    Why do you need to hear from the public when you already heard from where the incident took place and by whom was there the family. Just because they are trying to cover up and protect the murderer. You guys just walk away. Wow no wonder why so many people lie.

      Amazing. You have to disrespect a grieving family to float a Lancaster/Rex dig? You Sir are the problem here! It’s sad to see this board slow down over agenda wolves. Worst part is, it’s easy to dis Lancaster/Rex without disrespecting peoples family member’s.
      Please crawl back into your hole and decompose.
