Detectives conducted interviews, collected evidence at the scene, and sought public tips. Investigators identified several persons of interest and brought them in for questioning; arrests were made in connection with the killing. Prosecutors encountered problems securing a conviction because investigators lacked definitive proof directly linking the suspects to the homicide, and the case remains open.
