Thanks for the update Kathee! This is great news. I wonder why no presser till 6:30pm though?

 

[Kathee]

It's a Saturday, most newsrooms have a skeleton staff on the weekend. Plus, most of the major stations and newspapers are at least two hours away.

I'm so glad they arrested someone. I know it's kind of bad to say, but since it's such a small town, I didn't think they would be able to solve it, due to man power, technology, etc. I think I read on City-Data that there are only 3 officers in the town.

Please do. I have a cranky old and unreliable computer that can go down at anytime.

DNA evidence, motive = robbery, they have reason to believe at least 1+ other suspects on the run

 

[kittenish]

they have a suspect awaiting extradition, didn't hear from where

From Iowa? Robert Morton? 911 call had something to do with this.

I'm delusional, I heard Iowa, and Canada.

Idk why I thought I heard Canada, and figured I heard wrong, so I didn't want to post it.

I was like "whattt? there's an iowa in Canada too?" lol

Well I'm sure we would have heard more if the anchors would have shut up.

I'm sure it won't take long before we find out who these other people are. Now that they have some good evidence on this first guy, he might give them up for a deal.

I don't think he deserves one, but I'd rather not have other murderers/robbers running loose.
