here is another short video tribute to eve carson i just found...it's only about :55 so it's short (My favorite picture is at :35).

i can't believe it's already been almost 2 months since this happend.

i was off today so i didn't cover this, but a local newspaper filed a court order to have some of the search warrants in the case unsealed. there are about 5 search warrants that police have kept sealed...of course, if they get unsealed they will then be public record. the newspaper says the public has the right to know (by public, the only thing the really care about is media...just in case you couldn't see right through that one). the DA said today that there is some info in those warrants that came from confidential sources that have been talking to police...and that the informants have already been threatened by people that if more info on the case comes out, they'll get hurt. DA wants the warrants to be sealed for 60 more days..police are still doing interviews so this is still a very active investigation.

on the 5th, there's a hearing that i'll be covering where the DA will file to have this case be a death penalty case for one of the accused, demario atwater. it's been a very long time since NC has had a death penalty case so we'll see what happens.

even now, i still think about eve carson all the time...everytime i see that memorial board on campus (it's now been painted over) and everytime i hear someone talking about the sky being carolina blue. i wonder a lot how her mom and dad are doing...i can't even wrap my mind around how they must be feeling.

when i covered her memorial service at UNC, they handed out some cards (basically programs) that had list of speakers on the inside and a picture of her on the front standing in front of the Old Well on campus with a huge smile on her face. i ended up taking on of the cards home with me and setting on my bookshelf...didn't really intend to keep it there.

but ya know what...i just can't seem to bring myself to throw it out.
