I doubt that it is as simple as all that. Roanoke is still a small town. You're dealing
with a local paper, not the New York Post or Daily News, it is most likely they toned down
their report rather than playing up the more sensational aspects of the case to spare the
local populaces's sensibilities. In which case you have to read between the lines it seems
to me they were hinting that local police were able to piece together a very bizarre scene.
There is another possibility, if as Greywolf says Shell was producing "pornography", real
or imagined the local prosecutor may be out to make Roanoke "safe for God Fearing people".

Weird laws. So if X gets a girl in his house, takes her photos, then they have sex, then the girl takes Valium, goes to bed and dies in sleep, X is a criminal ?


A strong reason for me to keep photographing flowers ;-)
