[quote=Anonymous]Sorry for your loss. We don't have any children in Whitman yet, but we live a few streets over from you. I think in a news article back when it happened, you stated vodka was purchased at a store on River Road. Note that in MoCo, the only place vodka can be purchased is county liquor stores, so the only ones near River Road are at Westbard (next to the Giant) and at Potomac Village. Maybe that will be of some help to narrow things down.

I think you may want to get a lawyer to pressure MCPD. My dealings with MCPD have always been good, but they do have a new chief of our local (2D) station -- Falcinelli moved on. Falcinelli was great, but I don't know about the new guy. If I had to guess, I'd say the union pressured them to close ranks, though it's a good sign they did release body camera footage instead of hiding it.

If you want a hard-charging lawyer, the one who defended the Rockville HS rape suspects (forgot his name.. can look it up if you like.. starts with a J as I recall) or even the notorious lawyer and current County Exec candidate Robin Ficker may be good as they can deal with the press well.

If you want to take a lighter approach, ,contact Bethesda Magazine (Bethesda Beat) as this story is right up their alley, and they've had some slow news days lately so they'd be eager to write up more on this and that will definitely pressure MCPD.

Keep in mind that investigations do take time. You probably remember the crash on River Road that took teh life of a Whitman student and his parents last year. It took a FOIA request  by the Washington Post to get the results of the accident investigation by CRU (collision reconstruction) -- they don't release it by default.[/quote]
