MESSAGE TO JOSH, YOUR PARTNERS AND ALL NEWCOMBERS
I'll keep this short and simple: Save all of yourselves a great deal of aggravation and DON'T TRUST what you read in papers or hear in the old news broadcasts about this case. QUESTION EVERY detail because this case was covered by some of the most lazy, relaxed and botchy media coverage that any case has ever experienced.
JUST BECAUSE YOU READ IT IN PRINT DOESN'T = TRUTH!!
The NY Post, Which isn't even a local paper, printed some of the worse UNCONFIRMED statements about this case that other media organizations have gone on to reprint as facts. Next thing you know, we have over a dozen reputable media sources repeating WRONG INFORMATION and communicating them as FACTS to the public! Some perfect examples are the 500 feet between the GB4 AND the report that all of the GB4 were WEDGED into BURLAP. Josh, you and your partner are great but even YOU both fell into trap of including these details as well as many others into your A&E show special and stating them as FACTS of this case when you DIDN'T confirm them yourself. IF the DETECTIVES who are investigating this case don't give you the info directly as FACTS then you MUST question each detail. Don't make any ASSUMPTIONS and whatever you do, DON'T trust what you read in the old media coverage of this case because much of it is false.
