there was the text message. I’m sure if the police themselves had received such a text message they would be all over it.
As usual these stories leave more questions than they answer. I didn’t see where the cops actually saw a text message. I may have missed it, but I thought the story stated that couple had received a text message threat, but it didn’t say anymore about it.
Also, the legal issues surrounding a text message has already been addressed by another poster.
