If we could just be advised of the status of the investigation and have the obstacles to it's resolution explained, then I think we could at least understand why it is as it is. I understand that not all crimes get solved, but this one seems like an easy one, and apparently experienced investigators who have contributed to this thread agree. I admit that it seems easy to me because there may be information or circumstances of which I am unaware.

VHA and POA, if you're listening, how about focusing one of your monthly meetings on this issue? Invite the Sheriff, District Manager Tutt, members of the various Boards of Supervisors, Chairman Hahnfeldt, a representative from the Developer, residents of the Village in question, a representative from the agency that levied the fine, experienced criminal investigators, or any combination of those or others who might have something significant to contribute to participate in a panel discussion to report to the public and answer questions from the public. I completely understand that, due to the needs of the investigation, lack of credible information, and the desire to avoid liability, they might not be able to answer all questions, but at least telling us that gives us insight, and would make many of us feel better about the way it has been, and is being handled.

Would anyone else like see this happen?

No.
