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.
