Police still hoped information would surface regarding two men seen walking, separately, along Drown Road on Thursday: one with dark skin and very dark eyebrows wearing dark, baggy clothing and a white male carrying a backpack and walking stick.

"If you have any suspicions, let us check them out," Smith said.

Not long ago, a local person helped build the case against David Couture, who allegedly murdered Mooers Forks woman Alphegina Snide on Oct. 27, 2006. Thanks to that lead, police were able to place Couture within a mile of Snide's home on the night she was killed.

"The public generally breaks a case for us," Smith said. "They really are the eyes and ears of the community."
