8 Years... and counting

 An old quip says: “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.” Is that what the Chapel Hill Police Dept. has in mind when they refuse year-after-year-after-year to comment substantively on (or answer questions about) Faith's brutal death, other than to claim, against all public perception, that it is not a cold case.

Unthinkably, this case, chock-full of evidence and clues has now passed the 8-year mark without solution, and with no sense of a break in the case coming any time soon. How many of Faith’s friends, family, and loved ones, will themselves be deceased by the time any progress is shown in the case; by the time, if ever, her killer is brought to justice? How many are doomed to pass from this Earth with the frustration and emptiness of not knowing what happened to Faith and why? Eight years and counting…. incredible.

As most know who have followed this crime, Discovery ID covered the case once again a few days ago. For any who missed the showing a reader here sends along these links that should work for you:

some followup:

...nothing much new in all of this, but helps keep this baffling (seemingly cold) case alive in the public eye.
Meanwhile, genetic genealogy, slowly expanding the number of trained practitioners, continues to solve crimes on a near weekly basis, though mostly decades-old cold cases. When it might get around to a crime not even 8 years old yet (8-yr. anniversary coming this September), I don't know yet.
