I don't have the answer you are seeking, but I sort of operate under the blanket assumption that "we're all doing the best we can with the resources we have."

That includes information -- including information whose existence needs to be kept private.

@Joshua Newvilleis not a journalist or a web sleuth. Rather, he is a civil litigation attorney who's worked on some of the most consequential issues of our current era, and who often represents clients facing long odds to achieve justice. That is more than a full-time job.

One benefit of that is that he can call BS on law enforcement to a degree that journalists cannot when LE attempts to keep information private. And, act responsibly when such a request is appropriate.

Stearns County LE may not have earned the benefit of the doubt, but Josh N certainly has and I urge everyone to recognize the giant contribution he's already made (at significant opportunity cost).

I trust we'll get the appropriate information when the time is right.
