I sent Meta the link to this thread. She is a very responsible journalist and the law enforcement agencies don't cover things up. It is public record when someone is arrested. Or a police call is made.

I can't think why we haven't heard something.

But as Bogie Shooter often says; "Patience, Grasshopper".

Maybe, law enforcement is holding back on the story.
It is an ongoing investigation.
Releasing details too soon, may compromise an arrest.
I am sure we will get the scoop when the time is right.

Was it not discussed here that someone or some representative group was going to have regularly scheduled meetings/updates with Sumter police in order to obtain information on topics which would be of importance to us?

Yeah. But there is no need with the current news sources we have. There must be a reason that nothing has yet been made public and I imagine it is for the greater good. I have complete trust in our law enforcement people.

I just received a phone call from someone who said it was in Hadley and it was a rape, and the men where caught. I wish I could confirm this with a fact sheet. She got her information a hour ago from a man at the post office..I hope I am not spreading gossip.But if it is not..we should be aware.

You know, I thought perhaps that might be the case. I am hoping that the men(?) oh dear, plural?, were caught as you say..

And if we can make it easier on the victim by not knowing, then that is good.

Why do we need to be aware. The men were caught. What in life has changed??

Someone got a phone call from someone who got the information from someone at the post office - and they are concerned about possibly spreading gossip?

I thought people would like to know, this is not a newspaper. I would want to know. The person who told me was a good friend and was worried and upset. Let me be the first to say, I appreciate any information about a violent crime, I dont need to wait until the facts appear in court.

And who did your good friend here this rumor from?

She told me it was the gentleman behind her in the Oxford Post Office.

That's in Duval and fits the general location of the incident my friend was telling me about. Thank you for the update. The Duval homeowner was attacked by a solo male (race, age, etc. unknown by me).
