Again, Foureyes, you and I agree on some major points. I will second your list of questions as well. Like I said before, some questions get answers, some only beget other questions. When you only get more questions, it is time to be wary.
Interesting finds on names and dates:

HL&T From the Editor: What drives decisions?
December 15, 2013
BY SUSIE CURRIE — In recent months, the Hyattsville City Council has spent hours discussing such issues . . .
http://www.hyattsville.org/Archive/ViewFile/Item/317
2005 Mayor Bill Gardiner called the meeting of the Council to order at 7:34 p.m. at the Municipal Building, 4310 Gallatin Street, Hyattsville, Maryland. Present were Mayor Bill Gardiner, Council Vice President Paula Perry, and Council Members, Douglas Dudrow, Scott Wilson, Christopher Currie (7:45 p.m.), Mary Elwood, and Carlos Lizanne. Council President Stuart Eisenberg, and Council Members, Jon Lewis, and Scott Wythe were absent Also present were City Administrator Murphy, Chief of Police Holland, Director of Public Works Henry, Director of Recreation and Parks Hager, City Treasurer Oliphant, City Attorney Colaresi, and City Clerk Barber.
Did your response on post 632 above omit some other possibly pertinent information? "Regarding your previous question, I'm on the board of the non-profit organization that publishes the Life & Times, but
I'm not a member of the editorial staff." (Bolding enhancement added) Wasn't Councilman Dudrow the one who was involved in the settlement with the property owner of 5229?
Thank you again, Foureyes. Hmmmm, now, the question list grows . . .
Just when did the investigation into the molestation of the southern Maryland boys begin?
Are there any "possible" connections to this strange saga of the Welch Family or any extended connections to other circumstances, the City Council, or the HL&T?
Was LLW2 ever asked about Luther "Shorty" or anyone else being connected? (Not that it would make any answer received truthful, but it could open doors for further exploration)
Even for finding and relocating "neighborhood sources" who talked to the newspaper back then.. Addresses can be found. Why not ask that person who informed you "Stacy Welch died" this question; When and where
did Shorty live in Hyattsville, why did he die? (Courtesy of Foureyes)
What are the details involving the settlement worked out by the owner of the house and a councilman a few years back? THE HOUSE (5229) is now considered a possible murder site (possibly because of reporting of HL&T? Even you doubted RAW daughter's story).
On the razing of the house next door to it, which coincidentally took place during the same time frame as LLW2 began to "spill the beans," who got the razing contract for the house next door? (If the missing house was disclosed to Montgomery County police, was the interesting timing of the action?)
Where was the debris dumped? Probably not important to this case, but still of interest to the public nonetheless because of the age of the structure and the City awarding the contract-- was the site examined for hazardous waste? Incidentally, why didn't the owner handle the razing instead of the city?
Who paid the final costs, all of them, the owner or the taxpayer?
Just asking for investigative reporting and COMPLETE transparency based on your continued identification (and reporting of RAW daughter's allegation that her deceased uncle should be investigated in order to give fairness to her father) of the site as a murder scene possibility. Hyattsville Life and Times 1975 and now!
Sometimes things can appear to change over time and yet stay the same in reality! At the same time, from the motion picture industry we have learned that , "Art can imitate life, or life can imitate art." Remember the slogan of the old tv game show, You Don't Say, "It's not what you say that counts, it's what you don' say." If you read enough pages in WS, is there really a connecting pattern which has developed over scores of years in time? Everything in life has learning experiences attached, but they are only useful if you recognize them for what they are.
