Law and Order?

February 24, 2008 1:50 AM

actually have no idea why this popped into my head tonight, but I remembered about Kelly Nolan tonight. I posted about her before here. Although her body was found six months ago, no one's been arrested yet. And that pisses me off.

I mean, we have amazing ways to determine who committed a given crime. Between DNA, fingerprints, and witnesses, you'd think it would be impossible for all but the most gifted criminals not to get caught. At least, that's what I'd like to believe. I'd like to believe that it's damn near impossible to get away with murder in this day and age. But here we are, six months later, and this woman's murder is still unsolved. That leaves me wondering whether we've got a criminal mastermind on our hands, whether the police have been dragging their feet, or whether crime is easier to get away with than I had assumed it was.

But what disturbs me more is how quickly this story stopped being a story. I mean, maybe I just haven't been paying attention to local media, but I haven't seen or heard anything about Ms. Nolan's murder in months. And that's kind of scary because, like I said in my original post, if she was murder, there's a fucking killer somewhere in Madison. That doesn't sit right with me.

Like I said, I don't know why this was on my mind. But the whole thing just sort of makes me sad.
