With this little crusade that SLED has embarked on to squash rumors, they seem to be not understanding that there will be much more speculation, guessing, and even crazy conspiracies that will continue to float thru the community and of course online. Even this release about the rumors seems a bit empty without some progress being made on solving this mess. Is this going to be their objective now, a PR campaign against FB groups?
Its always interesting when a case gets national media attention in an area where LE is accustomed to doing their own thing without oversight. Even worse when state LE is just as bad and local news media does nothing. Suddenly big news coverage and social media shine a spotlight on the case and local LE has a conniption fit because they're used to taking care of business on their own.
