I think most of us were suspecting a domestic dispute (I certainly was), but it was a father and son. No word on who killed who.

From the article you posted:

The identities of the victims are being withheld, based on claims that releasing them could jeopardize the investigation.

Why in the heck did they go camping together.

Could have been male bonding, hoping time alone in the wilderness would be good for their relationship, and then it wasn't, IMO.

You know, ordinarily I would scoff at such a statement, but I just read an article about the Jason Landry case that spent some time discussing the impact of social media and ‘amateur detectives’ on investigations (good and bad).

So I wonder if this is less about being secretive and more about preserving some space in the case; privacy for the family, investigative time for LE before releasing the internet-kraken. And whether we’ll start to see more of this type of bare-bones reporting in the future.
