine's office and Ohio BCI have been in charge pretty much from the start. We've never seen any quotes or interviews from feds, with the exception of the retired DEA agents who spoke to the media in the first week after the killings.
Reader & DeWine have always said the trailers are in storage in case they need a jury to look at them during a trial. They claim they have all the evidence they retrieved in their own custody.
As for news media interest, it's very surprising to see the Cincy and Columbus newspapers filing the lawsuit to view autopsy info, but its unlikely any other news outlet inside Ohio will look into the case. News media here usually don't challenge the leaders at the state capitol. It would be great if someone outside Ohio did investigative journalism, interviewed the families, etc. Daily Mail did a little at first, but cooled down after that.
One example I can think of where social media and outside journalists had an impact was with the Steubenville rape case a couple of years ago.
Steubenville High School rape case
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steubenville_High_School_rape_case
It was one of those sad cases where a young girl was passed out drunk at a party and subsequently raped by a group of football players who documented it on social media. It was all going to be swept under the rug by the principal and football coach until demonstrators showed up in town to protest and national news media followed. Pressure was applied to the local Congressman who called DeWine. They piddled around, but the case really broke open when the group "Anonymous" hacked the investigative files and threatened to reveal the other football players who participated in the rape, but were not arrested.
DeWine was forced to act after that. He empaneled a grand jury and finally revealed all the files. There were more arrests made as a result and another rape was uncovered.
Apparently, it sometimes takes Anonymous hacking files to break open cases in Ohio (just kidding).
Local Ohio news media know more than we do why they need access to the redacted info in the autopsy reports or they wouldn't have taken this to the Ohio Supreme Court. JMO
