My hope is that the images of the suspect vehicle released in the news will eventually lead to someone who can connect thew dots and ensure authorities get the information they need. These situations tend to resolve because the community remains vigilant until all the facts become clear. Once that happens, steps can be taken to do right by victim’s loved ones. In the meantime, anyone who knows more should come forward with that information and do whatever they can to help those affected by this horrible event.
