These searches and warrants still have not produced any of us non-LE a pot to p*&% in. It just isn't normal to be this quiet and this uninformed, or do I read too much patterson and watch too much csi???
BBM. Yes. And yes.
LE just holding what they have close to protect their eventual case. I think they've learned from past mistakes, and it's rampant everywhere. Two other cases in particular come to mind, I guess because I am also following them.
Susan Cox (Powell, though I despise attaching that name to her). Lots of us going nuts wishing LE would let us know what they have. They haven't handed out a thing since she went missing, or at least since Joshie boy clammed up and ran home to daddykins.
Mackenzie Cowell. A bit more has come out in her case, but mostly because her body was found a few days after she went missing, and by Joe Blow out for a walk. But still mostly local rumor mill chewing it over and wishing for more information.
In this case, I think CC has given them an absolute WEALTH of stuff to float their boat. Probably so much they are slobbering over themselves. Certainly enough to get him into prison and held on unrelated (or not) weapons charge, and use his past recorded history to make that prison hold stick, for now at least. Those charging papers had far more about his recent past than just "he's a felon known to have bought a gun."
If CC isn't talking, or at least not telling them the truth, it may well come down to either forensics or somebody stumbling over a body inadvertently, if we presume worst case scenario.
Forensics in ID are going to take a good long while. Even in WA, unless you shoot a Seattle cop, there simply is no 24-48 hour turnaround from the crime labs. Where is Idaho's? Boise maybe? Or do we even have our own?
Regardless, when they have the cold hard evidence and can make a case stick and more charges are filed, that's when we'll hear. Meantime I'd be shocked if LE did more than throw out the occasional bone, and that most likely will come in the form of asking the public for information. If they have even done that thus far, I seem to have missed it.
I trust they are working this. And want VERY much to keep CC behind bars to buy them investigation time. Harder for them if he pulls a cut-and-run like Powell did. He already announced he had planned to sell and move to AZ.
LE ain't stupid enough to let the timing on that call to Fapone be written off as coincidence.
patience, Grasshopper, patience. Much speculation ensues meantime.
