Well, watched the City of DeKalb PD press conference on the murdered student. What they can tell us is just enough to make everyone more unhappy but not enough to give us any sort of assurance.
They found remains in the park pretty early in the search. They could not id them as human. They found some of the students personal effects near the remains. Over the weekend forensics confirmed that the remains were human but they could not confirm that they were the missing student.
I hope that they do confirm that - to give us all some closure. And I hope that they find the murderer too.
Oops, skimmed the article. They're still not sure if the remains are hers.
Yeah, my boss' kids go to school less than a mile from that park (which, by the way, is not on campus but is v. close to the sort of cheap apts. that many students live in) so the school sent a letter home with her kids.
Also, if the killer is somebody living in the park, chances are whoever it is is now elsewhere. (Because the park has been aswarm with law enforcement for over a week.)
Semantics question: Batman--vigilante or no?
Batman is a vigilante in that he works outside the justice system (if you stick with the Dark Knight Batman rather than Silver Age Batman).

Depends on the era/canon.
I know some times during the fifties and sixties he was officially deputized. That, of course, negates much of Batman's dark essence and he's been a vigilante ever since Miller's reboot with Year One.
Adam West Batman - no, because he was deputized by Commissioner Gordon. Modern Batman, yes.
Someone (elsewhere) is saying that since he does not dispense punishment, he is not a vigilante. He just delivers bad guys for their judgment and eventual punishment. But I don't want to not call him one. It doesn't seem to fit.
The thing that will answer it is "Would you get in trouble with the law if you tried to make a citizen's arrest using Batman's methods?"

What about when he beats the crap out of them? Or maybe that's more Daredevil's style.
