It's time for the media to step up & demand the rest of the discovery by threatening a lawsuit! This is ridiculous after all this time that so much is still under seal! Where's the body cams, interrogation interview, additional video surveillance?? Where does the TRO stand that some of the victims families have filed now that the attorney for the city of Moscow has resigned?? What is Judge Megan Marshall doing? She's had more than enough time to make her decision. Judge Hippler has also had enough time to redact what he feels is needed! There is so much the public has not seen. No one wants the rehashing over & over again of old info! Release everything & MSM should be demanding this & putting pressure on!

If so many people knew he was a creeper, I have to wonder why more people didn't alert law enforcement to his behavior after the King road incident. This guy only lived a few miles away.

Amazing how government covers up details of those murders and autopsies were delayed. Steve has been such a great advocate, God bless him. There is no wonder why so many of us question the system. Idaho let those families down.
