The eatery had closed for the day and the father of three adult sons was alone when he was killed, according to authorities.

It is possible the POIs were in transit and, if involved, opportunistic, in my opinion only. I doubt they stuck around. The clarity of the pictures should help anyone who knows them to identify them. I hope someone sees them and do. Justice delayed is still Justice once achieved. Prayers for peace for the Ezzedine family.

I agree they might have been passing through the area but Route 46, where the crime occurred is a highway more commonly used by locals. My gut says that the perpetrator was headed either to Dover or Morristown. I believe the POI was filmed in a convenience store west of the diner, prior to the murder, which would indicate he was headed east.

I grew up about a mile from this former diner. My parents still live in the area and I pass the place on a regular basis. This happened on Memorial Day weekend, on a busy road, with several businesses in the immediate area.

I know some of the officers that worked this original scene and I know in my heart that they will continue to put their best efforts in until it is solved.

The diner has since been sold and is now a different restaurant.

I believe the two people whose photos were released earlier in this case were not "suspects" they were persons of interest because they were in the area at the time. I know one has been reportedly identified, not sure about the second.

The final plea comes from the family who lost a grandfather, father and husband.

"I remember being scared. I mean, our father had just been murdered," Samer Abou-Ezzeddine said. "I'm sure you've heard this, Alice, like, it doesn't happen to me, couldn't possibly happen to you. That notion has been dispelled."

Ezzeddine's family now checks in on each other frequently throughout the day.

"My mother deserves some closure, and the brutality of how it happened... It's not right on any level," Walid Abou-Ezzeddine said.

a few years ago CBS did a follow up and the Prosecutor sounded confident they were making progress, I hope that they are still working towards an arrest
