Officer is alert and talking.
Hey, to those of you who are discouraged. I can't help but compare most murder cases I follow to my classmate's. It took them six months to make an arrest. It was one of the very earliest murders in which DNA was used. It's funny to read the article about it now, because it describes it as a "controversial new test." Which sounds nuts now, because DNA is a household word! Anyway, they used profiling, which is all you have until you get a DNA match. DNA is only useful if the perp is in the data base, or if you can use old fashioned detective work to show probable cause to a judge then you can get a DNA sample from a suspect with a warrant. Otherwise, gallons of DNA are useless.
Anyway, they took 6 months, used old fashioned profiling, and finally arrested him, and then, sure enough, the DNA matched.
But there are plenty of unsolved cases out there with DNA alllll over them. Sometimes two unsolved ones match each other, but that still doesn't solve it, unless they can use detective work and profiling to figure out who it belongs to.
Someone already said Sommer Thompson took 5 months. Lets give them a chance to figure it out.
Also, whenever I think LE is being coy, I remember Falcon Heene the Balloon Boy in Colorado, the sherrif told the press over and over again that the parents weren't suspicious . until he, caught them in plenty of lies, by gaining their trust, and then he arrested them. Not that I'm pointing to her parents. My point is, LE are capable of deliberately misleading the perp and the press and the public. If it suits their strategy.
Oh no. Officer in critical condition?
He must have dumped her from his red station wagon.

Tuesday, Jul 23, 2013 | Updated 10:49 AM CDTAn officer has been shot while serving an arrest warrant for a teen suspected of the murder of Alanna Gallagher.
Law enforcement sources tell NBC 5 police went to the home of Tyler Holder, a teenager who lives a few houses down from Alanna Gallagher.
Law enforcement sources say Holder came to the front door with a gun in his waistband, pulled it out, and opened fire at the officers.
Holder was shot in the head and his condition is unknown.
Who has gloves lying around?
I have them for gardening and cold weather. But those would leave evidence.
I am thinking of medical type gloves as the only kind that would not give much information
Tyler is in the background speaking with LE in this interview video from July 2nd. He left soon after for vacation? And LE returned later to retrieve materials in the video with him at his car.
In this video link from JULY 2ND, there is police tape around his home too.

The overall silence suggests to me they know who did it or why not up the reward?
