Who actually determined the case was closed? The investigating agency would do that only after all efforts are exhausted unless the victim says forget about it. Can we see what has been done to this point by the investigators? Were the gate keepers questioned, what about cameras? Who was questioned? Any statements in writing and sworn? It is probably in the category of a felony.

There have been many discussions on this. Thousands and thousands of words written. Many threads.
I think everything that can be done is done, but it doesn't rule out if and when something comes to light that the district can't sue for reimbursement. That is how it looks to me.
I think if people understood a little more how a CDD worked, there would be less tension.
