I think both. If we gain the family's trust they might open up to one/some of us. If we gain the cops' trust then we might get access to open cases etc.

Police don't withhold information but, in certain cases, may hold some things back in order to confirm guilt in case someone falsely confesses or if it would affect an investigation. It seems to me that due to the fear of the authorities in this situation the Chief Detective thinks we citizens might succeed where the police can't.

well, I sent an email to the detective. I can't believe how much information there is already to wade through, but this looks very interesting and I have always wanted to be the good samaritan.

Update: The Detective blogged again in code. The title "We may have a rodent problem " is the decode hint:

Update on the Lopez Family's FB. Anita's comment makes me think she has a blog or something, although I haven't found anything after a brief search.

For some reason I feel the Detective is a "bad guy"

And maybe it was him who showed up at the lopez house and tried to scare Tomas into telling him what he knew.

I think HE is the rat!

Plus the pumpkin patch picture is from freefoto.com

Edit: could someone who has a FB account ask them directly what is going on and if there is anything we can help with? Tell them that we won't go to the police we just want to support them in anyway we can.

((Trusting strangers on the internet somehow seems like a good idea to people.

I don't think this is going to go anywhere unless we get them to talk))

Wordpress: I think there may be some dirty cops on the beat. Maybe some cops working for the crime bosses?

Facebook: Allie Flanary make a comment on the Lopez board. Is this one of us? Or a new character? They're listed out of Portland. They wrote:
