22-year-old visitor found dead in c - 2009-11-19 08:42:26
Why is this not front page material? Why is it tucked away in the Arundel Digest? If the Police don't know why the body was there, aren't they looking for information? Shouldn't this be more visible to the public so they can solicit that information? I rode up to this scene on my bike around 4:45AM and saw the body. The police had the area taped off. It was very disturbing, especially because I live in the neighborhood nearby. I think everyone wants answers, and it's up to the media to ask for information.
