A tragic familial murder. Terrible for the family. No threat to the community. On the other hand, the group home gangsta that we brought into our community to eventually murder one of our town's children, that's a threat. I re-submit this question that was put forth to you editors a week ago by a concerned parent. You would do well to answer it.

I heard that the 15 year old boy being held for Rylan's murdered was released? Could you find out if this is true or not? My daughter was very upset when she heard this and I would like to reassure her with the truth.

We are aware of the question regarding the suspect in the Rylan Fuchs murder and we are working on that story. As soon as we have confirmation on the situation we will post a story.

It's very sad what the love of money will lead some people to do. He murdered his parents over money. No words to describe this crime other than...sad.
