Mystery deepens surrounding death of teen girl

Kathryn "Katie" Filiberti was found dead in a park the weekend of St Patrick's Day. The rumors swirled, but a quick arrest was expected. She had been at a party with many people the night before her body was found. Police have been mum on every detail since then. Unnervingly so. Releasing absolutely NO details. In fact, we do not even know if it was in fact a murder as presumed, yet the police give us assurances that the community is safe.

How exactly can the police make such assurances if they don't know who did it, or even how this young woman died? Was this a murder at all? We are not told.

The police and the Dutchess County Medical Examiner have placated the people with assurances of forthcoming information as soon as lab results were in, to finally determine the manner and cause of death. Today, the good faith of the people has been shattered with an unprecedented power-play by the Dutchess County District Attorney ordering the Medical Examiner to remain silent.

Do we even have a homicide on our hands? Are there a killer or killers at large? Is there a coverup? Is the local law purely incompetent? There are far too many questions at this point, and the silence of the officials is deafening.
