One Response to Robert Furnish

  1. Patrck Kerrigan says:

    Again, law enforcement has not shared the basics of who, what, where when, or how. Where was he when he was murdered? How was he murdered? What was the time of the incident?. This incident took place almost 22 years ago. Yet, they might be some detail that they quite often withhold. I assume that he was murdered someway, shot, stabbed, strangled, died of blunt force trauma. When, will they tell us.
