Uh yeah..someone brags or talks..sure they trip over their words in questioning great...BUT....With no witnesses, and no video evidence...How will you prosecute? Unless the suspect(s) actually ADMIT to doing it...they've got nothing....This isn't TV...Any crap lawyer can get you out of this mess.

You've got to have more then people bragging and hearing things, and tripping over their words in questioning. With no witnesses, and assuming there is no physical evidence left at the scene, and no video evidence...You have to have admission of guilt.. or you've got nothing... Now if you have an eyewitness that comes forward and says "yeah I saw them do it, I can identify them in a line up or in a court room, etc" That's different..You have a case.
