So, random? Stranger on stranger crime? Wow, that is so rare.

That's a sad update. I hope the lawsuit leads to change.

We can hope.

The imperative to "Preserve the integrity of an investigation" seems at times to cover a multitude of failures -- including the lack of integrity in a given investigation. What was it going to take for this guy's probation to be revoked? Home invasion and murder and life-changing injuries, I guess. Argh.

Whoa! Thanks for the update. Jamilyn pops into my thoughts with some frequency; how awful to lose your future to some random crazy person. I'm glad Travis' family has some answers, but let's face it - those are some lousy answers. Unfortunately, this is all too common (crimes committed by those who should already be in jail).

LE keeping information from family about the suspect 'to maintain the integrity of the investigation' is utterly ridiculous. The suspect was dead from suicide; how was revealing their findings going to impact the investigation? It wasn't. What is WAS going to impact, was whether or not they got sued. FAFO.
