FOIA is for release of Federal Agency info and would not apply in this case, however most states have an equivalent Public Records Release Act. Counties and Cities also have their equivalents as well in most cases. The best bet is to just keep this thing at the top of the list for everyone who is involved from the media to the police to the med examiner to child welfare and anyone else who is involved in the investigation. They need to be made aware that until answers are provided the domestic ferret community at large is not going to go away. Putorius [Posted in FML 6953]
