The nature of this crime is that it simply could not have gone unobserved and/or unheard (chain saws were used). Furthermore only a few could have benefitted from it in that unobstructed views of Lake Miona for a few properties resulted. It was not a random act. It was planned and carried out with malice aforethought. Although there may or may not have been a conspiracy in preparing to commit the crime failure to let authorities know criminal acts that one observes or knows about can cause one to become an accessory after the fact. http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/accessory_after_the_fact
