The article states, “At a 1st Precinct community meeting last week, local detectives explained to concerned residents why the case was in limbo: “We want to have a solid case when we bring this to the DA,” Capt. Mark Iocco said, according to Tribeca Tribune. “We can’t bring it to the DA with holes all over it. So you have to give us a little time. Our detectives, they’re doing so much with this. There’s a lot of pressure on the detective squad.””.
