How can you not read this and just see it's a huge puff piece for Flock. As far as I can read from the first article and reports they were not pivotal in tracking down the killer. It was once again only someone else who knew that person and came forward, exactly the same as Tyler Robison case
"Phil Helsel Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said a person who had information about the suspect played a crucial role in the case."
The police state in the article it was helpful in linking the crimes. What evidence do you have to contradict their testimony?
The commentor you are replying to is likely in support of Flock.
