In Burillville, it was pretty clearly an accident. The one in Coventry was announced as and being investigated as a homicide. There hasn't been much in the way of followup since that announcement but that's fairly normal for a murder investigation that doesn't have developments.
I mostly blame "true crime culture" but it's kinda nuts how people love to presume the serial killers. Grifters will outright profit off of pushing this bullshit that requires either:
A) the cops to be so stupid they're missing repeated signs of foul play that some jackass with a podcast is finding. It's certainly not impossible but one side of the equation has training, experience, access to the evidence and zero motivation to pretend there isn't a crime.
Or....
B) They notice it and, for reasons more insane than any serial killer in history, decided to pretend it isn't a thing with the public. Police aren't really in the business of downplaying or minimizing crime. More crime makes it easier to say that not only is their current budget. staffing, and equipment necessary but they probably need more. Beyond that, it's just intentionally risking the public safety to not warn people. Even if that did somehow make it easier to catch someone (it doesn't), the risk that more people get hurt isn't worth it.
But instead we'll have people who push that Smiley Face Killer bullshit selling ads on their website, doing podcast reads and even getting paid for TV specials to push this bullshit because, at the end of the day, all this is about for the source is entertainment and profiteering. Nobody gives a shit about the real person who died.

Mine was done in a couple of weeks, but I did it at AAA so not sure if that changes processing time or not.

I feel like this is related to the two bodies pulled from ponds recently. As far as I understand, they are not connected.

LOL serial killers are so passé, all about mass shootings these days and little Rhody does not have either presently.

Couldn't agree more. Went there exclusively for years, now I won't be back. Everytime I go I leave frustrated

If only RISE were better, my experience was much more enjoyable when they were Summit. Now they're constantly out of stuff, but you don't find that out until you arrive. The service used to be great as a medical patient too, but now they seem to cater to rec customers. I don't recommend them any longer

I got mine in November and don't think it took any longer than a normal license. Couple of weeks.

Yup bodies in ponds, came her to say this. Let’s hope they connect the dots ASAP Edit: just saw she was a hiker, but weren’t there others?

I haven’t found any. But one person in this thread linked a source to the body that was found in a lake. It’s allegedly just a biking incident tho

Is there context to the fact that this is happening in RI?

Worked in MA, but was living in Harrisville/Bville at the time.

Generally if they're trying to track someone, they try to get the news out as much as possible. They want everyone in the area on the lookout for the person.
Keeping it off the news just makes it easier for the suspect to hide.

This is absolutely bullshit. However, staying safe is always advisable. Message is great, method of delivery is awful.

She was an avid hiker from MA who had the misfortune of falling in.

This is a very important tip because you learn not to trust whoever shared this uncritically in the first place because they're an idiot.
edit to add: not a dig at u/Ryv0n at all. The blind sharing without at least trying to verify some of it is the problem, not asking "I've seen this a couple times. anyone know more?"

The word is spreading through snapchat. I imagine facebook as well. It’s hard to tell where it started
