Arrest imminent? (Or next year!)

Hearsay, rumor and yes, even blatant gossip are indeed dangerous weapons in the arsenal of human folly.
Here are just a few of the thoughts I've heard expressed concerning the Stacey Burns case. Some are new but a few may be repeats of past postings. (Quotation marks are mine, used only to highlight the content..)
     "An arrest is imminent." Imminent by definition means impending, likely to happen without delay. Unfortunately, I first heard this about two years ago.
     "This case will never get to trial-there are important people who do not want the publicity from a trial." So, the NH State Police have spent who knows how much money and effort on this case already only to have it squelched? I would guess probably not ( and would desperately hope this is not the case)
     "There really is only one suspect in this case." We get to take our pick of whom we would place into this category.
     "The public is in no danger." The prosecutor from the Attorney General's office announced this so it must be true and everyone can relax. (Guess what? There are people who remain concerned, worried and probably afraid despite this calming reassurance.)
     "There is a dark side to the quiet, friendly and bucolic town of Wolfeboro and this case proves it." All this case proves is that there is one very sick individual who remains free to live his/her life. Perhaps a trial might expose the "dark side" but that remains to be seen. Luckily, "an arrest is imminent."
     "The police know without a doubt who did it." This is the old probable cause versus beyond a reasonable doubt dilemma. More likely, the police know without a doubt that they think they know who did it. As the old cliche goes, "show me the money" or, in this case, show me the killer.
I'll stop here but I sure would like to hear more of the facts which are out there but I'd settle for a few more of those much  more interesting rumors.
