He further referred additional comments to the public relations officer, Don Rose, who stated this was an ongoing investigation and was not going to disclose any information about the victim, the manner of the homicide nor any kind of description about a suspect.
PoliceAbuse.com has found possible departmental misconduct regarding the way the murder investigation is being handled. An investigation is being conducted concerning why the sheriff’s department is failing to release information to the public about any possible suspect description that could produce tips from a community who wishes to see justice and closure on a 25 year murder of a teenager.
