It is time for you to quit barking up the wrong tree.
Excuse me?
Two small questions: How did they know the murderer, that just committed a double murder, who was on the loose and armed, was not just 4 buildings away, holding hostages at gun point?
How did they know, that there were not other victims, bodies, or others injured just 5 buildings away?
How did they know this?
Bodies piled up everywhere.
Everyone has a cell phone. VT is the most wired town in the US, based on percentile.
That is official, unless it has changed within the last couple of years.
Bodies piled up everywhere and no one is going to find out about it unless he goes door to door and looks behind every piece of furniture and under every bed?
Have you never had a murder in your town?
Did the cops come to your house to be sure you did not have bodies piled up in the basement?
Get real
