If this case is based on that grainy photo of a truck driving down the street from 300' away, then I'm going to wonder if they've got the right guy. If they have a wood chipper with DNA, then I'm going to figure they have the right guy.

All that matter is that the police, prosecutors, defense lawyers and likely the family know all the details. The people who need to know, know. I agree with Pylon, the public doesn't need to know. My own curiosity wants to have questions answered, but I'm sure the family doesn't want the details plastered online for all to see. I know I wouldn't if it was my family involved.
I don't always agree with publication bans. But in this case I understand why. The entire city was caught up in this case and it's going to be tough to find an impartial jury. Releasing the information satisfies our need for curiosity for a couple minutes, then we all forget about it and life goes on. But for the family, that means those details will always be out there for the rest of time and it would be heartbreaking to have to relive those details over and over by randomly coming across them.
