On a Roll

This story in the Strib credits momentum from the discovery of Dru Sjodin's body in last weekend's discovery of the remains of Erika Dahlquist.

Dahlquist was one of the four Minnesotans in their early twenties that disappeared nearly two years ago, prompting fears of a serial killer on the loose:

Still grieving but still relentless four weeks after recovering Dru Sjodin's body, her relatives and friends played a major role over the weekend in solving another haunting mystery: locating the body of Erika Dalquist.
The skeletal remains of the 21-year-old Brainerd woman, missing since she left a downtown Brainerd bar 18 months ago, were found early Saturday evening on a ranch just east of Brainerd in Nokoy Lake Township -- property owned by the grandparents of a Brainerd man who was and apparently remains the primary suspect.

Fears of a serial killer have abated over the years.

We should turn our attention to the serial negligence of the Legislature, who created the catch and release system that keeps so many of these dirtwads on the street.
