It is time to reiterate some of my own "truths" for those who have been following this blog. These are my opinions formed while working on Murder in a Small Town: The Tragic Death of Stacey Burns.
1. I began this blog with the best of intentions. Simply put, I thought it might help to keep interest in the case alive. I'm not sure if it is accomplishing that purpose.
2. Naively, I thought that people would a) be truthful, b) be enthusiastic about this project and c) be open-minded. I should have been more realistic.
3. I still feel quite strongly that the authorities could be more forthcoming without jeopardizing the investigation, thereby relieving some of the stress and frustration found in the general public.
4. I also feel quite strongly that supposed details of this crime have somehow "leaked" into public knowledge, leading to potentially damaging rumor, innuendo and speculation.
5. Finally (for today) I will say that this has, by far, been the most difficult challenge I've undertaken as a writer but I enjoying it and am determined to see it through to its conclusion.
