First and foremost I'd like to extend my condolences to The Gram family...However It makes me really upset that this news is just hitting the newspaper, I feel as though because he was a white male that maybe people made it seem as though he wasn't important. I mean come on people this guy was found on Wednesday this should have been in the paper on Wednesday....I mean people go away and come back to visit and they don't return to their hometown safely please we need to pray for peace in our world because alot of people have too much malice in their hearts.

But is this story getting buried because the victim is white?

I want to say that I work with Ken's sister Danielle Gram as a board member of Kids For Peace (www.kidsforpeaceusa.org)and although I didn't know Ken, I do know that he was an amazing spirit. We are all truly saddened by this news here in California and on behalf of Kids For Peace members everywhere we send our message of peace throughout the world in honor of Ken and his fine family.

what took so long? - 2009-11-20 16:11:20

I am very surprised that a violent murder was committed in Annapolis and it took the Capital (at least online) 2 days to report this...Isn't the whole point of having a web page to report breaking news?

And how many murders have there been in Annapolis this year? More information, please!

My condolences to to Mr. Gram's family - he sounded like a lovely person. What a shame!
