In the few days it's taken me to write about this on my blog— it usually takes me a few days to catch up because I really hate writing about this epidemic of tragedies half our political leaders absolutely refuse to do anything meaningful about— more facts have come out about the murderer.

Example coverage: CBS News article, 9 May 2023.
