40 year old Rosa Prieto is the woman pulled from the Kinnickinnic River Sunday morning.  That was released today.  The family suspects foul play.  The police are saying little, other than they are conducting follow up interviews.  Of course should this prove to be a homicide, investigators need to play this close to their vest. 

I met with Prieto's family this afternoon.  I asked her 16 year old daughter if I could give her  hug and explained very quietly I know how she feels because I too, lost my mother.  She started crying.  She wouldn't let go and I didn't want to stop hugging her--- maybe hoping to take away a tiny bit of her pain.

For those of you who've asked in the past, what's toughest about our jobs and most rewarding--- what I just put before you-----is both.

Hang in there Alycia.       -Cynthia
