> Whisper campaigns are rampant in both Rockingham and Loudon Counties about the possible fate of Beatrice Burchett. Public morale and confidence in the police are threatened at this time, due to silence and perceived lack of investigation.  
>  
> And still, a twenty-one-year-old is not in class with her peers where she belongs.
