The Tribune and the Police really need to do better. They're soliciting help from anyone who may have been a witness or seen anything unusual but they will not disclose exactly where on Prospect Ridge this hit and run occurred.

Anyone who may have been in the exact area at the time might be more inclined to recast their memory to the occasion and reflect on what they may have seen or noticed. That's just human nature.
