This blog has been sputtering along since the mention of a possible "new suspect" in the Stacey Burns murder case. The primary reason for this lack of momentum in the blog is really quite simple. There has been no additional information forthcoming from any of my sources.
I have been reading sections of the manuscript of Murder in a Small Town: The Tragic Death of Stacey Burns to the Green Valley Writers Forum, a critique group of talented writers in our area of Arizona. The response of that group has been positive, with the consensus being that this book definitely should be published. However, without input from several crucial people, I feel that the story would have a bias which would effectively destroy the integrity of the book. So, I make a plea that has been made before in this blog.
My revised list of people I'd like to ask just two questions now stands at thirteen. The list could be shortened considerably if any of the NH State Police investigators would allow me to ask them the twenty six questions as I'm sure they must already have the information. Surely, they would have asked these same questions during their open and ongoing investigation which I'm certain continues even now, forty three months later.
The dilemma I am facing right now is this: Should I begin publishing what I've done so far since there truly does not seem that any resolution is imminent?
By the way, I still have that "disturbing information" that possibly could impact the murder case of Stacey Burns and would love to have NH State Police tell me that they have already dismissed it as not valid. All it would take is a return e-mail or phone call from someone in authority.
My Christmas wish? Please, New Hampshire, solve this case for the sake of Stacey and her family!

Summary of New Developments
My sincere apologies go out to all followers of this blog. The usual busyness of the season somehow managed to trump my best intentions to keep you informed of any new developments in my work on the book about the Stacey Burns murder case. Since there has not been a single new development, I will summarize where this case appears to be. If anyone out there disagrees with any part of this summary, I would love to hear from you! Here are my observations and a few questions:
1. Can it be denied that this case has moved from an "ongoing investigation" to a "cold case" with all the connotations that the cold case designation carries with it? Over one month ago, I contacted the New Hampshire State Police cold case detective via e-mail saying that I had received some "disturbing information" that may have some bearing on the murder of Stacey Burns. As mentioned in a previous blog, there was no response then and to date there has not been a response. I suppose the fault lies with me as I possibly could be more aggressive.
2. In less than five months, the fourth anniversary of the murder of Stacey Burns will be observed. As someone has said, where is the outrage that a resolution of this case has not occurred? It has been over seven months since the march in Stacey's honor supposedly applied pressure on Concord to solve this horrendous crime. I, for one, would love to hear exactly what has happened in those seven months. I've spoken with several people in Wolfeboro who had a close relationship with Stacey Burns and would seem logical candidates for a visit by cold case detectives trying to unearth new information. However, as far as I can determine, there has been only one person reinterviewed in that time. Any number of conclusions might be drawn from this if indeed my information is correct. You may draw your own but I'd surely like to hear from all of you out there with connections to Stacey Burns who have been interviewed, even in the last year.
3. It is a cliche but a true one that with each day that passes by, the chances of bringing this psychopathic killer to justice diminish. Hopefully, the anger and frustration and disappointment of family and friends continue unabated. If these emotions should diminish even slightly, where is the hope that we will ever see Stacey's heartless killer in a courtroom?
4. This is the 67th blog since June on this topic. I honestly do not know if I am helping or hurting by trying to keep this investigation alive. While there are people who still express a willingness to support my project, I also find some who, without saying so directly, would rather that I back off. My reasons for doing this work have been explained repeatly and I will not be "backing off" in the immediate future.
