There still seems to be a lot of information here that isn’t available, so I have to wonder if authorities were ever able to get clear answers for the victims and families involved behind the scenes. It can surprise folks to learn how sometimes authorities only ever get as much information as the little they release to the public. This can take families by surprise when they’re waiting around for answers only to find themselves empty-handed weeks or months later. That’s why there’s a generally good rule of thumb to consider. If folks feel their concerns are being addressed, and answer from authorities are all sensible, then it’s likely that authorities are conducting good, thorough investigations. But if things aren’t adding up or if people feel they’re not getting the answers they deserve, that may be a time to consider other avenues through which they can get some closure.
