"far too little attention is being paid to the low-life perp."
Michael J. Devlin is getting all kinds of attention in the local news. Authorities are keeping mum while they move methodically to find answers. They want to get this right and put this guy away for a long time.

Thanks for the link but there isn't anything in it about the perp.
At the very least they could state whether he has a criminal record or not, right?
