A few people have asked that we stop bringing to your attention the lack of progress reports regarding the murder of our neighbor, Anthony De’Milo Williams, Jr., last October. Five months seems to be a very long time to receive a ballistics report and to share that this case is being diligently pursued, what do you think? Do you want us to drop Anthony from our concerns list and just let GCSO do its thing without noting the embarrassment of its silence?
