http://www.wsaz.com/news/headlines/34932399.html POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It's been almost a year since Marshall University student Leah Hickman was found murdered in the basement of her apartment building. Now her friends and family are working to keep her memory alive. Hundreds of...

I don't understand the "big picture" here. OK, I realize that many local police departments may not have the 'ultimate tech' resources that could be very valuable in a case like this. I realize that sheriff's departments may not have these resources. I understand that the WV State Police may...

You make a good point, the statement seems odd. I've re-read your message several times, both in a close, analytical sense and in a general reaction sense. I can see a variation on your interpretation. If someone questioned why a cautious person would leave an apartment with the entry...

I don't know how long it takes to process dna evidence. I think there has been a news story fairly recently about the State Police crime lab being backed up. What is the usual processing time? I don't remember how long a delay was cited in the article related to another case, but I remember...

I tried a similar search from the msn page (so it wasn't google; would it be windows 'live?') and got a few hits, too. The ones that I viewed reflected clothing that would not look good on me! But the other thing that I noticed was that two of them had multiple references to Christianity. I...

from WSAZ story linked by Sabal: Preliminary lab results are back in the death of the missing Marshall student. But, police aren't releasing anything to the public. Huntington Police Chief Skip Holbrook says early results about the cause of death and other evidence surrounding Leah Hickman's...

I hope that means that they will release some information on Monday. And I join with everyone to say that I'm so glad that this website is up and running again!

I hadn't thought about that possibility with the plastic. That makes a lot of sense. I'm sure a lot of people are stressed over classes starting and this still being unsolved. It sort of felt like LE was trying to offer delivery of some information by today, then they did follow through to...
