No one wants to say that the recently retired police chief (buddy of PVDS) is no longer in the way, obstructing the investigation at every turn. But I will.
Since he has no longer been in control, this case has heated up. Witnesses appear to be no longer afraid. MJ's words to Greta still echo in my ears. Paraphrasing, that the authorities will burn in hot molten lava when the truth is learned.
