Kyle Huff Story In The NYT

It's a little tough to admit that we're experiencing some Huff Fatigue at Seattlest HQ. This is Seattle's big story from the past several months, though - When newspaper's outside of the city mention us it's almost guaranteed to be in the context of some mass murderer story, which, frankly gets a little old when you have so much other stuff going on that might be of news value to the rest of the world. Until something else sensational happens, however, we're Seattle: Home of Huff.

We came across a New York Times bit on the investigation that probably would have played a lot better had it been published before the dumb note was found and wrapped everything up in the most boring "so that's it?" way possible.

From the NYT:

But with the victims buried and the killings solved beyond a doubt, there seemed little for the police to do. A city was left with its grief, and with a muddle for a motive.

"There were detectives here who said, 'Hey, Chief, it's over — let's move on,' " said R. Gil Kerlikowske, the Seattle police chief.

But instead of closing the book, Chief Kerlikowske took the rare step days after the killings of hiring James Alan Fox, the Lipman Family professor of criminal justice at Northeastern University in Boston.
