While many are disappointed with press conference I think it was quite ok. We all wanted to get whole cake but they just gave us small piece. Still better than what we got till now. I think main point and actually big step forward was their announcement of new website - wait for it - for finally communicating with public and submission of tips.
Belt - they probably holded that evidence away from public untill now as they suspected that they might be initials of the killer. And they might be.
Someone here suggesting that it could be area of Mannorville, HM for Halsey Manor, is actually great thought too. They have stated that belt was found in the early stages of the investigation - hmm anyone know when was that or which cases? Mannorville or?
911 tape - they actually did mention it - that they hold it as evidence and not releasing it. Yes, there might be something on that tape which is incriminating so they keep it tight to the vest. Once case is solved there would not be any more reason Not to release it.
They have talked about Shannah Gilbert too - and interestingly they have stated cause of death is undetermined - so not ruling completely out or in foul play.
Funilly, if you have noticed at the beginning of speach they have stated that investigation has nothing to do with previous investigation or leadership of that case.
Lady in charge speaking seems quite ok, and if she is in charge of the case, after all those wasted years I am getting my hope back.
They have not discussed genealogy or who will be working with them on that, they only confirmed that they will use this new technology.
