Actually I was in the newspaper business for a long time. You are correct, it's not a charity and news outlets do respond to what the public wants to consume. If the public weren't clicking, the stories would dwindle. I know many very thoughtful, ethical, principled journalists who do their...

Agree, there is no need for that.

I think it's more social media that has been reprehensible regarding this case, not the legitimate, professional media.

I'm watching Sky and they are replaying the reading of the statement in full, right now.

I agree, somethingwilldo. Their ire is understandable but perhaps waiting until NB is laid to rest might have been more prudent. Like the police press conference the other day, it was a lashing out. Those poor kids. I can't imagine breaking it to them.

I was thinking the same, this morning, pineapple. The river is such a lovely feature of the community but it will never be the same for then. So tragic.

I don't disagree with the family's statement, but I think it was inappropriate for a public official on duty to read it out. Public agencies shouldn't be adversarial toward the free press, unless members of the media were actually breaking laws. It should have been issued via a family...

I wondered about the meeting as well; as she's in the mortgage business and with rising interest rates/economic issues, home sales are slowing, etc., perhaps there were negative updates about sales targets, layoffs, who knows what?

I'm 59, so no stranger to hormonal fluctuations. :)

I see what you are saying but ... literally 20 minutes before she had been engaging with passersby, logging into a Teams call, etc. -- it's difficult to see how one could swing from ordinary everyday routine (removing dog harness in field, etc.) to completely irrational and uncaring about the...

I still can't get over the brief period of time between the last sighting, and the passersby finding her dog/phone.

Hi all, Just chiming in to say I finally watched the YouTube video and to me there is no question that it's a young male. Every gesture and mannerism, to me, says "young man" from the way the elevator button is slapped to the gait(s) to the way the hand is held in front of the face. A chubby...

Hi, Hope it's OK to post this here: Robert O. Marshall, husband of the murdered Maria Marshall and subject of the "Blind Faith" book and mini-series, died in prison the other day...

I just feel sorry for him having such intimate items / proclivities exposed to the world, and to his family. How ghastly to lose all privacy like that.

Wow, good point -- isn't parallel parking about the last thing a new driver worries about? Although ... these are apparently "car people" and perhaps the girl has been learning to drive for some time? Permit or no. I have to admit my dad, who was involved with the auto industry and liked...

It's not just you! Any normal person who'd had a loved one killed and knew where the killer was, would be breaking a leg to tell LE. This is the fishiest case I have seen in a long, long time. And I am still not convinced that EN and whatever posse he was with were the instigators. I hope it...

I'm at work but just caught a minute of CNN via sat radio online account and Jake Tapper was still bemoaning something like "why we should all be careful about road rage..." -- what on earth? It's pretty apparent now this was not a random road rage incident, why do they keep beating that drum...

I don't know why this case is gripping me so much. In part I think it's annoyance with the MSM which tends to latch onto a narrative they like ("mom of 4 killed by road rager" was the first CNN banner I saw) and then fail to correct themselves when the facts begin to emerge and the story line...

By all indications the family was very into cars and the car enthusiasts I know can tell a Camry from an Accord from a Fusion practically with their eyes closed, let alone identify more exotic vehicles. It's just instinctive in them to notice the brand ID. So it does seem odd that between the...

Lilacstarz, I have been wondering the same thing. In my ordinary middle-class neighborhood you can barely take a recycling bin to the curb without curious people peering out from behind curtains, let alone have cars roaring in and out of driveways, car doors slamming, shots fired etc. -- seems...
