Asha Veil, the community's thoughts, and the McClish trial

As I've said in the past, I know and very much appreciate the fact that many members of my community have come to this blog, looking for information about the Asha Veil murder case and the Michael McClish sexual assault trial. McClish's trial was supposed to start today, but I have heard nothing about it at all in the media.

I did find a message board today that is full of speculation about Asha Veil, Michael McClish, and Asha's murder, and, though I decided to post it as a link here, I want to caution the readers of this blog that no one has been charged in the murder, and that a suspect could, in theory, still be at large. I wanted to show that people in my community are frustrated about this case, they are angry, they have no answers as to what is happening, and when a community is kept in the dark, as we have been, people end up speculating and tossing around different theories and ideas as to what happened.

I added the link in about the middle of the message thread, but all the pages can be accessed (it should be obvious on the message board).

As I have promised, I will post whatever information I get about this case. It saddens me that the public seems faced with a brick wall in terms of answers and new information. I am as frustrated as everyone else, it seems.

I feel as if one of my "jobs" as a blogger is to help keep this case visible, and so I will. I also want to thank everyone for your patience with me--I'm not a crimeblogger; I simply want to do what I can to keep this unsolved case in the public eye.
