Is the date for this article correct? (8/1/12) The link for it has not appeared in the other articles until recently IMO. Also, there is only one previous comment, dated early this morning.

Thanks for the update. See comment posted in main article dated 7/25/12 (link above).

Have a good weekend.

this is pathetic...what is most pathetic is having the police not put out the name and picture of the "alleged" killer Then, MORE PATHETIC, MONEY DRIVEN POLICE FORCE TACTIC, put out a measly $5000. reward OVER THREE WEEKS AFTER! !!

Labor Day will mark the two-month "anniversary" of the hit-and-run in Water Mill.

TWO SOLID MONTHS AND WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT?

The pregnant silence from the authorities continues to grow.
