I never put stock in media hysteria over a case such as this. In fact, I avoid it because... ever notice how everyone's assumed guilty before they are even tried? It may make for higher ratings, but this is wrong, no matter how much evidence the media claims to have. If the guilty can't get a fair trial, neither can you. That's how it works. And it's necessary to keep the government honest, make them prove their case... because it is the government, after all, that's trying to put you away.

Sometimes the best place to hide is in plain site.
The body of Chandra Levy went months hidden from a very active paved park path about 50 yards away.
And the body was underwater for months, hidden from view.
Authorities also said the body was dumped shortly after the slaying.
The sheriff's spokesman also made a surprise announcement that the utility worker who reported finding the remains last week also made calls to authorities on three days in August.
It was not immediately known what he reported. Nieves said his agency was investigating how those reports were handled. Nieves said a deputy was sent to the scene in August to follow up on the tip.
Orange County Sheriff's officials will hold a press conference this afternoon at the sight where a body of a young child was found a week ago.
During the press conference, a sheriff's office spokesperson said that the utility worker who discovered child skeletal remains last week had also contacted authorities on Aug. 11, 12 and 13, to provide tips in the case. An Orange County Sheriff's deputy followed up on the Aug. 13 tip and responded to the scene – the scene where the remains were found last Thursday – however, it remains unclear what if anything he did there.
"There was a window of opportunity possibly. We had a deputy respond to this area on August 13," the spokesperson said. "We are currently trying to determine the situation of that response to determine what the deputy did on scene at that time with the tipster that he received the information from and we continue to be as thorough as possible to determine the circumstances of that on that afternoon.
Crime"The tip that was received on August 13 was the same individual that reported the findings on December 11.
It was the same individual that called into the communications center and called us this past Thursday that made the discovery.
"We have three tips from that individual. We are trying to determine the circumstances and the thoroughness of the deputy that responded that day and will continue to do so in the coming days."
The utility worker initially told authorities that he discovered the remains when he stepped into the weeds to relieve himself by Chickasaw Trail and Suburban Drive in Orlando; however now authorities believe that he had returned to the scene out of curiosity.
