      Well, only one of those links was updated since about the 12th. Maybe they mean the lack of follow up coverage.

        Exactly. They annouced his death, but have they followed up with anything since?

            People are really surprised it takes more than two weeks for a potential murder investigation?

              Wild speculation on the internet should be law enforcement’s first tool. Now where can I go for a slice of pizza and a cold glass of toddler blood? Any ideas?

      alao, the stock holders neither want doors falling off, nor people getting suicided, because that tanks the stock and the dividends indirectly via the companies profits
