Just thought I'd comment on an earlier post about why the blue barrell/rectangular box issue is just surfacing now. I heard something interesting the other day: its not that the Bolingbrook Police are inept; they've been on this for at least a few weeks. The fact that you're hearing about it now in the media is something that can be traced back to the DA/Prosecutor's office. In high profile cases, (think OJ, & Scott Peterson), the Prosecutor's office will usually begin to slowly "leak" information out into the media to begin the process of tainting any future jury that might be assembled in a trial. The worse and more guilty they make Drew Peterson appear today (and on a daily basis) with information that incriminates him (even if its just circumstancial), the easier it will be to get a conviction during the trial. The media has such a broad reach that it'll be nearly impossible for anyone to be on the jury who hasn't heard the same stuff that we're all hearing today.
