They couldn't have gotten a sketch going? by this time? No height, build description?

Really disappointed in the Alexandria PD.

OMG seriously are you inside my head, I just said the same thing. Press asked great questions, police and mayor gave a straight answer to none of them.

I went jogging on the Mount Vernon Trail this morning, and 1 out of every 3 people was an older white male with a beard. They really need to get more specific.

I understand the need for sensitivity for the victim's family, but I think public safety is of imminent concern - time is critical, and they need to get more details ASAP.

Omg that news conference didn't help me feel any better.

This news conference is actually making me even more worried than I was before.

hmm i'm on mt vernon ave and i don't see any police or helicopters? i'll turn on the scanner

Rumors in neighborhood of racing police cars and helicopters, particularly in Del Ray which is not where they were focusing yesterday.

I really, really hope they make an arrest, or I'm going to start to lose faith with the Alexandria Police Department. As others have pointed out, we have had two deaths of community leaders IN THEIR HOMES in the last few years, and the police do not appear to be close to making an arrest in the Nancy Dunning or Ron Kirby.
It's like if they don't have the killer caught holding the gun, they can't close a murder case.

It's sad that we live in a world where we have to be scared to open our door.

This is why I never open my door. I always look out the window first to see who it is. Ugh.

Nancy Dunning was married to the sheriff (at the time), Ruthanne Lodato is the daughter of a prominent judge..does Ron Kirby have any direct/indirect connection to the criminal justice system?

NBC4 also reported that her father, a prominent judge, died years ago.

Ok, so? If the suspect was someone who had been sentenced by the judge (say, 30 years ago), they could still be holding a grudge even if the judge passed away years ago.

Lodato's brother is a retired judge as well.

Just another piece of info that her father is no longer living. Was not implying anything else.

press conference scheduled for 1:30pm.."Chief Cook will give brief synopsis of investigation & Mayor Euille will issue statement"

I hope they can find the person who did this. It's very scary!
