I have to be honest and say that I too have "gotten in on the tail end" in cases I didn't follow, when there was huge development in the case. For example, Lizzie and Lyric, and even recently when I posted in Chelsea Bruck's case for the first time when part of her costume was found just the other day.
I know what its like to feel the frustration of going in circles, repeating information, I felt this way in Elisa Lam's case, in which I was there from the beginning, then all of a sudden same old questions etc etc. I remember I even made a not so nice post which was understandably deleted.
You guys know I have been here since DAY 1, with a small handful of people from the time AJ went missing. But there is also a lot I missed...not everyone can follow every post, every case, every thread, every detail, and in this case particularly there are so many posts that even a seasoned wser like me has had trouble keeping up.
I guess what I'm trying to say is don't be too hard on new people coming in, asking for an update. At least they care...I hope this is coming out right. I know what you guys mean about catching up on the basics, but in this day of immediate information, it helps sometimes to just ask a question outright, as I have done many times before.
